The Magic Lantern Show
The Magic Lantern Show is making its New York City debut. Conceived by Matthew J. Pagoaga in Tokyo, Japan as a locally based, completely live combination of a concert meets vintage talk show, the Magic Lantern Show aims to be a new fountainhead and launching point for new artists. Influenced heavily by the Dick Cavett show, the Magic Lantern Show could best be described as a lost vintage variety show, or perhaps more as a modern vaudeville performance. After finding success and a cult following in the midwest United States (as well as considerable write-ups and interviews in the press), the show has now moved to the Big Apple, and blends standard late night talk conventions with in-depth interviews. Vintage commercials are projected in between monologues and segments to accentuate the show's brand new, second hand feel. Hosted by Matthew J. Pagoaga, the Magic Lantern is both a refreshing throwback and a modern guiding light through the sea of new media. ... Also, it's kind of
funny.
This month's program takes place at the Mercury Lounge on March 27th at 9:30 pm, with several amazing guests in tow. Comedian Kevin Barnett will be on deck for a routine and interview, and musical guests Paul Owens and Jenn de la Vega of the Shortsleeves will wrap up the show, plus much more. Strange sights, foreign sounds, and a night of great entertainment await.

Life as a Superhero: An Investigation Into an Urban Subculture
Superheroes are on the rise. A real-life rash of caped crusaders has of late been seizing headlines from coast to coast with random acts of kindness. MeterMan works to charge expired parking meters just ahead of the predation of the meter maid in his native Los Angeles, while Phoenix Jones patrols the mean streets of Seattle on weekend nights, helping to defuse alcohol-fueled aggression. Closer to home, Brooklyn’s own Life, serves the needy by providing toothbrushes, fresh socks, and underwear, and healthful snacks and drinks to the Homeless of New York City. Join LIfe, who is also the co-founder of the networking site SuperHeroes Anonymous, for a look at the exploding world of real life superhero-dom.
Life (Chaim Lazaros) tirelessly and selflessly does the work of a superhero on behalf of Manhattan’s homeless population. Raised in the Jewish tradition of leaving the world a better place than the way he found it, Chaim was imbued at an early age with strong values of charity, courtesy and kindness, modeled for him by his Hassidic parents, who always gave to others, even when it was hard to do so. These values now find ready expression in the avatar of Life.

Party mavens James and JF have thought of everything. If you want fun, then listen to this. There’s going to be human arm candy for sale, a jail to lock up all your naughty friends, live cringe worthy diary readings, kissing opportunities, and surprise musical happenings. Just when the you think the fun is over, knock knock who’s there? It’s a massage, and it’s calling your name. Can you hear it?

Nonsense is too long. The great thing about the internet is that it doesn't really cost much to run long listings and exhaustive descriptions. It turns out that's ... exhausting. After several complaints and a little deliberation, we're trying a new format: On the first Friday of the month we will run updated ongoing listings in each section: events, learning, and help. Other weeks we're going for leaner, meaner sections. If you're desperate for something to do on an off-Tuesday night we suggest you either look back a few issues ago in your inbox, or poke through our online archives, which you can find under the subscribe page.
Also, a note about better rock shows. Nonsense does not straight list rock shows in New York unless they occur in tandem with puppet shows or jump rope tournaments or in subway tunnels or in graveyards. For listings of good shows, especially shows that feature independent bands at quality venues like Death by Audio and those booked by hard-working promoters like Todd P or Sleep When Dead, consult resources like ohmyrockness.com, brooklynvegan.com/, sleepwhendeadnyc.com/calendar/, garagepunknyc.com, and eardrumnyc.com. For the most exhaustive list of underground shows at unusual venues, track down a copy of the extremely useful -- and handsome -- Showpaper.

Somebody wins. Use all of your most creative intellectual prowess or borrow some to construct a verifiable scientific experiment which includes one experimental variable following the scientific method or just make a diorama full of dinosaurs (not everybody has to win). Plan for May 15 at the Gowanus Ballroom. Need a project? We'll give you one! Need a partner? We'll get you somebody! Groups up to four people may be a good idea. Declare your intent, fellow fun-ists.

