THE CURATOR: Bunsen + Beaker = 2getha 2eva

POSTED: Tuesday, May 4, 2010, 6:52 PM


The esteemed Dr. Bunsen Honeydew	His BFF Beaker

Every Tuesday, Critical Mass pokes its head around the blog world so you don't have to. — Geekadelphia isn't afraid to let its smart flag soar. In this week's round-up of strange-but-true facts, there's a battery that can run on pee, the earth's oceans may have come from an asteroid and a civilization that predates the world's oldest by 5, 000 years will now require a rewrite of history. But the best thing is definitely Geekadelphia's nod to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker (who hopefully survived M.I.A.'s gingercide). — It can be hard to fully develop your "talent" in a cramped West Philly apartment. Luckily, as PW Style reminds us, the 40th Street artist-in-residency program offers free studio space to West Philly residents. You'll receive a whole year in exchange for a measly 80 hours of community outreach. Don't delay, as the deadline is May 10th. — The ladies of Philly's Grasshopper Boutique have their own blog where they post inspirational pics. I particularly like the recent ode to biker chicks, because, well, I'm too chicken to be one, but damn are they sexy sitting on those hogs. — Site-specific iPhone apps are my jam. So it's perfect that Philly's R5 Productions has just developed a free concert-lister. You can use it to search for shows, buy tickets and get directions and info for venues. The latter part is great for the summer time, when the all important "No shirt, no shoes, no problem?" question needs to be answered. — ArtBlog was there as Zoe Strauss' 10-year public art project, Under I-95, came to a close this weekend. Visitors purveyed Strauss last photos until 4 p.m., when buyers took their pieces off pillars with rips heard round the bloggy-world.

I dunno, I always thought Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker were Siegfried and Roy style lovers
