BLVD is adding another art form to its repertoire: film. This Friday night, they're kicking off the Uniplex film series:

An evening of films by, about, and featuring the best of the Urban Contemporary art movement. Uniplex is an effort to bring a greater understanding to the general public of what has become the most influential global art movement of the 21st century, Urban/Street art . The first installment in the series features two short films, Fish Tales and Barnstormers 360, and the feature film Quality of Life.

Quality of Life is about two legendary graffiti artists from San Francisco's Mission District. "Barnstormers 360" is a time-lapse film documenting the disassembly, reassembly, and painting of a 1930s tobacco barn. And "Fish Tales" is about a quest for a skateable fish, something so cool that even Urban Dictionary can't help us decode what it is.

There used to be a time that, beyond our natural concern for all life, we could really give a gigantic crap about elephants. They're big - That's their defining characteristic. Whoop dee doo. There's a lot of big stuff in the world. Big stuff makes humans feel small which we tend to like. But in Bamboo's case we read a rare affecting guest editorial in the Tymes once that made us care and made him more than just big. We're not sure why Woodland Park is so set on keeping this fatass in a zoo when there's a perfectly good elephant sanctuary that's ready and willing to take him in. Of course, different people have different opinions on what's best for Bamboo, but 1 acre in a zoo where he's failed to play well with others in the past vs 2700 acres at a sanctuary seems pretty clear cut. Someone somewhere must have a dollar amount attached to Bamboo that they feel represents what he contributes to ticket sales in a year. Fucking bean counters, right? They'll be at the Woodland Park Zoo presiding over a fundraiser today which some people think is a great opportunity to go make some noise about Bamboo's proper home. Go join em, they're right. Check out "Free Bamboo."

Let's say you're on an airplane, sitting next to someone completely unfamiliar with Pop Surrealism or Lowbrow, but who's curious about what you do. Without using any visual aids, how do you explain the movements to her -- in such a way that the Lowbrow fan sitting across the aisle learns something, too?
