Angsto The Clown says his piece!

Angsto the Clown was a controversial character who offerred maniacal rants and raves on public access chanel 21 about ten years ago (remember when we used to have FREE access public TV in Columbus? Why don't we have it now?). He now resides in LA, CA where he drives the famous, near famous and wannabe famous around in his hired limo. He also, on occasion, sends us musings/rants about what really bothers him. We don't always agree with him, but here is his latest:

"Ever check to see what port scan attempts are being made on your computer? Most folks don't even realize what a firewall does or if its actually operating and just blithely surf and send email. Most port attempts are just internet babble, advertisements being sent out and such. Some however are a bit more sinister. Take a recent scan that came from halhoupro1.halliburton.com, [64.154.26.250:9415] Now what is HALLIBURTON doing scanning my computer? Trying to update me on their stock options, none of which I hold? Dutifully telling me about their proud service to us in Iraq? [see their press statements link below] Or perhaps scanning the public to see who is badmouthing them or who has embarrassing information about Halliburton and subsidiaries on their computers. Its an easy hack to see EVERYTHING on someone's computer once you're past a flimsy firewall. Its just as easy to plant nasty trojan horses and viruses as well. Forgive me for being suspicious about a wonderful corporation like Halliburton, who's CEO made over a half billion dollars in salary last year alone, [one of Cheney's hunting buddies] and who are raking in BILLIONS in corporate profit after being a small, failed company in near bankruptcy before Cheney joined them and the Iraq invasion took place.

Another twisted port probe has been coming in droves to my firewall from the good Bishop and priests at baron.davenportdiocese.org, [63.74.149.12:13226 among other source DNS]. Harmless internet traffic? Until I went to the Diocese website and looked deeper it would seem so, hmm? There on the home page is the Bishop announcing his resignation above links that eventually take you to the Diocese declaring bankruptcy and their new sexual activity policies concerning raping children [in softer terms of course]. Yet another branch of my former Church [ a proud non-believer now due in large part to this kind of sinister evil] getting caught raping children and then protecting not the children but the RAPIST PRIESTS. They are no doubt declaring bankruptcy to protect their money and not their flock from the deluge of lawsuits that are sweeping the Church. Capitalize church and it refers to the corporate monster and not the expensive, grand buildings they use for ritual sacrifice to fleece the flock. Blood drinking and cannibalism you know.

Paranoia on my part or just curiosity and a bit of research that opens up all kinds of frightening and sinister doors? We are a doomed species, as I've said before. Forgive me my pessimism."

Howard Luken aka Angsto the Clown

Aaron Einhorn appears in McBeth produced by Rosebriar Shakespeare Company

My son Aaron, the actor, sent us the message below. He plays McDuff, and once again, gets to kill the play's protagonist. There are no heroes in MaczBeth! When he played Laertes in a local production of Hamlet, he also killed the hero in the final act.

What: Shakespeare's MacBeth, performed by Rosebriar Shakespeare Company

When: Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week (October 26-28) at
7:30, Sunday the 29th at 2:00 p.m.

Where: Historic Town Hall in Groveport, Ohio (a suburb on the east
side of Columbus)

Why you care: Well, it's Halloween weekend, in a theoretically cursed
location, covering Shakespeare's creepiest play. So it has that going
for it. It also includes Aaron Einhorn as a member of the cast,
playing the role of MacDuff.

How much is this thing going to cost me anyhow: Some of you are
students. You are in luck. A smaller number of you are seniors, and
are similarly in luck; tickets will only cost you $9. The rest of you
are stuck paying the higher price. But have no fear! That higher price
will still only set you back a whopping $11.

More details can be found at:
http://www.rosebriarshakespeare.com/ and at bladebrothers.com

(Apologies to anyone who gets this more than once. If you do, consider
yourself lucky to know me through more than one social grouping.)

Short North debuts "Hop-Art" at October Gallery Hop

The Short North Arts District launches the first in a series of "Hop-Art" installations at the October 7 Gallery Hop. Each month, a distinctly unique, interactive art experience will be spotlighted at Columbus' premier art celebration

The first installation will be the real-time creation of a 16 foot mural depicting "The Heart of the Short North." The highly visual piece will be created by artists from the Studios On High Gallery: Sandy Reddig, Jeff Shaw and Rhonda Bartoe Tucker. Other gallery members will pitch in throughout the night to assist with the ambitious undertaking. The mural will be a montage of images from the Short North… distinct architecture, arches, events, the hop crowd, the colors, the vibrancy. The 16' x 4' mural will be created with pastels on panels. The project begins at 4:00PM on Saturday, October 7 and is slated to conclude just five hours later at 9:00PM. It will be staged at the Gallery Hop's newly designated "Visitor's Center"... the open air courtyard directly in front of the Victorian Gate Condominiums at 663 N. High Street.

Visitors can meet the artists, watch the process as the mural comes to life, shop, dine and check back on the work's progress. At 10:00pm the intentionally-temporary installation will be "ceremoniously deinstalled!" In the tradition of sand paintings and sky writing, the art will exist for a fleeting moment, a vision to be experienced first hand by those attending the Hop.
