This exhibition focuses on the progression of the depiction of the nude throughout history, and from what I can tell it looks so awe inspiring, and beautiful. From classic artists such as Gaudenzio Marconi, to Chuck Close it's all there! and guess what? they're nudes (male and female)!

Description

Yes, it is a Party to Benefit the future commuters of UC San Diego.

If you disagree with paying more money for parking permits, then come.
If you like alternative transportation, then come.

Transportation and Parking Services just published a report that calls for the need to accommodate the growing number of students coming to UCSD in the next 5 years. Their solutions to this problem are as follows:
1. Restrictions on parking
2. Build another parking structure- Just proposed!!!
3. Expand alternative transportation options

Each of these solutions will have an impact on students next year and in the future. 

1. Restrictions might be targeted towards residents... so that means allowing only a few residents to park on campus. 
2. Creating a parking structure, which the Transportation Policy Committee will be voting on on Feb. 6th, means a 4-10% annual increase on permit fees until 2013 starting next year. So you may be looking at paying $1,089 a year just to park! NON-GRADUATING STUDENTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS!
3. Regional bus pass and trolley coming into UCSD are likely future expansions of alternative transportation. Which may come with a student fee, but may not be as big of a student fee as having another parking structure.

Therefore, we are hosting this forum/social in order to inform everyone that building a new parking structure is NOT the way to solve this problem.

This event is open to all... you do not need to be a commuter or over 21 to attend. Just interested in the topics of your money and the future of UCSD... oh yea and FREE FOOD :)

WEDNESDAY, January 23rd

make your voice heard! say no, to $900.00 parking permits!

mura-mura-MURAKAMI

For those of you who are familiar with the luxe brand Louis Vuitton, then I'm sure that you have been been exposed to one aspect of Takashi Murakami's work. This guy is straight legit and has had collabs. with many top luxe corporations and artists alike. Heres some more info from MOCA's website: 

One of the most internationally acclaimed artists to emerge from Asia in the postwar era, Takashi Murakami effortlessly navigates between the worlds of fine art and popular culture and is best known for his cartoon-like, “superflat” style. This major traveling retrospective includes key selections spanning the artist’s career, from the early 1990s to the present. More than 90 works in various media—painting, sculpture, installation, and film—are installed in five sections, occupying over 35,000 square feet of exhibition space. The first portion features many of Murakami’s acclaimed large-scale otaku-inspired sculptural figures from the late 1990s. The second section comprises a grid-like shelving display of Murakami’s merchandise. A fully operational Louis Vuitton boutique, showcasing the artist’s collaboration with the designer brand, is on the mezzanine level. The largest portion of the exhibition traces Murakami’s artistic development, including early works that engage branding and the evolution of his signature character, DOB. Of particular importance, is the debut of Oval Buddha, an enormous self-portrait sculpture in the guise of a Buddha, and the premiere of part one of the artist’s first major animated film, kaikai & kiki. New installments of kaikai & kiki will continue at the exhibition tour venues. 

© MURAKAMI is organized by MOCA Chief Curator Paul Schimmel with Project Coordinator Mika Yoshitake.

And with images like these that are reminiscent of a youthful age that has past, and inspiringly hopeful for new genres of contemporary art. Murakami's exhibit at the M.O.C.A. in L.A. is worth a visit!

The exhibit only lasts until February 11, and includes a full section devoted to the Louis Vuitton handbags that he created for the brand. Contemporary, luxe, and charmingly beautiful. What more could you ask for?

mustache dance!

So it seems as if AS Programming is putting on yet another legitimate event called the MUSTACHE DANCE!!! It looks pretty promising, and the inclusion of indie/disco/electro/80s/new wave music in the mix seems to be exactly what UCSD needs! Heres the 411: 

AS Programming presents a new themed dance affair:
MUSTACHE DANCE! Grow/draw/tape on a mustache and get ready to boogie.

Featuring DJ Milton Milhouse III Inc, spinning indie, disco, electro, trance, and hip hop. 

