Mekong river

Fireballs (moderator's note: date may be approximate)

As the full moon crests the horizon, ruby orbs of light begin to rise out of the Mekong River. As if by magic, they float silently into the air and then evaporate in the inky blackness, a phenomenon that awes and delights observers privileged to have seen them.

For centuries, their existence was a closely-held secret among villagers living near the area. Then, the miraculous event was discovered by outsiders who now flock to the riverbanks each October full moon night in enormous numbers.

The silence of the fireballs' ascent is emblematic of the mystery of their origins beneath the murky Mekong.

Balls of light are observable from time to time rising from the water's surface in the stretch of the river near Vientiane or Nong Khai. These are sometimes referred to as Naga fireballs. The locals attribute the phenomenon to Phaya Naga, Mekong Dragons.

False Aristocracy Presents 2nd Annual Art Show: "Possession"

A highly conceptual, multimedia and performance, installation heavy, group art show with reactionary pieces based on the film Possession [1981] by Andrzej Zulawski. The synopsis of the show alone is enough to confound any audience.

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2010 -- The second of what False Aristocracy hopes will become a famed succession of high concept group art show receptions is taking place on January 15th, at what some consider to an underground yet avant-garde venue in Bushwick, Brooklyn called House of Yes [HouseofYes.org]. Event is scheduled to start at 8pm and until we kick you out.

'The Heights of Fashion: Platform Shoes Then and Now" spans more than 100 years of platform shoes. Ranging from the delicate "lotus bud shoes" of the 19th century China designed to emphasize women's tiny bound feet to the chunky Goth platforms of the 108-s, the shoes on exhibit demonstrate how extreme variations on a style developed in response to different cultural philosophies and concepts of beauty.

Museum of Making Music, 5790 Armada Dr,

The exhibition presents rarely displayed examples of "firsts" in electrified instruments. Of special note are numerous examples of iconic electric guitars showing a cornucopia of design ideas for electric pickups, volume and tone controls, bridges, tailpieces and tremolo arms, as well as instrument shapes and the incorporation of new materials. These electric and electro-acoustic guitars are displayed alongside other "firsts" including an electric zither, banjos, violins, basses, keyboards, and amplifiers, thus demonstrating how the new technology was applied to many instrument families. In addition, the exhibition shows the development of electric pickup technology as well as the techniques for gaining control over sound and tone through amplification, recording, and special effects such as tremolo, reverb, and echo. By exploring the intersection of technology and music through the invention and diffusion of electric guitar, the exhibition shows how the desire to crank up the volume ultimately led to the cre
