Little bit of tinkering aka Tinkertoy
Two years ago after our second visit to the Hammers and running Clawhammer, Sledge Hammer and Big Johnson a friend and me both decided that to keep our daily driver Jeeps in one piece something a bit more carried away was needed to have fun and keep our Jeeps from looking better than something that sits in a junk yard. So after some horse trading and side work I got my hands on a 2004 TJ that had been rolled. I ended up with the Jeep minus axles, transfercase and suspension.
Here she is after I knocked the tub back in shape, sitting next to my little Jeep. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...erbuilt001.jpg Once that was done the axle hunt was on ended up with a 14 bolt for the rear and a Dana60 HP out of a 79 Ford F350 Once I got some more side work done I really got going on it last May I wanted everything underneath flat so no control arm brackets, skid plates or anything beneath the frame http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller043.jpg Since I was waiting for some parts started to think how the transfercase was going to go under there http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller056.jpg Whole bunch of sheetmetal had to go to make that fit |
Started to get a handle on the front suspension
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller063.jpg Had to modify the frame a bit to get some clearance for the axle and some room for the steering http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller066.jpg Cut the front of the frame off and replaced it with some rectangular tubing, this way the steering box can come forward to accommodate the front wheel base Stretch. Front axle moved about 6 inches forward http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller083.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller078.jpg [IMG]http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p289/aartw12345/tinkertoy/ bigyeller099.jpg[/IMG] |
Sick build!
Then started making a bracket for the York compressor for the onboard air
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller173.jpg Then borrowed a tube bender and started on a roll cage http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller179.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller186.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller193.jpg Then stuck the rear driveshaft in and drove it for the first time down the street http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller201.jpg |
Then on to hi lining the hood and making some tube fenders
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...gyeller202.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2021.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2026.jpg Time for a poser shot lol http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2030.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2032.jpg Time to get the gearing changed and install the lockers http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2049.jpg Once that was successfully concluded I started on the onboard air system So I made a manifold and got this tank from harbor freight http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2055.jpg Once that was all plumbed it was on to some rock sliders http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2064.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2074.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2078.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2086.jpg |
Became time to tackle the steering box and PCS ram
So took the steering box back out and drilled and tapped it http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2121.jpg From there found a place for the reservoir http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2123.jpg Mounted the ram http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ller2125-1.jpg |
Getting closer to the finish
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2191.jpg Cleaned up wiring etc under the hood http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2205.jpg Time to mess with the center console, the stock stuff had to go to make enough clearance for the shifters and I wanted it gone period http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2216.jpg Plenty of room for more switches and idiot lights http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2222.jpg On to trying the lockers out http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2210.jpg Also in betwixed and between made a rear bumper with some shackle mounts http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ller2198-1.jpg The finished product http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2212.jpg Time for it's first road trip and shake down http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p..._beast_003.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2229.jpg Finally got a trailer to drag it to the trail. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2231.jpg The fenders on the trailer did not clear so out came the plasma and of the came. They are now easily removable This week's chores were to install a rear anti rock and make an engine and trans skidplate http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2236.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...yeller2239.jpg Well that took eleven months of all my free time and vacation time So that's all folks I need a break and I am going wheelin http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...chmentaspx.png http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p.../DSC046932.jpg |
Good lord.
That thing is amazing, i love all the custom fab work. |
Looks great Art :thumbsup: It's nice to see it all consolidated together in one thread. I'v been following the build up on "what did you do to your TJ today" thread and the other site you linked too.
Any future plans after wheeling? Looks like a beast as is but there is always something more lol |
For now it's pretty good, will fudge with the rear suspension a little, good thing I drilled extra holes in the brackets I made. On climbing some ledges it wheel hops a bit. We did Clawhammer, Jackhammer including the gatekeeper thing which is pretty darn cool, We could not run Lower Sledgehammer since it was blocked by a broken down Jeep. After finishing Jackhammer we walked down Sledge to see if these folks needed any help. Once we got back to the Jeeps we ran upper Sledge which was way cool might get some pics of that in a bit. Carnage for the day my tiedown straps got cut and the front diff cover peeked back a bit and leaked a little other than that She took her beating without complaints. So overall I am very happy with how the Jeep wheels.
Big Jeeps ride so much nicer on tough trails. Really didn't have any real trouble following my buddy that has his Jeep on 42's |
I'm in love
Glad to hear it's performing as good as it looks :cheers2: |

