National Soul Patch Day

[ May 29, 2009; ] Jacques Munkey writes to us about National Soul Patch Day on May 29th.  (I guess any buffoon can declare a National anything day on the internets.)

What is National Soul Patch Day?  Well, besides the newest, best holiday, it is also a contest with real prizes (well, real t-shirts)!
The soul patch is the very foundation of [...]

Props To Cincinnati

Someone going by the name of Kutiman has sampled a bunch of individual Youtube videos of people playing music, rapping, etc. and mixed them together into a single amazing music video.  Not only is the raw effort of finding, clipping, editing, and mixing all of this video astonishing, but the final product is good.  It’s [...]

BREAKING NEWS: Superman, Justice League Living In Union Terminal

Cincinnati’s Union Terminal Totally Looks Like The Justice League’s Hall of Justice

R.I.P. Cinci Freedom

Last week, Cincinnati lost a friend.
Cincinnati Freedom, the fugitive cow that drew worldwide headlines when she escaped from a Camp Washington slaughterhouse in 2002 and eluded authorities for 11 days, has died at an animal sanctuary in New York.
I don’t really remember this cow.  And I certainly did not know that her escapades garnered worldwide [...]

Lite Brite Indie Pop & Film Test

[ July 24, 2008 to July 27, 2008. ] I wonder if there is any other event in the country that so explicitly mixes video, film, and live music into one attraction.  Or does Cincinnati have the only one?

The Lite Brite Indie Pop & Film Test (that’s Test, not Fest) returns for its 5th year.  On July 24th, it kicks off with a feature [...]
