It's Just Getting Out of One Car, and Into Another

I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it.

Death

Death is not the worst that can happen to men.
-- Plato

Who Are You Not To Be?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
--Marianne Williamson

Voila! My New Movie (in Kickstarter Form)!

Hooray, hooray, hooray!!! Almost a year in the making my first documentary Life's Too Short! on the kickass Jersey cover band Shorty Long & The Jersey Horns launched its Kickstarter yesterday!!!

Shorty Long & The Jersey Horns are a nine-person cover band, fronted by Rick Tisch who was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (aka "brittle bone disease"), which causes those affected by it to be extremely short. But even so Rick is still a born entertainer; the band is incredibly popular, doing 80 plus shows each summer season.

They are totally a force to be reckoned with! Seeing this band reminded me of the power of music and its ability to transcend all obstacles. If you choose to back Life's Too Short! that would be awesome, but if not no worries I just wanted to keep you in the loop since you are the most awesome awesome friends of Edible Skinny! Thanks again for your amazing energy! 

 

Love! Kat

Single Fare Submissions!

Following the tremendous success of “Single Fare 2,” Michael Kagan, Jean-Pierre Roy and RH Gallery are pleased to announce “Single Fare 3,” an exhibition of artwork on New York City MTA MetroCards (for which I submitted 4 Metrocard art pieces today!!! )

Inspired by the notion that the city’s subways and buses allow for a kind of creative interchange unmatched in human history, the first “Single Fare” sought to create a unique art event where art and artists could come together to form a monumental event made from a tiny, innocuous piece of plastic: The MetroCard!



Single Fare 3 promises to deliver an even more exciting exhibition with more art, more artists and new ways to view and enjoy the work.



Opening next Wednesday, February 13, 2013 6pm - 9pm at the RH Gallery (137 Duane St, New York, New York 10013) it would be awesome if anyone in the NY area could check it out!

Saying Yes Begins Things

Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.
--Stephen Colbert