Thursday, January 24

Pub After Dark: Dave Elkins, of Mae

For all those teenage kids that listened to Mae in High School/Jr. High, (secret: on occasion I still do too) Dave Elkins, of Mae is playing at Pub After Dark!

Heres all the info:

Name:	Pub After Dark : Dave Elkins of Mae
	With, We Shot The Moon and The Envy Corps
Host:	UCEN Marketing and Graphics
Type:	Music/Arts - Concert

Time and Place

Date:	Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Time:	7:30pm - 11:00pm
Location:	The Stage At Porter's Pub
City/Town:	La Jolla

This concert is open to UCSD STUDENTS WITH A VALID ID PLUS ONE GUEST 18 YEARS OR OLDER.

After finishing their fall tour with Motion City Soundtrack, Dave Elkins, the lead singer of Mae could not be more excited to play an intimate, acoustic show at UCSD. He WILL PLAY ALL OF YOUR FAVORITE MAE SONGS FROM DESTINATION : BEAUTIFUL, THE EVERGLOW, and SINGULARITY

Mae, or Mulitsensory Aesthetic Experience, hales all the way from Virginia. The bands started originally as the combined efforts of Dave and Jacob Marshall, the drummer. Over time, the two picked up guitarist Zach Gehring, Bassist Mark Padgett, and Keyboardist Rob Sweitzer.

Drawing influences from classic rock bands such as U2, Mae released their first album, Destination: Beautiful in February of 2003. Immediately upon the drop of this album, the group began to receive many national touring opportunities from alternative rock royalty such as The Foo Fighters, Weezer, and most recently, The Fray and OKGo. The Spring 2005 of the band’s second full length lp entitled The Everglow truly lived up to the bands name when they included an insert that had art meant to accompany each song. Today, the combined album sales from the first two albums reach nearly half a million units sold.

The bands most recent release, Singularity, dares its listeners to crank up the volume to more dynamic original tracks that boasts the band’s new found maturity while not loosing sight of their synthesizer inspired roots. Coming in on the Billboard Top 200’s Top 50 cds in the country, Singularity will truly capture the ears and hearts of all who listen.

Don’t forget to come check out Dave Elkins of Mae on Tuesday, January 15th at 7:30 PM in The Stage At Porters Pub! As always, this show is free to UCSD students, but arrive early because space is extremely limited.

Also, Come early to check out We Shot The Moon (members of Waking Ashland and Sherwood) and The Envy Corps who sound a lot like modest mouse.

As always, this show is free and open to UCSD students and thier guests. Arrive early, space is extremely limited!

......

So don't pretend like you have something better to do on a Tuesday night, because this shit is free and pretty cool. So go! go! go!

A new year, and a new start

Now that first week shenanigans are over and done with... it's time to face reality. It's WINTER QUARTER, and I already have about 200 pages to read for my classes. And being the procrastinator I am, I'm here posting the first post on this new blog!

This blog, is a means for Revelle College, and UCSD commuters in general, to access information about on and off campus events that pertain to you. Being art/music/fashion obsessed, this blog isn't going to pertain to places and things only affiliated with UCSD, but things/events that are, in my terms, extremely "LEGIT". And for those of you not familiar with this term, urbandictionary.com defines it as:

2.	legit	177 up, 27 down
	1. (adj.) A modern synonym for words such as "cool," "ill," "tight," or "dope." Used to describe a noun that is of a particularly excellent quality. The slang use of this term is slowly but steadily increasing in popularity. 2. (adj.) Authentic. see legitimate. 1. Damn, who made this beat? DJ Premier? This shit is legit! 2. I fucking told you those Bapes weren't legit. There goes $180.

so there you go. Come to this site for the best of what Revelle College Council/Organizations have planned for you, ANNNND what the greater Southern California area has to offfer. Concerts, raves, art shows, sample sales, restaurants... basically, EVERYTHING COOL. You wont be disappointed, I guarantee it.

And for you transfers out there, WELCOME! And note that Connie Avina, our resident Transfer Representative will be updating you guys with events that apply specifically to you. Heres to good times, good parties, and good friends.

Cheers and thanks for reading,
