Philosophy Bites
We came upon an interesting podcast today called Philosophy Bites. (The novel by the same name is pictured below.) It is a great source for interviews with top philosophers engaging in conversations on a myriad of different topics ranging from human consciousness to scientific realism and the Meaning of Life to the Meaning of Interpretation. The site is conducted by David Edmonds and Nigel Warburton. Edmonds has a PhD in Philosophy from the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK while Warburton acquired his education from Darwin College in Cambridge. The interviews are usually no longer than 15 minutes and posses an in depth peer into unique concepts. Check them out-- you can listen to the interviews for free! --maybe play an episode on your ride to work or before you go to bed. I'm just trying to plant lil' nuggets that will grow into big ol' monsters someday. Give it a whirl. Click on the link below.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat
Hope all are safe and dried out from this weekend's tropical storm. We have power at FTS Gallery and are zapping away! No lull in permanently marking individuals here. The month of September is going to be chock full of activity. We have three guest artists lending their talents at FTS next month. From upstate NY Mr. Steve Buttons will be manning a booth from Monday 9/12 - Wednesday 9/14. The following week Nathan Evans will be gracing our fine establishment from Monday 9/19 - Friday 9/23. Immediately following Mr. Evans, Ty McEwen will be traveling from Boise, Idaho to tattoo at FTS Gallery from Sat. 9/24 - Friday 9/30.

Calling all writers, scribblers, and incoherent banterers.
Nutmeg State of Mind
I wish to develop a soap box of sorts. A publication involving local minds. A very free (in both cost and form) and inclusive literary experiment. I would like to gather excerpts by either CT residents or former residents of the constitution state. There is no necessary theme or mode to this publication. The works may be non-linear or precise, beautiful or revolting, or possibly complete and utter drivel. The collection is to become a practice of free speech regardless of particular politics. Nutmeg State of Mind has no horse in the race- no player in the game. It is simply a venue to grant people permission to carry on. I care not of anyone's personal agenda-- meaning everyone is entitled to an opinion no matter how skewed-- as well as everyone having the right to intelligently oppose an opinion. This is why you should feel free to vent/express whatever is on your mind. The only thing I see as a being a general rule is for contributors to be let it rip (creatively speaking.) I will inform readers if they disagree with a point of view/opinion/statement to understand that it is not reflective of the viewpoints of all contributors of Nutmeg State of Mind. Short stories, poetry, rants, and essays are all welcome.
If you have a wonderful fancy for bugs, let us hear about it.
If you have disdain for either conservative or liberal political ideologies, speak up.
If you have written about a fantasy where your armpits emit dragon bile which causes fairies to crave allergy medicine, elaborate.
If you find beauty in anything at all and have moments when you do not know why you begin crying-- share.
Guidelines are not important as of yet-- lets see how something can evolve from nothing. All interested parties send emails to mariopet@gmail.com.
Thanks All

Mike Falzone Round Two this Friday!!!
...and you will tell he by the trail of used baby wipes. Mr Falzone will be kicking off his late summer early fall tour with an intensely hetero-erotic show at FTS Gallery, IN STEREO! We will be airing the performance live via Wonka-vision all over the world, besides Sri Lanka due to Mr Falzone's disdain toward the small island country. Throughout the evening spankings will be given out at random to any person wearing sassy underpants and sporting a bad attitude. So come one come all (except if you are Sri Lankan) to the event of a lifetime, or at least the event of this Friday evening. A white kid with a guitar- adorably awkward and slightly doable. Mr. Michael. Falzone.
(this message is not condoned by Mr Michael Falzone. In no way shape or form does he or any other body affiliated have any misunderstandings with individuals of Sri Lankan decent.)
doors at 7pm
$10
all proceeds goes to abandoned sea anemones found on the coast of Tennessee.
