It’s from the P-pit show, night. Also, I’m thinking about abandoning Facebook. Not for any sort of noble reason (afraid of privacy issues, etc..). Mostly just so that I’m not tempted to waste time browsing it. I’m still deliberating.

So, break out the coasters.

Nothing new or novel here. I’m sure that everyone has heard this song at least 1000 times. But, hey– it is summer. “Doin Time” is such a classic mellow warm-weather song. I couldn’t think of anything more fitting for tonight. Press play.

Haas and Hahn have teamed up to work under the moniker “Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn.” Their latest project is to bring a little color to the infamous favelas of Rio de Janeiro. I love Brazil. I love Rio. I can’t wait to get back there and check this out (from a distance, hehe).  Graffart.eu describes the work as:

Over the last month, Praça Cantão, the square at the entrance of the community of Santa Marta has been the scene of a spectacular art intervention and was turned into a vibrant artwork of monumental scale. 34 houses on the giant hillside favela, located in the center of Rio de Janeiro, have been painted in a design of colorful rays, radiating into the city. This 7000 square meter artwork is part of the ‘Favela Painting’ project by Haas&Hahn (Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn), a project that aims to transform communities into landmarks and inspirational monuments as a part of Rio’s image, next to the statue of Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf mountain.
