VIDEO SYNTHESIZER
Steve Beck belongs to a cool club called EAT (experiments in art and technology). EAT was a super psychedelic, electronic, computer- engineer, art movement from the late 1960's. In 1969, Beck (who is referred to as an "electronic polymediast" on his website) invented the awesome Video Synthesizer. In 1979 he invented the Phosphotron (not sure what this actauly does but the image of it is enough to get excited about). I wish we could get hold of a video weaver to make some prints with. If anyone knows of one please advise...

If you are in Los Angeles, visit Ashanti fabrics located downtown on 9th St. and Los Angeles. I stumbled upon this reliquary of graphic prints when I was in LA visiting our showroom. Never before have I found a store that carries such a rare and authentic selection of wax print and Kente cloth. Prices are reasonable from 3$-8$ dollars a yard. You can even order a custom African style dress from the owner. These fabrics would make amazing curtains, pillow cases, or table cloths...

DETOROITO METARU SHITI
According to IMDB- this is the actual title of the japanese film Detroit Metal City. Soph and I saw this the last time we were in Hong Kong to work at our factories. Its all in Japanese except for Gene Simmons, who speaks in English and is inexplicably understood by the rest of the characters. Would have thought that Gene would have more of a linguistic gift given that monster of a tongue he's blessed with. Either way, its a good clip to get those Halloween costume juices flowing...

VHS OF THE WEEK: RICHARD SIMMONS AND THE SILVER FOXES
A birthday gift from my buddy Max, who understands just how important it is to get in shape while spending time with the parents of your favorite celebs. Via the VHS, that is. The video includes a warm up, low impact cardio workout, and 3 minute relax session- its exactly what I want in a workout! Thanks for looking out, Max.
Next time youre in LA, be sure to swing by Richard Simmons' Beverly Hills gym on Civic Center Drive called, yes, SLIMMONS.
Cut and paste the below link for Richard's teaching schedule.
