Tom Keating will be displaying work at the Press Club on 25th and Clinton through the month of May. Although the piece above will not be there, many paintings of the same style will. The Press Club invites you to come out tonight from 7 to 10 pm. Check out Tom's drawings set to animation.

Just a quick post here on a huge night of live action, touring and otherwise. First, the big show of the night is probably The Hold Steady and The Drive-By Truckers teaming up at the Crystal Ballroom for the Rock & Roll Means Well Tour. Needless to say, the duo, while disparate geography (less so in style) both "bring it," as they say, and it seems a night tailor-made for an on-stage collaboration straight from the place these acts meet up: vintage Springsteen (more on him later).

I'm thinking of seeing a concert tonight at a place on Clinton called the Press Club but I've never been there nor even heard of it before.  Has anyone here ever been there before?  What's it like if you have?  Just curious.  

The vile and hateful John Hagee is not running for president - John McCain is. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is not running for president - Barack Obama is. When John McCain tried to distance himself from John Hagee that was the end of it. But as Bob Herbert and Andrew Sullivan explain when Barack Obama tried to distance himself from Wright the corporate media, Reverend Wright himself or the Clinton Campaign will allow him to do so. And now we have this from Thom Hartmann - It was a Hillary Clinton supporter who arranged for for Rev Wright's appearance at the Press Club.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday vowed to press on with legislation to provide health insurance to his state's uninsured, a day after a universal health care bill he backed died in a Senate committee. Lawmakers who voted against the bill missed a golden opportunity for California to demonstrate to the rest of the United States how to establish a universal health care system, Schwarzenegger said in a speech to the press club of the state capital of Sacramento.
