I Heart WikiHow

wk1.jpg
WikiHow is one of my favorite daily website stops. I discovered it on my Google homepage a few months ago when I was up late working one night. The headline "How To Practice Airplane Etiquette" caught my attention, and some of the tips had me laughing at 2am, even though most of them are common sense.

Highlights from How To Practice Airplane Etiquette tips...

Don't get drunk during (or before) the flight. You may be having the time of your life, but your fellow passengers may not think so (there are airlines which don't allow any passengers on board suspected of being over the limit on alcohol consumption).


Do not make jokes about bombs or terrorism. The movies don't exaggerate, you really will be removed from a plane and possibly permanently banned from the airline over what you thought was a harmless and obvious joke.


Do not pack strong smelling foods (e.g. tuna sandwich) to eat on the plane.


Taking off your shoes generally will not be appreciated by your neighbors, but if you have to, it would be best to ask first. Removing one's shoes is generally accepted on trans-continental or other very long flights but always be respectful of others.

What's My Name? Chris Johanson

IMG_9914.JPG
Chris Johanson's solo exhibition "Totalities" opened at Deitch Projects last Thursday. It's a wild ride of tunnels, temples and space capsules. The psychedelic color experience paralyzed my camera taking skills during the opening, and you can check out more photos at Supertouch and Fecal Face. The show is up until October 18.