* The School of Making Thinking is looking for interested artist/thinkers to join our experimental school/residency program this June in the Catskills. SMT is about exploring the cross-pollination of art-making and thinking. How can art-making involve more explicit question-asking and produce more than just wall texts? How can thinking involve more experiential and experimental practices besides papers and lectures? The program will be focused around an individual project you would like to work on that explores the above connections/questions. We will then explore various collaborative structures/experiences to build upon our projects. The residency is quite affordable, we have ten acres of land upstate and it will be quite small (10-12 people). If this interests you, apply to join us this June. Applications due April 1. See: theschoolofmakingthinking.com.
* The L Magazine presents: The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Film Competition, Northside Festival's first juried screening series.

* Flux Factory’s Summer School is a new program that leverages the immense knowledge within the Flux community to engage the public in learning, making, and collaboration. Taking cues from the Pubic School, Trade School, Going Places (Doing Stuff), and DIY skill shares, Summer School will be structured as a series of learning experiences open to everyone. Classes will be varied in topic, breadth and depth, reflecting the diversity of knowledge within the Flux community, which is to say - massively diverse. Teachers will be paid for their knowledge and labor, students will learn and thrive, and in classes where it makes sense, we will drink beer. Some dream classes might be: How to Build a Silk Screening Studio, Ladies Basic Bike Mechanics, Advanced Swing Dancing: Throws, Lifts, and Rolls, Fermentation 101: Beer, Kombucha, and Yogurt, Bee Keeping in NYC. We are just getting started - over the course of the next two weeks, we hope to hear from prospective teachers for this pr
ogram. If you are interested in teaching a class this summer, please tell us about it, and please feel free to forward this to anyone who may be interested. Applications must be in by April 15. If you have any questions, comments, or burning desires -- contact Gabriel Cohen at info(at)fluxfactory.org.

* Rooms available in communal house (Bed-Stuy) at Pulaski at Tompkins. For long or short term in a large beautiful Bed-Stuy Brownstone. Currently we have two rooms available in an eight bedroom home. The prices range from $450 to $650 per room. Good natural light, every room has at least one or two windows and none are a railroad (walk through) style. Original moldings throughout the house. The house also has a huge living room (suitable for organized social events and gatherings) and kitchen / dining room. There is a backyard garden. We have wi-fi and a land line phone. We are very communal, looking for someone vegetarian and freegan friendly and someone that is comfortable with us hosting houseguests -- your friends are welcome too! We often cook together and hang out, and prefer to find someone interested in participating etc. Close to Myrtle-Willoughby subway stop G line and not too far from the JMZ trains (though we primarily ride bikes.) Currently all housemates are bet
ween 25-33 years old, mostly ladies. You will need to pay one month's rent as a security deposit, utilities not included. We are seeking an easy-going, laid back clean housemate and it would be great if when you are home you do more than sleep and stay in your bedroom, but are interested in being part of a household and engage with your housemates. We are the kind of household where people would put on a sweater before turning up the heat in the winter and plug in a fan rather than an air conditioner in the summer. We have a house meeting about once per month and hope all can participate. This is a non-smoking house. We plan to soon have free communal laundry in the house. Are you an activist, community organizer, writer, artist, backyard gardener, none of the above? Do you experience living with a large number of people? Please tell us about yourself why you may be a good fit! Sending us a link to your facebook page in addition to the rest would be appreciated. Contact walwo