If you've watched last month's Computex show carefully, you'd already seen Asus' Windows 8/RT tablet pair, only under different names. The Asus Vivo Tab is what's been shown as the Tablet 810, and the Vivo Tab RT was previously known under the Tablet 600 name.
Let's first take a look at the Intel Atom-running Asus Vivo Tab. With an 11.6-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels, the tablet sports one of the biggest displays on the market, but that resolution not just average - it's below average at current standards. Still, the 32nm Atom chip powering the slate looks powerful enough for serious tablet productivity, and it's paired with a hefty 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The Vivo Tab is among the heavier slates weighing around 1.49 pounds (675 grams), but really thin at just 8.7mm.
Second, the Asus Vivo Tab RT is a slightly smaller, 10.1-inch tablet with the same 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution. It's running on Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core chip, has 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory and a Wacom stylus coming along. It's considerably lighter at just 1.15 pounds (520 g) and even thinner at 8.3mm.
Pricing is the one big unknown, but if we had to take an educated guess we would say that the ARM version would probably run at $499. Let's wait and see, though. There is no official release date, but you should expect to see them on shelves after October 26th when Windows 8/RT arrives.

We've become "dangerously dependent" on GPS sat-nav systems, the Royal Academy of Engineering warned in a report last week. And, it added, if the problem isn't tackled it could result in "loss of life".
From weather hazards to interference, satellite signals are more vulnerable than we realise, according to the RAE. It maintains that even subtle errors could have calamitous consequences. For example, ships and planes could be sent perilously off course.
Dr Martyn Lewis, chair of the group that wrote the report, told the BBC: "There is a growing interdependence between systems that people think are backing each other up."
His organisation wants to raise awareness of the need to put adequate back-up systems in place, to see a change in the law that would make the possession of jammers illegal, and to win government support for development of hardware solutions.
How easily we accept new technology into our everyday lives. It seems the convenience offered by the latest invention outweighs our need to give much thought to troublesome questions such as safety and security.
It's certainly hard to imagine a world without car sat-navs now. Within a few short years they've become a familiar sight on every other windscreen. I surely love my sat-nav, not least because it has brought peace to our family car.
Thanks largely to my quick temper, I've spent far too many holidays having screaming rows with my partner about who should have realised we needed to take the previous turning. Now it's just a case of punch in the postcode and off we harmoniously go.
What's more, it has increased my confidence, as the sole driver in the family, to get behind the wheel when abroad. Taking the stress of map-reading in a foreign language out of the equation has smoothed our way around France, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
Last year, when my family was stranded by the ash cloud in Portugal, I got a reminder of the bad old days of following the printed map.
We joined up with a few other hotel guests to share the journey back to the UK in a people-carrier. But the lead driver wouldn't countenance using a sat-nav and guided us home with an elaborate system of notes and maps.
This meant he had to remain awake for the whole journey to direct each driver, and when it came to his turn to drive, he spent an alarming amount of time with his eyes off the road studying his directions (at night, through the Basque mountains).
Now the genie's out of the bottle, car sat-navs are here to stay. But the RAE's report is a timely reminder that while we should embrace technological developments, we should treat them a little less like miracles.

Andrea Moore hopes to use PlatteForum residency for grief, but not in a sad way
Oh, camera, you make me LOL. |
For a project that centers around grief, it's coincidentally a fitting time of year for Andrea Moore to begin her work in PlatteForum's artist residency. An artistic jack-of-all-trades, the writer, photographer and performer moved into PlatteForum yesterday to begin her six-week residency there, during which she'll be putting together a multi-genre performance art piece that will involve poetry, interactive visual art and possibly a Greek Chorus.
"Four years ago this week," she says, "my father passed away from pancreatic cancer. So just the experience that I had and that my family had going through the process of watching him get sick and then eventually dying, that's a process I want to explore. But I also want to do some work around how people experience grief, and how we look at grief in this culture versus how people experience it in other cultures."
"Girl Sitting on a Grave in Uganda"
Andrea Moore
For example, Moore spent time last year in Uganda, taking portraits of children who had been orphaned by AIDS (see left). "In this culture," she muses, "there's a really strong expectation of what that would look like -- in my experience, it didn't look like that."
Like all residencies at PlatteForum, Moore's will have two components: She gets time to work on her own project, but meanwhile incorporates an aspect of that project into mentoring at-risk youth, in this case, about a dozen kids from the Joan Farley Academy and the Third Way Center, both group homes for teens who have been in foster care situations for most of their lives.

