I grew up in Nashville, TN. As a high schooler, my younger brother and I became fascinated with the graffiti popping up in and near downtown Music City and would drive around after school and on weekends trying to hunt down new work from our favorite writers. Some of Nashville's best would go on to become household names in the graffiti world, so it's always fun to look back at their early pieces that inspired me. I always loved how simple these letters were, but were so insanely stylish and worked so well together. ""Chromatics"" by Tackz (AM7). Painted on the side of his dad's photo / digital output studio, a lot of Nashville's graffiti writers will tell you this is one of the first pieces that made them want to paint.

We don't talk about politics here at Burlesque all that often. That's not why you come here. But we all know there's a lot at stake in this upcoming presidential election and that's important to us. Those of us living in Minnesota more than likely know about two constitutional amendments which will also be showing up on our November ballots, and those amendments are important to us as well: 1: An amendment to recognize marriage as a union solely between a man and a woman. 2: An amendment requiring citizens to obtain a new voter ID card in order to vote in elections We here at Burlesque plan to vote NO on both of these and urge you to do the same. We believe that it's nobody's business if two people in love want to be married and share the same rights as anybody else who gets married. We also...
