AWESOME article about CultureSurfer.com
Thanks, Maria!
Riding the TUBE with CULTURE SURFER
Written by Maria Guadalupe Massey
Monday, 02 March 2009
Doing a lot of living in the brain these days, working at home while the two big kids are in school and the toddlers play, I greatly crave my connection to the creativity, excitement and underground connection to the St. Louis Art scene and the thriving international culture. I find through reading calendars, press releases, that I am able to explore the arts of our metro-area vicariously. I help keep the flame of creativity burning bright and stay in touch with creative friends and events through myspace bulletins from friends like Zed Naught, Chris King, the Way Out Club or St. Louis SLAM poetry, announcements from the Eugene B. Redmond Writers' Club or First Civilizations announcements from Ira Jones or e-mails from La Morena or the Angel Heavenly Breeze.
Still with all these wonderful venues for discovering and viewing the fabulousness of the Metro-Area, from the Mississippi Valley to the foothills of the Ozarks, I am so delighted when I discover something on the internet that helps me applaud and enjoy the creative world outside my own little sanctuary, have something wonderful to share and pass on to friends and a way to support it with my cyberspace clicks. So in case, you all haven't already found this wonderful cyberspace hangout, I highly recommend you visit CULTURE SURFER . com with the fabulous videographer Naomi Silver.
Just yesterday having joined her growing number of fans, I was able to prowl the St. Louis multi-cultural art scene and feel a vibrant part of it all. I caught interviews at this years Naughti Gras with artists Rich Brooks and Melissa Schramm while viewing his creation, a multi-color torso & tits bejeweled in glowing lights, and I could sense the vibrant energy of the crowd in the background. I also viewed one of Schramm's photographs of a lovely nude showing only the piercings she'd acquired at ChpTrx; the silver rings ran along her spine on both sides so that with drawstrings they created the effect of a corset on the skin.
Later I visited a Chinese New Year celebration "Dance on Clouds" for the year of the Ox, a fashion show called "The Plastics" from 2008, a Latin fashion show benefitting LA CLINICA, and a glass pull demonstration at 3rd Degree Art Factory. Silver also shared a short film with us by Romanian artist Balanescu "Luna Asleep" choreographed with haunting strings & bells to music by Yann Tiersen, "Amelie". Before my tour of St. Louis was over, I even got to meet Australian graffitti artists who while passing through St. Louis held an art show and had a few moments for a frank exchange with her about grafitti in the suburbs of Melbourne and a concert of sacred music from the Choir of the St. Louis Bosnian Islamic Center of South County, Ferhadija, Harun Mehmedinovic directing.
I know I barely rode the wave with Culture Surfer with these few offerings; as she has an archive of St. Louis footage covering celebrations from all over the metro area going back at least as far as 2007. I highly recommend you look her up on myspace or the web and follow her colorful coverage.

Why I haven't blogged in a while
Naomi and Charlotte at THE U, UMSL radio station
Why I haven't blogged in a while
Sorry it's been so long since I last blogged. My excuse is that I have been working, working, working on CultureSurfer since the middle of December when I lost my video players. I don't mean "lost" as in "Where did I put my keys?" but rather lost as in my video players that were free were about to cost $500 per month. Yikes! So I spent about 3 weeks doing tons of research looking for a comparable video player. Then, I had to spend two more weeks re-building CultureSurfer. And I'm still not happy with the video players. It turns out you can't embed or link to one specific video. Not cool! So I am considering redesigning the site (but I need free help from a tech person if you know anyone) to re-create CultureSurfer.And I'd like to host my own videos, in order to be free and clear of any video hosting sites. Those people irk me. And of course, we've been filming. A lot. So we're slowing it down a bit so I can deal with umpteen tech issues that I would like to resolve and I am busy working on a business plan. Ok, end of whining.
UMSL radio interview
I finally got some local media coverage!!! Charlotte gave me a great interview at the University of Missouri's radio station, The U, last Monday. We spent an hour talking about CultureSurfer, player a few of the videos, and chatting about the incredible talent we have here in St. Louis. I'll try to make the sound file available on CultureSurfer when I get a copy of it.
So in short, I will try to blog more. I'll try to give you more regular updates on how the site is going & what cool stuff we'll be filming in the future.
Additions/changes to the site
I've added both articles and movie reviews? Why? The site just seemed too image-heavy and that's not cool where Google is concerned. Google likes text to crawl in order to increase a site's visibility for people searching. Also, I personally love to write movie reviews since I watch 1-2 movies per week (that's my escape from reality), and I thought it would be nice for people to contribute articles on all of the various topics I cover. You'll be seeing articles from contributers soon. You're may also be noticing more photo galleries on the site because I've asked St. Louis galleries to send me pics of their openings.
I moved the cycling videos to their own site, STLbikegeek.com.
What we'll be filming next
To start with, there are so many art openings that I can't even believe it. So I'm sure in the next few weeks, we'll be filming one or two. But the big deal for March is Saint Louis Fashion Week. Jeff and I will be there along with Dan, our photographer, and a contributor who will be writing about some of the fashion. I can't wait to see what creations the various designers have come up with recently.