"I'm going to be walking them thorough the process of how to write, memorize and perform their own slam poetry," says Moore, adding, "That's ideally. You know, I'm sensitive to the reality that there might be some kids who are not very outgoing or would not want to get in front of a group."
Meanwhile, Moore's own project is more a general idea than a plan at this point -- what she does know, though, is that she wants to think big. "I've never gotten to work in a big space before, and I've never got to work with help before," she says. "You know, there's all these people who are like, whatever we can do to help. So I'm doing a lot of storyboarding, with big visuals on the walls and stuff -- kind of like a cheesy cop movie, writing things on the walls and figuring out how they fit together."
Whatever it shapes up to be, Moore and the group of kids she's working with will perform the show in the evenings of Thursday, March 3, and Friday, March 4, though the locations and times aren't exact yet. And even though the topic is grief, Moore says it's not going to be a sad show.
"I'm not really interested in writing a sad show," she says. "For me, humor is one of the things that's really helped, and made it easier to bear and to be connected. I really don't want people just weeping for the entire thing."

The trouble with the colors was probably that you never knew what team was going to be playing in the Super Bowl, and sometimes the colors of the logo would have been the colors of one or other of the teams. Or their rivals. If the Chiefs had ever gone to a Super Bowl with an orange and blue logo, I'd have puked at the merchandise
I'm siding with Tunick for the second time today. The standardized logo is awful. I miss the host city themed logo.
I agree that the standardized Super Bowl logos are a travesty. They have no character whatsoever. Laugh all you want, but I used to greatly anticipate the unveiling of the following year's Super Bowl logo--and I wasn't the only one; it was always in the Top 10 on Google Trends the day it was revealed. The change was made three years ago to improve the "branding" of the Super Bowl. Because, you know, the Super Bowl event is in a fluid and volatile state and the branding needs to be secured in order to insure that there will be annual interest.
Any of the old logo's that you do like? And while were on this topic, my favorite Super Bowl logo's of yesteryear: Love the colors there. Excellent use of incorporating the roses (and this would be the last Super Bowl to date played here in the L.A. area), since the game was at the Rose Bowl. My favorite Super Bowl logo of all time. Another great example of fine incorporation of the host city/state... also a fan of the light blue color on the ribbon, and the font used on the Roman numerals. Big points for a good New Orleans theme/good use of colors. My 2nd favorite logo of all time... a big fan of all the different colors used in the Roman numerals. I like the font used in the 'Super Bowl' tag, and the contrast of blue & the creamsicle orange. Use of a pylon for the 'I' numeral? Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Another great thing about these logos is that they become part of a team's identity; that unique logo belongs to the team who won that game. If I look at any one of those logos, I can tell you instantly--literally, instantly--who won that Super Bowl. Hell, I can tell you who lost that Super Bowl. Twenty years from now, nobody will be able to say that. You'll have to do the calculus in your head--Super Bowl XLVII...that's Super Bowl 46...we're on Super Bowl 66...the year is 2033, so that Super Bowl was in 2013...ah, I know who won it that year, it was the...."
We can look forward to the following team's getting new uniforms next year: Miami Dolphins Jacksonville jaguars Minnesota Vikings
According to Sportscenter, the League will apparently look into Brady's kick. Hopefully he'll get fined for that. He could have really done damage to Ed Reed's knee on that ***** play.
and put me in the traditional Super Bowl logos camp. I like how each Super Bowl had a unique look and feel. Not the standardized look the NFL has now. They changed the conference champs trophies too and the new ones suck. Give us the block of wood trophies Goodell. Here's my personal favorite Super Bowl logo (I'm biased of course):
Good, I was wondering if Golden Boy was going to get looked at for that kick. I was like "If they don't at least look at fining Brady for that after fining Suh, then there's definitely an problem with the disipline system."
I'm in the custom logo camp too. The generic logo now is just so bland. My favorite is the Roses logo.
Draft bust JaMarcus Russell planning NFL Comeback Bill Callahan calls SuperBowl 'sabatoge' charges 'ludicrous' and defamatory For backstory, former WR Tim Brown has apprently come out and said that Callahan deliberately sabatoged the Raiders Super Bowl chances by changing the game plan two nights prior so that Jon Gruden and the Bucs could win.
Greg Williams allowed to look for work, but isn't reinstated yet. Paul Tagliabue explains his decision in the bounty appeals. Jason Garrett stripped of playmaking decisions.
The Callahan story is pretty weird, but I go by Hanlon's razor which states "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." I think he was just incompetent, not throwing the Super Bowl. And, because I'm not done reveling in the Patriots' misery:

