In this day and age, it’s hard to say what Andy Warhol would be doing. Would he have a myspace.com page, a blog, or reality television show?

Over the last three weeks, students have been analyzing and reintrepreting the art of Andy Warhol with The Revolutionary Party (Justin Heideman, Beth Van Dam, and Paul Wenzel). Using THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol (from A to B and Back Again) as a guide, students are collecting hours of video footage and audio to be used in a Mulitmedia Battle on February 23. Check out their 30 person conference call, collections of Paris Hilton images, and phone blog on the class website.

“That was a blogworthy moment.”

“What was?”

“Robert Gober just walked through the department.”

“Shut up! Really?”

“Yeah – just now.”

“Let’s get him back here! ‘Excuse me, Mr. Gober, would you chat with me for a few moments so I can have something to blog about?’”

Sunday, January 8 saw the arrival of our latest addition to ECP: little Amado Rey Roozen Siasoco IV was born to Teen Programs Manager Witt and wife Holly. Congrats to the new parents!

Besides, Witt recognizes that we need to get started early in order to get little Rey a decent amount of Google hits before his first birthday.

Indi-film royalty Lili Taylor is coming to the Walker!

Tickets to the films and the Regis Dialogue go on sale to members today, and there was an entourage that set out from ECP today to get tickets. In addition to seeing the locally-shot Factotum, I’m really looking forward to Girls Town, Dogfight, and…The Addiction!

(I love vampire culture. Shhh…)
