Dumbworld: A Sacramento Based Blog on Entertainment, Media and Art

I followed Josh Fernadez’s writing in the Sacramento News and Review for some time (it was the first thing I read in every isssue, OK– I’m lying– the spicy personals were the first thing, but I digress), but who knew he was a pretty good poet too. 

You can read some of his stuff here.  Josh will read from his latest collection on Thursday, August 20 at Luna’s Café, 1414 16th Street at 8 p.m.

Access Sacramento, Sacramento’s local cable access programmer has a new page on Sacbee.com

And speaking of cable access, Dumbworld is  hard at work on our new show, Chinese Math.  Expect more info next month.

I promise pot in every chicken and garbage in ever car.  Vote now.

I had heard this before, but always thought it was an urban legend.  Wonder where Sacramento rated:

The scientists found that larger cities like Baltimore, Boston, and Detroit had among the highest average cocaine levels. Washington, D.C., ranked above the average, with 95 percent of the banknotes sampled contaminated with the drug. The lowest average cocaine levels in U.S. currency appeared on bills collected from Salt Lake City.

Tarantino alphabetically runs down his list of favorite movies released since he started directing movies (but he notes that Battle Royale is his favorite– I’m about to go and dig up my copy of it).  Glad to see Friday and Shaun of the Dead made the list.