The CMA Awards co-host uses her smartphone to count calories.
Carrie Underwood's a practical woman. She doesn't use her smartphone to play games. "It's all, like, healthy-living stuff," says the singer, just named as co-host for November's CMA Awards show for a sixth consecutive year.
"I use my Livestrong app a lot," says Underwood, 30. "I'm a calorie counter; I have been for, like, seven years. I keep a food journal, and it has all my foods in it."
Underwood also relies on her Whole Foods app, not just for its recipes and shopping lists, but because she often needs to find the nearest store. "When we're traveling, I have to look up Whole Foods. I love the grocery store."
Underwood's had a busy week, in part because her new Blown Away Live concert DVD is just out. She co-hosted Good Morning America on Monday and appeared on Live! With Kelly and Michael Tuesday. She'll play the Willamette Country Music Festival in Brownsville, Ore., on Friday. She's also the voice of a new Grand Ole Opry radio campaign that begins airing next week.

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition in which one or more tumors form in your pancreas or the upper part of your small intestine (duodenum). These tumors, called gastrinomas, secrete large amounts of the hormone gastrin, which causes your stomach to produce too much acid. The excess acid then leads to peptic ulcers, as well as to diarrhea and other symptoms.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is rare. The disease may occur at any time in life, but people are usually diagnosed between ages 20 and 50. Medications to reduce stomach acid and heal the ulcers is the usual treatment for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Brinksmanship and timing rule this homage to Thelma and Louise politics.

This piece does not identify some of the worst parts of the deal, a committee that if it cant agree on cuts automatically triggers deep cuts in medicare and defense
I would prefer to let him have his one time increase in exchange for the media having to tell the truth about what the TeaParty is trying to do (reduce current year expenses, not pretend to reduce future year expenses that will never be reduced) and protect our children and grandchildren for having to pay for the debts being incurred today. - 7/31/11, 8:10 AM

"As of now—Sunday morning—word is there's a deal between the White House and Republicans on a deal to raise the debt ceiling. No tax increases. $1 trillion in immediate budget cuts. A required $1.5 trillion in cuts by November as designed by a bipartisan committee or (if the House and Senate do not agree on them) automatic cuts to Medicare (to scare Democrats) and Defense (to scare Republicans).
If the details are true, and the deal holds, it's an astonishing achievement for the Right—the most significant conceptual shift in American politics since Bill Clinton announced his support for ending welfare in 1996."

That is an acceptable deal if the automatic cuts are to the tune of $1.5 trillion and proportional between Medicare and the military. Personally I find the argument that military spending needs to be cut to be specious (it represents only ±22% of the budget), and would rather just deal with the real problem, but if the cost of tackling the real problem—entitlements—is to cut military spending, then, unhappily, so be it. - 7/31/11, 11:51 AM

"We are on the verge, it seems, of a deal on the debt ceiling that would embody two essential goals of the Tea Party and the GOP more generally: no new tax revenues and significant spending cuts equal to or greater than the size of the debt-ceiling increase. The White House, liberal pundits and most Democrats will tell you that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is in the grips of "Tea Party extremists" or that the freshmen Tea Partyers are holding him hostage. But what the debt-ceiling debate has shown us so far is that the "Tea Party" is no longer a designation that has a single meaning. Or put differently, there are very different kinds of Tea Partyers."

