Modest Mouse, Shins, Decemberists Swag in Art Auction
Buckman Elementary School, an arts magnet school in Portland's public system, is rife with the cool, artsy kids. And these cool, artsy kids-- along with some high-profile, indie rock favorites-- have donated some items to be auctioned in benefit of the school; they're no mere pinch-pot ashtray castoffs, either. In addition to a fly-fishing trip and jaunts to the Sonoma wine country, a series of hand-decorated mini-guitars and other swag from the likes of the Decemberists and Carson Ellis, Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock, the Shins, Stephen Malkmus and newest Jick Janet Weiss, Sam Coombs of Quasi, and the Dandy Warhols will go up for the good cause. The Art Rocks auction takes place in two parts: the first-- organized by Sleater-Kinney pillar and Buckman parent Corin Tucker-- goes down web-ways April 22, when online bidders can stake their claim on those hand-decorated mini-guitars via eBay (keyword: Buckman).
Senator urges deeper review of CSAR bids
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he fears the Air Force is merely going through the motions in its required review of the combat search-and-rescue helicopter award and is pressing the military branch to "open up the books" on the flawed bidding process. Schumer's bid comes after Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, joined the ranks of public officials questioning the Air Force's earnestness of the required Air Force review. "I strongly believe that the Air Force should use this opportunity to determine if the industry can offer improved proposals within the same time frame that will provide additional value for the taxpayer," Schumer said in the statement released Monday. "I again urge the Air Force to issue an amended request for proposal, re-open discussions with the bidders, request revised proposals, and hold a fair and open-re-evaluation." The Air Force in November awarded the contract to The Boeing Co.
'Action Auction' Retro
Where else could you see your neighbors on TV - some looking good; others, well, maybe acting a little foolish. There were sports and broadcast celebrities outside their natural habitats. They, too, ranged from looking slick to silly. It has never been especially great TV. But no one seems to mind. It is quaint and homey. And there were always bargains to be found. WCET-TV (Channel 48), the first public TV station in America, granted a license in 1954, celebrates the 40th anniversary of its "Action Auction" this week when the watch-bid-and-buy fest airs Wednesday-Saturday. "I think it might have been the first reality show," says Grace Hill, CET program director, who has been there for all of the auctions having started at the station as a receptionist in 1962. "The thing I remember most is that everyone in the community supported it.
