POETIC JUSTICE
In 1993, POETIC JUSTICE was the first movie I saw at the Drive-In. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, mainly because Janet Jackson was looking gorgeous with that whole hood chick, dookie braids, South Central appeal, and the great Tupac Shakur was starring. Joe Torry actually used to live right around the corner from me on Rowan. I relate to this movie on so many levels. I've been wanting to do this event for a year now, and it's finally time. The premise of POETIC JUSTICE is parallel to the movie script. Justice expressed herself through poetry, and Lucky put his energy in his music. We bring this element to life with a Live Poetry | Jam Session at 2847 Cherokee on the last Sunday of every month. Come and enjoy this experience if you are in St. Louis.

T.A.G POETRY | OIL CRISIS EXHIBIT | HOW I DREAM OF YOU EXHIBIT
October approaches and a lot of good things are underway. I'm excited about the things happening in my world and if you get the chance, check out some of these events that are created to lift your spirits and raise awareness to the things effecting the world we live in.
The "aha" moment for Katherine Bish was seeing an AP wirephoto of an oil-covered pelican in the Gulf of Mexico in the aftermath of the BP oil spill.
Motivated by her empathy for the animals and wondering how human beings would... look and feel if they were affected in the same way by this ecological disaster, Bish, a St. Louis food photographer, went into her studio. With the help of like-minded friends and acquaintances, she created a series of black and white photographs of humans covered with chocolate syrup to simulate the oil.
To further raise public awareness and to raise money to help the animal rescue, Bish arranged an exhibit of many of these photographs to be held at the Mad Art Gallery in St. Louis October 1st through October 31st. Profits from the admission fees will be donated to one or more of charities working in the Gulf from the Saint Louis Better Business Bureau's approved "Wise Giving Alliance" list.
Later, the exhibit will be posted on Bish's web site, www.oilcrisisproject.org along with the BBB's 'Wise Giving Alliance " list to encourage others to donate.
As word spread about Bish's photographs, the local Fox and NBC affiliated TV stations sent crews to document the project. She’s received reports that other photographers have set out to duplicate her process and images to raise awareness.
The Mad Art Gallery, a former St Louis City police station at the corner of 12th and Lynch Street in the Soulard neighborhood near the Anheuser-Busch brewery, will host Bish's exhibit with an opening night reception on Friday October 1st from 7 to 11pm. The cost of admission is a $10 donation. Music will be provided by The Dave Stone Trio and Violinist Tony Morales. Food and beverages will be provided by some of St. Louis’ most charitable establishments including The Pasta House Company and Atomic Cowboy. The event will be hosted by J. Kim Tucci, owner of the Pasta House Company.
Katherine Bish has been a professional photographer for 10 years. After moving to Saint Louis in 2002, she specialized in food photography along with her photojournalism, travel and wedding photography. Her clients include St Louis Magazine, The St. Post-Dispatch and The Pasta House Company Restaurants.
Images from the exhibit are available for publication in conjunction with any articles about the exhibit, and Mrs. Bish will be glad to be interviewed.
