On Jan. 1, 1808, the U.S. government banned the transatlantic importation of people as slaves. By any account, it was landmark legislation. But its 200th anniversary passed with little public acknowledgement -- and certainly with nothing like the commemorations for the 1976 bicentennial, or even, locally, for Pittsburgh's 250th anniversary. Pitt history prof. Marcus Rediker wants to know why
St. Vincent plays at the Andy Warhol Museum at 8 p.m. Feb. 25.
I used to take pleasure visiting museums on trips around Britain, but now I am so clearly out-of-place: like Godzilla, a huge hulking man looming above the children. Our galleries and museums have been turned into playgrounds, with activity sheets and treasure trails, interactive video games and coloured signs that tell you about the exhibits in a few simple sentences, but nothing that an educated adult would not already know. It's no wonder I feel uncomfortable. Signs at the gates to children playgrounds warn that unaccompanied adults are unwelcome. There are no signs at museum doors - yet - but it feels as though their ought to be. What are they but giant creches, designed to hold our kids until they are old enough for vertical drinking establishments?
Speaking of Joann Wheeler, she passes on that:
Christina Moffett at Oil City's Famoore's restaurant is interested in displaying up to 5 pieces of work on their walls, preferably work that reflects the Oil City landscape and surroundings. Her number is 676-4789 and she is easiest to reach on Mondays and Tuesdays. Take photos or samples of your work and be prepared with business cards so that potential buyers who see your work there can contact you.

So, yesterday, I dropped by Bell's Comics and picked up Abe Sapien: The Drowning #1,B.P.R.D. : 1946 #2 , Angel: After the Fall (dreadful), and 7 copies of a 50 cent reprint of Neil Gaiman's Sandman: Sleep of the Just (to hand out to non-comic-y friends). I also noticed that Dark Horse publishing is looking for finished proposals -- story and art -- from writer-artists or writer-and-artist teams.
