Basix is hosted by BBoy Craig on the last Saturday of every month. This month's special guest DJs are CapsMutherFukinOne & DJ Dirty Hands. If you never have seen them try and make it out. Three turntables, lots of old school hits, and no Serato. They will make you dance, even with your two left feet
GOOD NEWS…JetSet Graffiti has confirmed through a business partner of Banksy’s that it was the infamous Doug Christmas of Ace Gallery in Los Angeles that organized the removal and impending unauthorized sale of the artwork.
Famous for treating his bills as if they didn’t exist; Since 1976, Christmas has been sued 55 times by artists, other dealers and art collectors, according to a profile in 2009 in the LA Weekly.
Our take on this mess? Glad you asked:
“Do NOT support this sale; the artist never confirmed the work was his, and the piece is now considered counterfeit. Look, if these wealthy gallerists and collectors are going to try and use an artist’s hard work to make money, they will do it on his terms, not off his back. It makes sense for the artist to distance himself from the work now. Banksy never confirmed it was his to begin with, so Ace Gallery and every other greedy art-star fucker can piss off. The irony of it all is that the boys who play the “art is exclusive” BS game so well are now being pushed out by their own rules of engagement so they have to resort to “stealing” the work. They can own the art all they want; but they’ll never own the street.” -Daniel Lahoda, Owner, www.jetsetgraffiti.com

6pm – 12 am
Aerosol Warfare Gallery 2110 Jefferson, # 113
The “American Women” show will be donating funds raised by its silent auction to the Houston Area Women’s Center.
Audio engineering company GGRP Sound has created a cardboard envelope that transforms into a record player. Once assembled, a 45 rpm record can be spun on it using a pencil. The vibrations travel through a needle which is embedded in one of the box’s edges and are amplified in the cardboard material. These players were sent out to creative directors as part of a promotion for GGRP.
