Regular readers may notice this week’s LOVIEE is lighter than usual. This is about what they’ll probably look like for a while. I’m putting the finishing touches on February’s monthly LOVIEE and it too will be lighter than usual. I’d say check the ongoing LOVIEE but it’s starting to show that it’s out of date.
I may even change the format entirely. I’m going to post another “verbiage” post in a couple of days once I get it all straightened out.

Ron Hoover: “A Retrospective”, Art Car Museum, 140 Heights, Wed-Sun 11am-6pm, free admission. Hoover’s art is known not just for being great art but for embodying his political activism.
