LOCAL:

Guest today – Josh Lamb of The Beggar Folk

“The Beggar Folk are Josh and Trista Lamb, a band of folk singer-songwriters from Lancaster, Pa. Their music is mellow and intimate—finger-picking, warm harmonies, thoughtful lyrics, and a fierce love for both man and creator have all lead to The Beggar Folk’s ability to stir their listeners. Their distinct blend of modern folk+old country lends a natural avenue to their strong storytelling and minimalist roots. Classically trained and seasoned instrumentalists, recent additions Taylor Brandt & Meredith Shaub (violins) & Allison Farris (cello) bring new depth to The Beggar Folk’s emotionally driven writings. Their ability to personally connect with each song and translate lyrics to strings is both rare and highly moving.”

“BACKGROUND: Josh has been writing songs since his teens, but it was during Josh and Trista’s recent 7-month internship in Alexandria, Egypt, that his lyrics began to mature. Being so far from friends and family back home, entering a foreign culture, and witnessing the injustices of war and prejudice led to a lot of healthy introspection. As a parting gift, Josh and Trista had one of their songs, “The Rug, The Shovel, and The Gun” translated into Arabic and sang it to their Egyptian neighbors as they shared one last cup of tea. Since moving to Pennsylvania this past June, Josh and Trista have been spending their days writing, performing, networking and enjoying the beauty of all that Lancaster has to offer.”

May 1stPCA&D Senior ShowWe’ll be LIVE at 2:30PM – 3:30PM
“It’s the gallery event of the year: You don’t want to miss the Senior Show & Celebration!
PCA&D’s Senior Show & Celebration, May 1 from 3 – 6 p.m., is three hours of unbridled excitement, live music, friends, family — and 60,000 square feet of artwork by the Class of 2010.

Held one week prior to commencement ceremonies (May 8, 2010), this is the capstone event for Pennsylvania College of Art & Design’s graduating seniors.  That’s because the event is free and open to the public, every floor of the College is covered in art and music, and the halls and common areas are filled with celebrating members of the PCA&D community and general public, many who consider this “the gallery event of the year!”

Links

• New tax structure for Lancaster County? Anne could be off her rocker, but maybe not. Do you know anything about this? Let us know!
• CW didn’t make it to Launch, be we heard it went well.
• Art Walk was supposed to be a big success this past weekend.
• CW will be at PCA&D for their Senior Show in May.

• The CHL has a lot of fun stuff coming up, including a brainstorming session at the NBD studio this Thursday (22 April 2010).

• David Moulton of The Lancast tells us the Lancaster County Flower Show was a big success this past weekend.

Stuff Max found

• 41 Creative Examples of Twitter Based Logos
• The Toe Mouse!
• Apple’s 4th-generation iPhone revealed

Like that elusive Waldo, Max & Anne have made a game of today’s podcast. Anne’s not here (boo) so Max has to go it alone. Max decided to broadcast from the wrong station so none of the live audience could find the video cast today. Major fail. But we did rebroadcast on the proper channel and, of course, you can always watch the archived video or listen to the audio version on iTunes.

This past weekend was Easter, how was yours? Max celebrated with a bike ride.

A beautiful spring day, perfect for a ride. But Max needs to get a "big boy bike."

This Week’s Picks

• Max: La Casa Bella Italian restaurant at 126 North Prince St in Lancaster Pa. Awesome food, awesome people, awesome neighborhood cheer.
• Anne: Grain Edit “Grain edit is focused on classic design work from the 1950s-1970s and contemporary designers that draw inspiration from that time period,” according to their Web site.

This week on Creatively Wired: An Evil Monkey subs for Anne, Lancaster for Haiti posters and tickets available, upcoming Creative House of Lancaster meeting, Eris Vs. iPhone, House Bill 300, First Friday at the Infantree and picks of the week.

