According to her stove, she will be in LA on May 15 and in SF on May 16 to promote her new book. We should go!

Due to my general distaste for getting tasered, I have been avoiding the UCLA library. However, I found this odd calendar among their online collections. It was made by a chemical company 1899 and intended for physicians. Coincidentally, the dates match up with 2006. Here is the library’s description:
“The Antikamnia (”Opposed to Pain”) Chemical Company of St. Louis, Missouri produced several calendars (1897-1901) illiustrated with “Skeleton Sketches”–chromolithographed series based on watercolors by the local physician-artist Louis Crucius. The limited edition calendars were mailed to physicians who provided business cards or letterhead correspondence as evidence of their medical standing. Antikamnia was a proprietary product consisting of acetanalid (antifebrin) combined with sodium bicarbonate, citric acid and caffeine.
The Liebeskind Collection recently acquired a copy of the calendar for 1899, which matches 2006’s calendar day-for-day.”
Also, check out some more of their online medical exhibits here to learn about things like bloodletting, and be glad that today’s healthcare system is so much less absurd.

I don’t know a lot about this, but it seems pretty self explanatory. A celebration of LA public transportation, with art from the cobra snake and Shepard Fairey as a guest DJ. Sounds fun! You need to ride public transportation to get in. I will be there as soon as i figure out how…
