**Warning! Realistic blood and gore! (Because it is real. Duh.)*

November was Carp Caviar promo month, and I am a huge fan of all the carpyfishfun that goes on over at Bottom Union. I am also one of those people who does everything at the last possible moment (I’ve been procrastinating my whole life; drove my high school teachers nuts. I am not someone you’d want working on a 10th grade group project, or any other grade for that matter).

And so it was this year with my Carp Caviar promo. I didn’t gather the footage until after Thanksgiving, and I didn’t put the music together until the 28th, then we drove upstate to the house (no internet yet!) and the only available wi-fi is located in the center of town…sitting in the truck in the torrential rain and freezing cold to upload a video just wasn’t an appealing option. Also, the connection is weaker than the cocktails at a midtown hotel bar.

Excuses, excuses! So anyway, here it is in it’s gory glory. Did I mention it’s a wee bit gory? This is not a video for anyone who cannot stand the sight of blood or creepy surgical instruments. You’ve been warned. If bodily humours give you a case of the howling fantods, watch this or this instead.

BAM!

An amazing collection of artwork is available at the 2nd annual BAMart Silent Auction. If you’re in NYC, go view the works and bid live and up close. If not, check them out and bid online! A wide range of art in a wide range of prices. I’m partial to this guy’s work, but my opinion is a little biased: he makes me laugh and frequently walks my dog. Hey–I don’t know much about art, but I did get a B- in Art History 101, a B+ in Modern Art 201, and a B in Modern Architecture during “College: The Early Years”. And I know what I like!

What is Carp Caviar? Well, I’d like to say “Click the Quick Time image above (or here) for further details” but in reality, it wouldn’t help you out all that much. That shouldn’t stop you from watching, however. Surely you have 45 seconds to spare? For some more in-depth information on Carp Caviar and its impending 2006 arrival, go visit the strange goings on at Bottom Union. There are several carpy promos for your viewing pleasure, ranging from the sublime to the disturbing. I have to say that my personal favorites are this one by Maximillian Video, this one by The Unholy Knight, of course this one by Dave Huth (I don’t know how he makes such magic), and this one from pouringdown (even though it scares me a little) and this one by a real, not-exactly-live- virtual person…which is just plain bizzarre. Head’s up: that one’s sort of naked. Virtually. And I love the all-over-your-screen antics of this one by Nathan Miller over at Bicycle Sidewalk. Oh, and this clever one by mrmultiple2 uses an old late-night radio favorite from the Dr. Demento Days. For goodness’ sake: I like them all–each one is weirder and more creative than the last. Grab yourself a cold beverage and watch them back-to-back! I guarantee you that it’s better than whatever is on tv right now.
