Like Cornell, locals Libby Macalister and Jason Delaney have labored for years on these windows onto imagination; dozens of their own shadow boxes are up at Epoch coffee house until the 27th of January. They are lovely and intriguing, and we hope you get to see them. We also hope that you read this dynamic duo's wonderful musings on giant condoms and old dental x-rays. Drumroll, please... more ›

We're going to go to see Ghostland Observatory on Thursday night at The Velvet Spade for the Fischerspooner CD... more ›