[ Features Index | San Jose | MetroActive Central | Archives ]
The following menagerie of people, places and trends is expected to ripen to full maturity in the coming year. So don't say we didn't warn you
Written by Katy Bell, Chris De Benedetti, Sullivan Bianco, Tracie Broom, Christian Bruno, Edward Crouse, Cory Feldman, Tobias Finch, Kerry Reid, Alexis Schneiderman and Michael Stabile
Rocio Artega
Opting for masking tape, Testor modeling paint, particle board and 2X4s over canvas and oil, Artega's artwork seethes with primal mess and practicality. Her recent mid-Mission exhibition shot angry sensitivity into mutilated, hanged or dismembered chicken or human bodies. These near-self-portraits are clothed usually in piercings and veined with an uneasy, horrific Steadman-Colley cartooniness. (EC)
Rodney O'Neal Austin
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Wanted: column single and free! Austin, whose visual work (a dual portrait arrangement ripped off by Madonna in Harper's Bazaar) and musical (Minnie Pearl Necklace) credentials need no intro, is searching these days for a new home for his column, "Naked on My High Horse." The droll first installment--a hallucinogenic tale of two midgets--was printed in a recently defunct magazine. Who will sample his supply? (SB)
Claire Bain
With the grad-student skewering in her short video Jennifer!, Claire Bain pinched a raw nerve. Bain is a sublime presence, excessorizing her women to the point of pain and well beyond. Her 8mm short Vel and the Bus switched from Bain complaining of post-accident pain to chiropractic sessions that stretched her (dummy's) neck to three times its normal length. Her latest film, The Making of El Capistrano, will, strangely enough, efface her acting in favor of abstraction. (EC)
Trent Berry
Trent Berry was recently named one of America's top 100 guitarists by Guitar Player magazine. A multidimensional musician and musical director of The Mantis Project, he and his entourage score music for independent films, organize events and serve as creative consultants. This "factory-style multimedia terrorist organization" is producing a brand-new, all-organic sound. "Ninety-nine percent of all dance music out right now is utter crap," Trent says. "We're striving for the 1 percent." In the upcoming year, The Mantis Project will refine its website, mantisproject.com, which serves an international music community. They are currently planning a multimedia event--light, music, sound, entirely interactive--for this spring. (CF)
Geoffrey Blythe
It's always exciting when the old school is infused with new blood, but it's really thrilling when a San Francisco institution like Jack's makes a savvy, forward-thinking choice while preserving its link to antiquity. Twenty-nine-year-old Geoffrey Blythe is ripe for the challenge of pulling off not only Jack's traditional steak, rabbit and Celery Victor menu but also a beautiful array of his own creations, flavored with quince, salsify and Indian corn. (TB)
Adam Bock
I'm not exactly sure where Adam Bock has been all this time (his bio describes him as "a Canadian with a green card living in the Mission," and he spent time in Providence, R.I.), but I sure hope he stays a spell. Bock's charming, winsome and flat-out wonderful play Swimming in the Shallows, which received a sterling production--and across-the-board critical raves--under Kent Nicholson's direction with the Shotgun Players this fall, marked him as exactly the sort of voice that theater-lovers are crying for. Quirky without being self-conscious, hopeful without being Hallmark saccharine, Bock creates a universe where a hard-luck gay man can find love with an aquarium shark (who used to be a Tupperware salesman)--and where we can unabashedly cheer on these unlikely lovers. (KR)
Gary Bossier
Gary Bossier started taking pictures at age 8. The prolific artist has amassed an impressive collection of hand-painted photographs. A native (fourth generation) San Franciscan, he chronicles the changing faces of the city. Bossier will be exhibiting highlights from the '70s, '80s and '90s at Place Pigalle on Jan. 13. Viewers can expect to stand face-to-portrait with the likes of Iggy Pop, Andy Warhol, Bill Graham, Debbie Harry and other icons. (CF)
Jacques Boyreau
The Whitesploitation maven is all but taking it easy. Fast on the heels of his raging, visionary 16mm feature Planet Manson, he will allow parts of his diary for his new opus, I Do, I Die, to be printed in our mag, but it's safe to say that as the film nears completion, he's unable to sit still. Though IDID seems to have prodded Boyreau into an introspective tone in person, his hedonistic, pleasure-plus-cinema side prevails. Particularly in his "Simul-vision" Werepad screenings--Corman's Machine Gun Kelly alongside Godard's Masculin-Feminin and the like--he is the pinnacle of Weird San Francisco. (EC)
Ms. Laura Brody
After graduating from FIDM cum laude, Laura dove into design. Her command of pattern-making, technical drawing and draping is reflected in her made-to-measure fashions. "My style walks a fine line between technical sportswear and fetish," she says. This spring Ms. Laura B. will launch her new line at Eklectic. In the meantime look for her LB-426 line at Something Else (or by appointment: [email protected]). (CF)
