Last week, the East Bay Express published their Best of the East Bay for 2003.
It seemed like a good stimulus for some commentary from your ever-lovin' Beast Blog authors.
For starters, they missed a marvelous opportunity to call it "Best of the Beast."
Congrats to the Traywick Gallery on winning the reader's poll for best art gallery. Beast Blog non-author Michael Sippey is married to Trina, who runs the gallery.
I hadn't realized Bitch published out of Oakland. With them, Kitchen Sink, "ReadyMade, the East Bay is center of hip woman-run media.
EBE's choice for "Best Art Park" is the Albany Waterfront Park. I'd only heard about this place a couple of weeks ago. And on May 24th, don't miss:
========
"BUM'S PARADISE" - a documentary by Thomas McCabe
After decades of being a dump, the Albany Landfill closed in 1986.
Nature slowly claimed the land, and various homeless men and women moved
in. They built modest dwellings, become a community, and lived free
from public scrutiny. It was a magical place where the homeless, for a
time, were at home.

Posted by peterme at May 14, 2003 07:57 AM | TrackBackAnyone thinking about a visit to "Bum's Paradise" tonight should know that it's been shut down by Berkeley's finest - They read about it in the newspaper they said, and there was no permit for a widely-published party involving films, the homeless, power generators, squatters, webloggers and after-hours use of the people's wilderness.
So we were turned away at the gate! Too bad - great promise that event had. They'll likely reschedule for another time, maybe with a smaller outreach. Or, gasp, official sanction?
The cop who spoke to us at the police roadblock said that part of party permitting is paying for police monitoring of the event; "kinda hard for the homeless" I replied.
