Orange. Bright, citrus-y, refreshing and fruity. It is hard to believe that such a lively colour has so often been shunned, called difficult to work with and frequently considered loud and inappropriate. It hardly seems fair. Well, we're going to change all of that. We are going to celebrate Orange in all it's vibrant, juicy glory. Revel in Orange by creating orange art. Make Orange the focus ...
What do you see when you look out the window? No, not that one. Not the one with the lovely view of the garden and pond. The other ones. The one with the view of the back corner of the yard or the bit of fence with the a/c unit sitting in front of it. The window that offers a view of the blank side of the neighboring building or looks directly into the apartment across the alley. And don't...
Poetry is meaningful to many people. A poem can affect every person who reads or hears it in a completely unique way.

The old time side show - freaks, barkers, hoochie-kootchie girls, geeks, snake oil salesmen and amazing physical feats. No traveling carnival was complete without one. Their colourful banners and fast talking pitchmen who reeled off even more colourful descriptions, enticed you to part with your money and step inside the tents to confront the exotic and mysterious, the horrifying and terrible...
EBSQ's 5th Annual "Ripped Off" event celebrates some good old fashioned American values-- protection for, and value of our creativity by our government, freedom of speech, and most importantly--the pursuit of happiness. This is one of the most enjoyable group efforts of the year, where we let our fellows take our "sacred" creations and poke fun, pun, and in general have a great time. This show is ...
