Here a few more shots from this Cleveland winter theme. They are from different snow storms and differing locations throughout Cleveland. Mostly random cell-phone color images remain, and here they are! Cheers and stay warm!
This mid-February entry simply falls into the category of “it is what it is.” I had a back-log of bulk snow and winter bleariness shots that I have accumulated (for better or for worse), that somehow needed a home here! Enjoy!
Thanks to the Council of Chiefs, you can now find more info about the Cleveland Lottery League at lotteryleague.blogspot.com! Updates and archives of this expanding North East Ohio phenomenon and more information about the the draft event on February 5th 2010 can be spotted there!
Cleveland Lottery League elsewhere on the web:
And of course, these pages include their own Lottery League related links and additional information. There is no shortage of music and art inter-connectivity here! Cheers!

The surveys are filled out, the photos are being submitted and the draft is on!
Yes, it is the 2010 Cleveland Lottery League Draft going down at the Beachland Ballroom on Friday February 5th.
The new installment of the Lottery League has even more artists and musicians this year. Word has it that the breadth, width and variety of talent has been expanded to include more hip cats from the noise community and visual artists!!! Hell yeahz!
I have been referred to the league this year by a good friend and I look forward to the results. Who knows: I may end up working with a blues guitarist, a painter and a trombone player. (????)
The ease by which I got registered and signed up for this event was great! Browsing and filling out the survey really got me “geeked up” as it were.
And of, course the promotion for the draft features the flier art of John G. Great stuff!
See you on the fifth!
Ahh, yet another addition of my rather superfluous “year in review” highlighting further some of these leftover shots of 2009. It is becoming clear(er) to me that there is a need to organize and clean house of these random shots! (before losing any more of their relevance or significance)
This entry highlights some of the Cleveland graffiti images I discovered along the way, in addition to the various environments in which they are found. A friend of mine spoke of the importance of noticing graffiti in different cities, to see what messages and cultures can be found therein. Flavors abound!
Look up turkey, it's JUSE!

I had a disk of pictures that I took in 2009 that sort of went undiscovered for a while. I figured I should post these few shots of my buddy Josef Makkos in this radiation suit or whatever it is while frolicking in Tremont. I may post some more displaced ‘09 pictures of other subject matter soon. Enjoy these for now…
I stumbled upon some photos I took a few years back. These were from a show that Frass Accolades played at Tower 2012, also on the bill were Dead Peasant Insurance and Abiku. I have fond memories of playing at this space with both Frass Accolades and 9-Volt Haunted House. I have not heard about much activity at this space or many others in recent history. Tremont has a void now without the Language Foundry. All Go Factory is doing things and I look forward to future events there. Never attended any shows at the “Pink House” in Lakewood. Church of Ayler is long gone along with its predecessors. It is wonderful when these spots turn up, tune out and reach their zenith. Maybe we can call this critical mass. They fizzle and fade. We can all hold out breath I suppose for whatever happens next…
Looking forward!
