Last night in the depths of MoMA, GZA, Adam Mansbach, José Parla, and Alan Ket were onstage discussing and exploring connections between graffiti and literature, and the hip-hop world. Afterwards, an invigorated crowd kept the conversation flowing to tunes from DJ J. Period and each took home a copy of Mansbach’s new book Rage Is Back.

Christos Katsiaouni was there for some pictures.

Rodney Alcala, the convicted serial killer who is on Death Row in California, was sentenced yesterday in NY to 25 years to life for two murders he confessed to committing in the 1970s. In 1979, a trove of photographs were discovered in a Seattle storage unit rented by Alcala with many of the subjects never being identified. These are some of them.

The Vector Portraits series by Andrew Bush

The latest episode of Matthew Thurber’s weekly comic. Enjoy!

Between 1978 – 1981 photographer Jill Freedman traveled with the police of the Ninth and Midtown South Precincts in cruisers and on foot patrol documenting their daily operations. A resulting series of photos and quotes were made into a book in 1982. If you can find a copy, it’s worth picking up.

Public drunken-ness, sequins measured by the ton and puddles of urine are the hallmarks of New Years Day in Philadelphia. The Mummers Parade lasts for over twelve hours on January 1st with elaborately dressed revelers marching up Broad Street starting at 9 am and eventually stumbling down Two Street in the dark. Short of hitting a cop, you’d need to try pretty hard to get arrested at this annual event. Accusations and half-hearted denials of racism and homophobia are a routine part of the parade tradition, which has been a staple occurrence in the city since the early 1800′s (but only banned black face in 1964).

If this doesn’t break the website, it’ll be pretty cool to look through.

Thanks to photographers Christos Katsiaouni, Julia Chesky, Kristy Leibowitz, and Colin M. Day for all of their hard work this year.
