@fmopa @shanebrownsocialmedium @tulsaartistfellowship @sterlinharjo @rezdogsfx @ To all my Tampa friends and family, I was looking forward to attending the opening reception and artist talk for the dual exhibitions I curated In The Territories and Reservation Dogs by Cherokee and Tulsa-based photographer Shane Brown. They were set to open this Friday. Unfortunately, mother nature and Ian says otherwise. The exhibition should be up next week! As for the artist talk and reception, they will have to be rescheduled. I will keep you posted! Stay safe! #kaluplinzy #shanebrown #intheterritories #reservationdogs #fmopa #floridamuseumofphotographicarts #tampaflorida #Tampa #hurricaneian #2022tulsaartistfellow #2022tulsaartistfellowship (at Florida Museum of Photographic Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci_IxUws_Kr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

・・・ #healing ・・・ #zoblastartistspotlight🚨🎵🔥 #TarrusRiley’s forthcoming studio album #Healing, as a whole, is wonderfully orchestrated and stays true to his #rootsy #reggae appeal. The album is an effortless and inspiring collection as it delivers heartwarming and uplifting messages about spreading positivity. An impressive body of work, the album focuses on the uncertain times that we are living in, especially due to the outbreak of Covid 19; he however offers hope, because we have to move on and we most certainly have to heal. The bountiful 12-track release features support from a multitude of impactful stars, including Shenseea, Konshens, Dexta Daps, Teejay, Rvssian and legendary sax man Dean Fraser. Healing is produced by noted Jamaican studio wizard @jukeboxxjamaica #ShaneBrown @cannonfraser #deanfraser along with @tarrusrileyja himself. The title track, also the album’s lead single, was released on June 19th while the album will be released tomorrow #Aug28 🖤✨🎶 (at Zojak World Wide) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZzfFpBUXh/?igshid=1umwss824ysfq

This thrill avoider had fun at fair

This thrill avoider had fun at fair

Did you see “The Late Late Show” last week, when my favorite shiny-veneered super-villain, Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, convinced talk-show host James Corden to join him in a skydiving adventure?

I couldn’t help but wonder what I would do in the same situation. While it’s true that I’ve often yearned to see Tom Cruise take a flying leap, I wouldn’t ever opt to join him.

Some people are thrill seekers. I’m more of a thrill avoider. Occasionally newspaper columnists get chances to do cool stuff like climb construction projects or fly with the Blue Angels. Those are amazing opportunities, to which I would say: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.”

You might have your own definition of the word “thrilling.” My version goes like this: “Ooh, my Amazon order arrived a day earlier than expected. How thrilling!” “This DVD has an extra commentary track? Thrilling!” “McRib is back? I’m thrilled!”

So why, then, did a self-confessed thrill avoider recently find himself walking through the gates of our area’s weeklong home for cheap thrills? For the first time in 25 years, why would I purposely go to the place where stomachs churn, hearts burn, and the agonizing screams of the tortured fill the night sky?

I’m not sure, really, other than the fact that I was influenced by the monthlong airing of an ad that assured me: “Everybody’s gonna be there … the great Mississippi Valley Fair!” The jingle lies, people. “Everybody” was not there. I wandered around the entire fairgrounds, and I can assure you from firsthand experience that Katie Holmes was not there. I checked.

But yes, I did it. I went. I saw. I ate funnel cake.

I’m not going to take any cheap shots at fairgoers. That’s lazy journalism, and it’s dead wrong. I saw people of all walks of life. I will say that I felt somewhat in the minority because the clothes I opted to wear that evening included sleeves. But hey, if you have a side-body that you’re not afraid to show to countless strangers, go for it.

Sleeves aside, the fair unites us all with one common cause: To eat horribly unhealthy food and then try not to vomit it up while strapped to mechanical torture devices.

I may have approached the midway with the wrong mindset. I distinctly remember thinking to myself, “I ate a big lunch today. All I really need is something light to nibble on.” I should have realized that “something light” doesn’t exist at a fair — and if it did, someone would find a way to throw it in a deep fryer and cover it in powdered sugar.

I saw a vendor offering something called “Chicken on a Stick,” which seemed like a nice little thing to snack on. Then he handed me — with TWO hands, I might add — what appeared to be 70 percent to 80 percent of a whole chicken, deep-fried to hell and back, attached to a popsicle stick that was clearly for ornamental purposes only. Fair food is not for amateurs.

I loved it all. There were angry-looking tigers, friendly-looking wolves, high-diving pirates, giant robots, and countless exciting ways to separate me from the contents of my wallet. At the far end of the midway, there was a wonderful exhibit devoted entirely to horse poop. Well, and the horses that made it, I suppose. But if I had to guess based on smell alone, I’d say the poop was the real star of the show.

In all honesty, I was there for one reason and one reason only: to spend some quality time in a stable full of goats. I love goats, and I simply don’t have enough of them in my life. In the grand agricultural animal kingdom, goats are far and away the best — mostly because I don’t understand them.

They’re strange creatures that look like the result of an unholy tryst between a bull terrier and the aliens at the end of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” I’m not quite sure why anyone keeps goats, unless you’re looking for a less efficient source of milk, a less efficient garbage disposal, or a less efficient lawn mower. Still, I love them to pieces.

After visiting the goats, I checked out the rides, but I wisely left those to a younger generation. Once upon a Shane, I greatly enjoyed the Tilt-A-Whirl and the Scrambler, but recently I was at a park with some friends and felt my stomach drop out while I was on a simple playground swing, so I think my whirling and scrambling days are behind me.

As for the crazier rides that take you upside down and round and round, I truly think the only reason one willingly goes on those is to test courage, challenge gag reflexes, or respond to a dreaded double-dog dare.

The crown jewel of this year’s show appeared to be a flashing mini-rave of a ride called “GENESIS,” where riders were strapped in to be hurled violently in sideways circles. And speaking of hurling, the only guy who looked more miserable than the riders was the poor soul tasked with cleaning up the after-effects with a spray bottle and a roll of paper towels.

All told, I had a pretty fair time at the fair. I might be too chicken for the rides, but I wasn’t too chicken for chicken-on-a-stick. Plus I got to pet a goat, and hey, it was pretty thrilling. Maybe I’ll go again in another 25 years. I double-dog dare myself.
