Kirsten Anderson, owner of Roq La Rue and all-around supreme being, is lecturing on Pop Surealism and the rise of tonight at the Seattle Academy of Fine Art. Lectures are what made me drop out of school, you say. But this lecture is about Lowbrow art which you love, we respond. Pop art is for freaks and the Academy of Fine Art is not the right venue to talk about it, you say. "The movement is now getting grudging, if bewildered, respect from the 'High Art World,' and while it remains slightly vilified, is voraciously collected by forward-thinking collectors," the Academy says. I'm deaf, you say, what good is a kick ass lecture going to do me? There are slides, we say.

Local hater Pete Bagge drew a little comic strip last year for the anarcho-fascist propoganda outlet Reason Magazine that heaped scorn and ridcule on the innocent men, women and children of the art world. Now, one year later, Bagge's karma comes back to bite him in the ass with an art world style exhibition of that very same comic. Will the hypocrisy blow Bagge's mind? Will it be as bad as that one scene in the Star Wars movie where Luke Skywalker cuts off Darth Vader's head only to see behind the mask... his own face!?