Chantal Buard
Still lassooing her first painstaking animation short, Buard uses a graphic concept both high and fast: a very obese woman performs an enviable series of gymnastics moves--on the horse, the vault, the parallel bars--as the camera looms large and awestruck around her. The effect is eerie and intense; the tests seen so far attest to the work being completely on the level. What Betty Boop did for sexually threatened flappers--befuddling expectations and supernaturally solving them--Buard will do for this large femme. (EC)
The Cleveland Browns
So they've only won two games this season. As the saying goes, that only leaves room for improvement. And after a four-year hiatus, those hideous brown-and-orange uniforms are back in a big way. Give it up. (TF)
Martha Colburn
If the Slits suddenly started dining with Max Fleischer and Ralph Bakshi, perhaps something like Colburn's oeuvre would spurt out of the sessions. Her cutout style defies rational description and deifies anthropomorphic genital ballets, flitting free-associative punk panic, pithy grime-blood mini-movies. The last ATA showing of her most recent work, the sinuous Cats Amore, cemented her as a formidable local presence. (EC)
Country Music
Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much" and LeAnn Rimes' novelty remixes aside, "Hot Country" for people in urban areas never really caught on. But with futurism already tired and electronica and hip-hop running low on sample sources, one can't help but wonder if its time has finally come. And with the number of (albeit gay) men sporting straw cowboy hats, it's nearly a given. The other night I found myself alone at a bar watching a Dixie Chicks concert and thought "Why not?" and bought the album the next day. Trust me on this one. I'm like Gramma's bunion and rain when it comes to sensing trends. (MS)
Bill Daniel
"Space Cowboy to Base, come in base ... ." Co-perfomer/curator with Margaret Kilagallaen on a painting-film collaboration, "Trespassing Sign" at the Headlands Center for the Arts, Daniel is continually immersed in neo-folk media practices. Always orbiting this city while he circumnavigates the U.S. in search of images, his next trek will take him through the Southwest, solo in 1965 Chevy Van save for an 8x10 still camera, a CB radio and a portable darkroom. And there's no telling what graphic reports he'll bring back from the hinterlands. (EC)
Gary Danko
Earth temblors happen more frequently than the quakes of the culinary world, but when the latter happens San Franciscans are comparably jostled. When Gary Danko departed the Ritz-Carlton (where he had been fêted as the best chef in California) to open his own eponymous dining room this fall, he took suave maitre 'd Nick Peyton with him and opened the hottest and chicest restaurant in San Francisco. The new year crowns Danko with celebrity chef status. Look out, Wolfgang. (MS)
The Devilettes
The brainchild of the hot-pink-haired Baby Doe, the Devilettes have danced--energetically and in step with yesteryear--into our scene: proms, pinups, pajama parties, even weddings. Expect to find this 18-member dance troupe tapping their way into a feature documentary, the Satanic Mechanics calendar, synchronized swimming pools and the Las Vegas Grind II this June. (KB)
JC Didier
JC has pushed promoting parties into creating experiences. Having integrated art, music and ambiance into the evening, he makes going out not just fun, but "a music museum at night." In addition to Electro-chic and his work with Visual Attack, JC is launching a monthly event, Bubble City. This free-spirit art contest and creation will be "a dream space for people to experience and feel what SF is all about ... people, art, music and dreams." (CF)
DMX Krew
Local Brit emigre Ed DMX makes post-synth one-man music that is absolutely (De)void of Large Irony. His vocoder-ed tunes have a disturbing, angleless precision--from the robot-sung "Get Wit' You" to the flatulent, shwee-king laseria on "Good Time Girl" (and I quote, "Deep House/Electronic Music shocks!"). His breakthrough album, We Are DMX, is euphoric, dead on--a whiff of Electro-poppers that doesn't soon wear off. (EC)
Julia D'Orazio
A fresh-faced young actress in San Francisco's newly thriving theater scene, the San Diego native has appeared in recent productions at Edinburgh Castle and Fort Mason's Magic Theatre as well as on Nash Bridges. D'Orazio is now at work writing a one-woman show for this coming spring. (CD)
Camper English
It started as a small group of friends meeting at various bars every other Thursday, but soon turned into a e-based mass, loitering and honoring bars with their presence. Not quite club kids and not quite Rat Packers, Camper's electric followers use the early evening hours by mixing artists and writers with computer programmers and drag queens. Finishing up his first year of touring the city's pubs, Camper might wisely spend time as a promoter. Is it too early to crown him the Michael Alig of millennial San Francisco? Only the coming year will tell. Take a look at his site (www.cramper.com) and see for yourself. (MS)