Lancaster for Haiti: Hearts in Harmony

Posters and tickets are available now. Not Bad Design studio has tickets now and the list of other businesses where you can purchase tickets will be online soon. Get your tickets now: $10 a piece – $20 suggested donation to benefit the relief effort in Haiti.

Creative House of Lancaster

Next meeting Thursday 18 March 2010 at Annie Bailey’s. Grant Rissler from MCC will be there to talk about the group’s work all over the world and answer questions about how the Lancaster for Haiti donations will help out Haitians in need.

The Eris is pretty slick

HTC Eris Vs. the iPhone

Anne finally got a new phone. No, not the iPhone. But she did get a pretty sweet Eris by HTC. So far it looks like a great phone and a good solution for those Verizon folks reluctant to make the switch to AT&T. The gauntlet’s been thrown by Anne so watch for a head-to-head, battle of the phones between the two of them in the near future. Can’t figure out how to do screen captures on the Eris yet so you’ll just have to wait until Anne figures that out.

Forum on PA House Bill 300

Max will be attending the Forum on HB 300 tonight at the City Council Chambers, Southern Market Center tonight from 7pm-9pm. Join him if you can and show your support for the GLBT community. Look for video from tonight’s event coming this week.

First Friday at The Infantree

Max stopped by the Infantree Friday night for the Help Haiti Heal: Poster Show and caught a little video. The guys over there always put together great shows and this was no exception. And it was for a good cause, the Haiti relief effort. Max couldn’t get the video cut together for today’s video cast (#MaxFail) but will post is as soon as it’s ready.

Picks of the week

Anne: Double Twist – syncing for the rest of us non-iPhone users.
Max: FAIL (no pick this week)

2010 Winter Olympics

Giant beavers, faux Mounties and maple leaves abounded at the closing ceremony of the Vancouver Olympics. The over-the-top Canadiana amused many, but irked many more. Photograph by: Jason Payne, Canwest News Service • from www.VancouverSun.com

Max and Anne aren’t really hockey fans, but who could help being swept up in the Canada-US rivalry that proved to be one of the most exciting sporting events of the Winter Olympics? And, wow, what an ending the closing ceremonies proved to be. The last 10 minutes was an explosion of every Canadian cliché wrapped in a Busby Berkeley-meets-Macy’s-Thanksgiving-parade production that was so over the top and campy that Max nearly peed himself with laughter. If you missed it all we can say is “bring on the giant beavers.” We wish we could find a video of the closing ceremonies out there on the interwebs, but we’ve had no luck so far. If you find one, please let us know. We’d love to share the Canadian love!

Please Rob Me
A new Web site has popped up called PleaseRobMe.com that claims to be “Listing all those empty homes out there” and apparently it’s causing quite a stir. As one of the creates of the site, Boy van Amstel of the Netherlands, told Amber MacArthur, and Leo Laporte in a Net @ Night interview, the site’s purpose is to highlight the dangers of listing your home address with sites like Foursquare and then checking in and out from that location. Basically the site is nothing more than a Twitter search the compiles tweets like “@TwitterUser left home and checked in 6 minutes ago: Tira-I-misu (@ Bubble Factory) http://4sq.com/xxxx” (we’ve removed the names and links for privacy, but you can find a lot more at pleaserobme.com).

Lancaster for Haiti – Hearts in Harmony

• HGTV – no social media links on their website. Anne sent them a tweet – will the icons appear? If so it’s all thanks to Anne
• Netflix imposes 28-day waiting period on Warner Bros. films
• Blockbuster closing all over the place, Redbox is competing and will other studios push for waiting periods. Is new release on demand a thing of the past? Why can’t studios get it that we want this stuff now. Out of site out of mind! Hope it backfires.
• 3D TV Fail (Don’t get Max started). Do we really need it? Should interactive TV be the real focus. Let’s start a new Twitter hash tag #3Dtvfail. ESPN and Discovery launching 3D channels – really?
