Ah, yes. Last week, I opened the Pandora’s box of the “Seinfeld” New Yorker-cartoon episode and out popped a cute kitty to explain humor. Not leaving well enough alone, I added my own hydra-headed musings on what’s funny and why. And not having enough sense to quit when I’m behind, I now return to the episode to bravely bloviate on.

“SURPRISE!!! PARTY + ZINE RELEASE”
Booklyn Artists Alliance, 37 Greenpoint Ave., Brooklyn, NY (4th Fl)
SURPRISE!!! is a recurring, roving performance project, created in 2009 by artists Aaron Wojack and Calder Zwicky. Each SURPRISE!!! event is a site-specific occurrence, taking place in vastly different environments including art galleries, boats, tents, and more. Coinciding with the performance event will be a retrospective group exhibition featuring three years of photography, ephemera, and artwork by collaborators and zine contributors: Aaron Anderson, Gabe Dikel, Keith Mendak and Angelo Zwicky. In addition, they will be releasing two brand new issues of SURPRISE!!! Each performance is a catalyst for the next issue, so photographs from this event will be published in the next issue of SURPRISE!!! along with a new selection of guest artworks.
A big thanks to all our wonderful writers!
