I had a friend call me up to inform me my website was gone. My hosting company apparently closed down without notifying anyone.
As such, I had an excuse to create a brand new one. It's updated in my contact info. Same address, new site. I'm migrating my entire photo collection over there for anyone interested in checking it out.
Red.October will be releasing his debut album, The Day I Ate Hollywood, in the fourth quarter of 2008. Written entirely himself, Red.October%u2019s goal with this album is to demonstrate a fresh new sound ranging from eclectic club bangers to well thought out stories that pull the listener in. With a knack for bringing to the table a different feel that is truly unique and accessible to music lovers the world over, Red.October is determined to take center stage and make a name for himself.
The Day I Ate Hollywood is mostly produced entirely by Red.October with help from a few talented up and coming producers who are also close friends with Red.October such as KuoteOble, DJ Turk, Trackbangaz, and DJ SL. Aside from Red.October, recording was provided by Billy the Kid. Red.October provided the first mix and BJ Hamlin took care of the final mixing and mastering. Both are close friends with Red.October.
The Day I Ate Hollywood will be available for purchase on iTunes, CD Baby, his MySpace page (myspace.com/ockythehappysumo), and out of his backpack. %u263A

In conjunction with the exhibition Kenro Izu: Sacred Places, the Detroit Institute of Arts is organizing an online photo contest that invites DIA visitors, the online community, and the general public to submit photos that capture their interpretation of sacred Detroit. Exhibition curators Nancy Barr and Amelia Chau, as well as Kyohei Abe, professor of photography at the College for Creative Studies, will blog to review and comment on a selection of the submissions. The winner of the contest will receive prizes, including a signed copy of Kenro Izu: Light over Sacred Places of Asia, two front-row seats to Izu's lecture on September 14, 2008, and admission for two to the post-lecture strolling supper.

Kenro Izu: Sacred Places features over 50 black-and-white photographs of spiritual landmarks located in Asia, the Pacific Islands, the Middle East, and Europe. It's on view at the DIA July 9-October 12. Renowned for his stunningly beautiful photographs of the ancient temples in Angkor, Cambodia, Japanese-born artist Kenro Izu has traveled extensively since 1979, capturing images of religious sites and monuments across the world. A number of these sites have never been photographed before, while others are endangered from neglect, environmental challenges, or overexposure to human contact. Much more than merely documentary in nature, Izu's photographs convey the spiritual essence of these sites that have resonated over millennia with peoples of many faiths.
Kenro Izu: Sacred Places was organized and is circulated by the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts. All photographs are lent by The Lane Collection, courtesy of the Peabody Essex Museum.

We are forming a new band that will be capable of covering most anything from country to rock and all our original tunes as well. I couldn't have hoped to find better musicians and I know you will all agree.
As things progress and we have set up our first live performances, I will be sure to let you know!
The Bump-N-Uglies won a hard fought 2 out of 3 falls contest at the Marble Lounge inside of the Historic Detroit Institute of Arts. The Team of Los Hombres del Valor fought hard and tried every dirty trick they could, but in the end, they were no match for the BNU Beat Down Crew!

As much as I'd love to make it out to the DEMF, I'm going to be enjoying some time with rednecks, mullets, gearheads, and race exhaust this weekend down in Indianapolis. If any of you Detroiters are going to be there, I'm gonna be at the Coke Lot with a group of about 50 others. Should be a riot.