Ahmed gave me the idea of Paathshaala - Milind Ukey
What is Paathshaala about?
Paathshaala is basically about the various intrinsic problems which are being faced by not only the students and the teachers but also the parents and guardians at various levels. It is an emotional drama which sets out to tackle social issues. The premise of the film is set on the exorbitant fees that the schools extract from the poor gullible parents in the name of extra curricular activities for their wards. By putting pressure on the parents, most of the schools only end up in extorting money from the parents but the tragedy is that no one is ready to complain. My film Paathshaala will offer a platform for all parents, teachers and students to voice their grievances.
How did the idea for the film germinate?
To be frank with you, though I too am a writer on my own right, it was Ahmed Khan who has produced Paathshaala, who gave me the idea and asked me to work on it to make Paathshaala. In fact, it was challenging for me to take up the task of directing the film because not only is Ahmed a director besides being a choreographer but he has also written the subject. To add to it, he is a very good friend of Shahid Kapoor too. When I suggested to him that he should himself direct the film, he categorically told me that he wanted me to direct the film since it had a genre with which he was not comfortable.
What message does Paathshaala set out to convey to the audience?
Paathshaala is not a blockbuster though it is honest in an entertaining way and depicts the day to day problems faced by parents as well as students in schools. The message that I have set out to drive home through my film is that we should never treat our children as our property and take them for granted and emphasized on the fact that the government should wake up to the fundamental rights of the children. I have underlined the fact that we should be more considerate to our children instead of still thrusting as parents our own egos and ambitions on our children.
Did Ahmed Khan interfere with you on the sets?
Right from the day we went on the floors with the film, Ahmed and I created a synergy instead of conflict, as a producer-director team. We knew our respective spaces and also our roles were very clear.
Nana Patekar has the reputation of slapping his directors. How did you find the chore of directing him?
It was not a chore but a pleasant task directing Nana. Nana did not slap me. Nana has seen three generations of directors in a career span of forty years in which he has been acting right from the time he had started off in theatre. If you set out to work with him as a director, you should see to it that you know your job well and work at his level. It is only when you are not prepared that Nana will throw his tantrums. It helped me that Nana knew how capable I was since I had worked with him on the sets of Khamoshi: The Musical earlier.
Did you assist Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Khamoshi?
I was the associate director with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in not only Khamoshi: The Musical but also Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and had worked at close quarters with all actors right from Nana and Manisha Koirala to Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan and Aishwarya Bachchan.
What did you learn from Sanjay Leela Bhansali as far as direction is concerned?
In the five years that I was associated with Sanjay Leela Bhansali I learnt a lot of things about cinema including how to visualize a scene and make a film grand and also work in an organized manner in the commercial film industry. Though I had graduated from the Pune Film and Television Institute way back in 1995, it was from Sanjay that I learnt by practice that cinema is a technical art form.
Besides the Marathi film Devki and the Hindi film Humne Jeena Seekh Liya which also had dealt with kids, you have also made an animation film like Hanuman. How was the experience?
Making an animation film like Hanuman was a big challenge to me, because there was absolutely no reference point to me since it was the first animation film which was made in our country and also the only successful one. I had to do a lot of ground work to make Hanuman and concentrate on the right story telling, because kids need to be approached in a different way as far as story telling is concerned unlike Road Side Romeo, which did not click because the story telling was adult oriented.
In what way have you evolved as a director from the time you had made your debut with the Marathi film Devki to Paathshaala?
I think I have evolved a lot in terms of my technique as well as the ability to handle emotions with finesse. Now I look at my characterizations more deeply as a director and my scenes are less loud and melodramatic, especially since over the years, Cinema itself per se is more on the face than getting round and about.
How open are you to criticism as a filmmaker?
As a filmmaker, I know that I will never be able to grow without criticism but at the same time I would also tell the critics to care about the economics of any film when they set out to review the films. They can tear us apart after giving a film a chance to survive on its own merit at least for a week so that the producer can at least recover his investment instead of scaring the prospective cine-geors by panning a film the very day it is released.
What are your future plans?
I am working on two to three scripts of my own and waiting for the right time and the right set up. To tell you the truth, I am right now quite nervous because the results of this film both critically as well as box office wise will change the course of my career. I have always been inspired by great Indian filmmakers like Satyajit Ray and Ritwick Ghatak and Woody Allen abroad. I"d rather make the Raju Hirani kind of comedies with meaning than the mindless potboilers which David Dhawan, who is also incidentally from the FTII, is known to make.