XXXXX SPECTRE PRIORITY XXXXX
Before we had a name, the Spectre Event Horizon Group used to meet at a bar to commiserate and trade what our business friends like to call best practices. The group has expanded since then, but it remains focused on smartening the crowd mind. There are no subject limits; our favorite is the incredible sci-fi present, or anything that goes toward a better understanding of human behavior and our universe's ecology. Our simple intent is to connect good minds with as much quality mind-blowing information as we can freely locate and create a space for the informal trade of specialized investigative research, presented for the non-specialist.
The Spectre email list, which is a separate group from this column, is a moderated open forum. People are encouraged to join and to post. The list is compiled for Nonsense by J. Sinopoli. Contact us at spectre.event.horizon.group gmail com or spectregroup.org / spectrevision.org. Here's some of what came in this week:
***** Folk Models of Home Computer Security *****
spectregroup.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/folk-models-of-home-computer-security/
"In the past, computers were targeted by hackers approximately in proportion to the amount of value stored on them or accessible from them. Computers that stored valuable information, such as bank computers, were a common target, while home computers were fairly innocuous. Recently, attackers have used a technique known as a 'botnet,' where they hack into a number of computers and install special 'control' software on those computers. The hacker can give a master control computer a single command, and it will be carried out by all of the compromised computers (called zombies) it is connected to. Observed botnets range in size from a couple hundred zombies to 50,000 or more zombies. Since any computer with an Internet connection will be an effective zombie, hackers have logically turned to attacking the most vulnerable population: home computers.
Understanding the folk models that home computer users employ in making security decisions sheds light on why botnets are so successful. Modern botnet software seems designed to take advantage of gaps and security weaknesses in multiple folk models. Botnets are extremely cleverly designed. The only fact that a decent number of my respondents would recognize as a property of botnet attacks is that they don't cause harm to the host computer. And not everyone in the study would believe this; some respondents had a mental model where not harming the computer wouldn't make sense. Since home computer users do not see this as a potential threat, they do not take appropriate steps to protect themselves. Without an understanding of threats, home computer users intentionally choose to ignore advice that they don't believe will help them."
XXXXX LEARNING XXXXX
We look for the sort of classes you circled in college course catalogs but never managed to fit into your schedule. And we also look for the kind of things that no college could teach. Cheap and eclectic is the rule, though all rules get broken occasionally, and we especially love workshops, round-tables, and teachers who won’t take your work out of
your hands and show you how to do it right. One-time listings are categorized weekly, with general recurring classes listed at the end on the first Friday of each month We thrive on your suggestions, so make sure to tell us about upcoming classes that you think are nifty-keen.
Learning is compiled and edited weekly by Libby Sentz. Send listing suggestions to libby(at)nonsensenyc.com.

Utopian Strategies: Artists Anticipate Their Audiences
Artists are increasingly engaged in dialogues about how artworks, performances, interventions, and events relate to their audiences and how their audiences interact with their work. In this intimate conversation with Janine Antoni, Ernesto Pujol, and Paul Ramirez Jonas, all of whom engage the public sphere in different and unique ways, writer and Dean of Columbia University School of the Arts Carol Becker will ask these artists to discuss their practiceâ€"what influences their endeavors, what is their thinking before they begin to make the work, what do they imagine their audiences will experience as they participate, where does the work end, and what micro-utopian moments do they hope to spark in the intentional and unintentional communities the work creates?

Buddhist Studies: Working With Fear
What is Fear? How does it paralyze us? How can we work with it skillfully? Is it possible not to experience fear at all? Or is it something we are stuck with and have to change our relationship to?
Open to people of any experience level with Buddhist Meditation, this course will use Buddhist Psychology and Philosophy from contemporary and ancient sources to convey an overview of how the dharma teaches us to work with this difficult reaction. We will look at the full range of tools and meditations offered for reducing the harm to self and other caused by fear, transforming its energy into positivity, as well as the radically empowering notion that perhaps fear is not something to fight against at all, but instead is "a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth."

XXXXX HELP XXXXX
It is a wonderful thing, to help. Helping strengthens communities and allows you to meet new friends. With that in mind, we look for one-day volunteer opportunities with no long-term commitment required. We want to be open to fresh ideas and think of help in a broad way. These listings could include anything from a large-scale day-long service project to a local theatre company that needs volunteers for load-in; from an artist looking for film extras to a community garden that needs a few extra hands. Our goal is simply to help groups or individuals that serve the greater good in small but significant ways. Unique and interesting job opportunities are acceptable fare for this section as well. Looking for ways to help out? Need volunteers to get your own community project off the ground? Know of any existing opportunities? Send your requests to MeeO at meeo(at)nonsensenyc.com.

Childcare for the NYC Anarchist Book Fair
That time of year again and we're reaching out for childcare volunteers for the NYC Anarchist Book Fair, April 8-10. As the general awareness of the needs of parents and children is growing in the community, we've had more kids and parents checking out the space. For moms and dads there will be a radical parents caucus, and also in the mix is an exciting lineup of kids workshops from the likes of Spiritchild, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and Panoply Performance Laboratory, among others who have been kind enough to lend us their time and skills. Hopefully with nice weather and enough childcare providers, we'll be able to have playground excursions and other activities outside. Tentative times for childcare are Saturday 12-6, Sunday 2:30-6:30, Friday depending on RSVPs, (subject to change depending on the schedule and needs) which are still being worked out. Check the website for updates.
Please forward to anyone who may be interested, and if you'd like to help out or have questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to get in touch.
