Reasons To Be Cheerful

#4 OMG!!! Fabled former bloggers Alec Soth and Christian Patterson are back! Best of all - due to an inexplicable shortage of new blog domains - the dynamic duo has arranged to rent space here on Hiding in Plain Sight, where they’ll be posting alongside the regrettably undynamic and possibly nonexistent George LeChat. Watch for them!

#5 Overworked: Jessica Dimmock. “If you haven't seen Jessica's work yet check out the show or pick up her book. You will be hard pressed not to be effected by the work,” says Amy Stein. Me, I'm almost always a sucker for colorful pictures of people doing dope, but if I see another post about The Ninth Floor I think I’m going to go out, rent a copy of High Art and get effected myself.

#6 Headline: "Tina Barney and Larry Sultan to Talk in Boston." As well they should. Think of the possibilities. Naked socialites! Park Avenue pornstars! A marriage made in heaven.

#7 Can't we all just get along? Apparently not. Talk about mud wrestling. (But go Mrs. B.)

#8 What’s become of Dear Leader? Rumor has it he accidentally locked himself out of his own blog when he changed the master password in the course of an unusually crazed shoot involving a wheelbarrow, a cornfield, and . . . Well, I’d better stop there.
