ART OPPORTUNITY
brought to you by
PORKY'S GROOVE MACHINE:
"Calling all Porkchops,
Our new album, "Magic Brunch," is nearing completion. However, there is still something it lacks - album art. We are searching for anyone willing to submit artwork to be considered for the album and merchandise. As compensation, the person whose artwork we choose will get a free copy of the album and $50 (~140 RDE [Red Dog Equivalent]!!!), and the three runners-up will each receive a free digital download of the album and a case of Red Dog (30 RDE!!!). Themes for the album art could be but are not limited to: Brunch, Space, Robeert Beerchild, Dystopian and Syncopationless Starbucks-Infested Planetoids, Middle School Sex Education, and the standard Porky's Iconography and Mythos. Or any combination of these themes. Let us know if you're working on something, we're excited to see what comes in! Thanks, Porkchops!

ANONYMous FLIRTING##
LikeALittle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LikeALittle was a social network service launched on October 25, 2010, by Evan Reas, with the stated purpose of allowing users to post flirts about other students around campus, and make the practice viral across the web. The LikeALittle service was discontinued without explanation on July 10, 2012.[1][2]

[hide]History[edit]
Reas worked with two co-founders, Prasanna Sankaranarayanan and Shubham Mittal to try to make connections with other students outside of their own university. The newly launched site featured over 50 campuses[3] in just a few months.
When a user commented on a post, they were assigned the name of a fruit. This way users were identifiable within the conversation they are a part of, but were still able to retain their anonymity. Each time they commented on a new post, they received a different name. Users were encouraged to post flirtatious, complimentary, non-inflammatory content. Any user could delete or report posts that they found offensive or abusive.[4] Messages sent to other users remained anonymous.[5] Users could also "like" posts and comments, similar to the ability to like posts and comments on other social networking sites such as Facebook. Users received notifications if their posts, or posts that they had liked or commented on, received activity. These notifications appeared on the main page of the site if the user was logged in. They could also be sent via email or text message(SMS).
Popularity on University/College Campuses[edit]
Due to the location based nature of LikeALittle's flirting system, the website became quite popular among students at universities where a large portion of the campus community revolves around small areas, making them conducive to anonymous online flirting, such as large campus libraries or residences. Popularity and use of the website tended to spike dramatically during exam season and lower to near inactivity during breaks, though at some universities usage was high throughout the year.[6]
Criticism and Privacy Concerns[edit]
With LikeALittle's increased presence on university and college campuses, concerns were raised that LikeAlittle may make campuses unsafe by allowing a person or a group of persons to publicly stalk others. Others raised concerns over the increase in sexually explicit comments over more innocent levels of flirting that the site wished to promote.[7] In response to these concerns, the site maintained that it made a strong effort to ensure that cases of stalking, privacy breaches and sexually explicit posts were taken down immediately through the use of computer filters and campus-specific moderators,[8][9] as well as a small contingent of site-wide moderators.[citation needed]

What I learned at SEA: A reflection
1. If you leave your business cards tossed about the hotel like boats in a storm, you will get emails about how cool you are.
2. I don't like most things.
3. Getting drunk with artist friends is the best thing you can do for your career.
