Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53203 414.908.6000 MillerHighLifeTheatre.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sarah Maio [email protected] 414-908-6056 King Crimson Announce “Music Is Our Friend” North American Tour Dates 2021 King Crimson comes to the Miller High Life Theatre on August 31, 2021 MILWAUKEE – (June 7, 2021) – The Miller High Life Theatre and Alternative Concert Group are proud to welcome King Crimson with special guest The Zappa Band to the Miller High Life Theatre, August 31, 2021. Artist VIP presale is June 9 at 11 a.m., and venue presale is June 10th at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, June 11 at noon at the Miller High Life Theatre box office or Ticketmaster. When King Crimson returns to action this July, it will be the seventh year that the band has toured since returning to performing live in 2014, a run only interrupted by the lockdown in 2020. In that time, the audience has been reinvented, as much as the band itself, something Robert Fripp noted after the band’s performance in Pompeii, Italy’s famous amphitheater: “In Pompeii, a large percentage of the audience was young couples; KC moved into the mainstream in Italy. I walked onstage knowing that this band's position in the world has changed level.” - Robert Fripp The band’s shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many songs from their seminal 1969 album In the Court of the Crimson King, described by Pete Townshend as an “uncanny masterpiece.” The 7-piece line-up play many historic pieces, which Crimson has never previously played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics – “the music is new whenever it was written.” There are also new instrumentals and songs, as well as compositions by the three drummers, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy Stacey, which are a regular highlight.

Publication Date 2015 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Programmed Moves: Race and Embodiment in Fighting and Dancing Videogames by Irene Yi-Jiun Chien A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media and the Designated Emphasis in New Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Linda Williams, Chair Professor Kristen Whissel Professor Greg Niemeyer Professor Abigail De Kosnik Spring 2015 Abstract Programmed Moves: Race and Embodiment in Fighting and Dancing Videogames by Irene Yi-Jiun Chien Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media Designated Emphasis in New Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Linda Williams, Chair Programmed Moves examines the intertwined history and transnational circulation of two major videogame genres, martial arts fighting games and rhythm dancing games. Fighting and dancing games both emerge from Asia, and they both foreground the body. They strip down bodily movement into elemental actions like stepping, kicking, leaping, and tapping, and make these the form and content of the game. I argue that fighting and dancing games point to a key dynamic in videogame play: the programming of the body into the algorithmic logic of the game, a logic that increasingly organizes the informatic structure of everyday work and leisure in a globally interconnected information economy.

  • [Hot] 'Jersey Shore' Star Mike 'The Situation' Has Only Done 18 of His
    TOP STORIES MENU 'Jersey Shore' star Mike 'The Situation' has only done 18 of his 500 community service hours: report NEW YORK DAILY NEWS | 3 MONTHS AGO | 1 MINUTE, 6 SECONDS READ Mike Sorrentino is facing a sticky situation. The "Jersey Shore" star known as The Situation has only finished 18 of the 500 community service hours he was ordered to do after he left prison in September 2019, TMZ reported. A probation officer wrote in court documents obtained by TMZ that she's urged Sorrentino "at nearly every interaction to find a venue for community service, including service that could be performed from home." Sorrentino, 38, served eight months at the Otisville Federal Correctional Institution in New York last year in a tax evasion case. This past August, he did not attend a previously scheduled volunteer outing out of concerns stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, the parole officer said. A judge has now given Sorrentino a written warning regarding his community service hours. Representatives for Sorrentino and the Otisville facility did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Sorrentino rose to fame as a cast member on MTV's "Jersey Shore" during the reality show's original run from 2009 to 2012. He has since returned in recent years for MTV's ongoing spinoff series, "Jersey Shore Family Vacation." The reality star and his wife, Lauren, recently announced they're expecting a first child. On Tuesday, Sorrentino said they have a baby boy on the way. "Gym Tan We're having a Baby Boy," he wrote in an Instagram post.

    TRURO LOG AUGUST 2012 TRURO COUNCIL ON AGING WWW.TRURO-MA.GOV/COA William “Bill” Worthington explained to me the reason that he volunteers is because of the example of his parents. In the 60’s his father inherited some money and with it he built the Pamet Harbor Yacht Club and the floats. He bought a power launch, too. He and Charlie Francis also built the small house nearby. He got some boats and hired someone to teach sailing. Harriet Hobbs was one of the first students. Bill remembers that they tied knots on rainy days. In the 80’s Ansel Chaplin and Charles Davidson created the Conservation Trust and Bill’s mother was on the Board. Both parents also volunteered in Connecticut. William Worthington Almost as soon as Bill moved out here in 2001, Ansel Senior of the Year Chaplin suggested that he join the Planning Board. He was Chair for a little while and is still on the Board. He is newly on the Provincetown Water and Sewer Board which because of the new North Unionfield well site, requires 3 members INSIDE THIS ISSUE from Truro. Truro has leased this well site - Provincetown does not Senior Citizen of the Year own it which is a different set-up from the other Truro well sites.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation Chief Richard Weber Date: Dec. 16, 2015 Contact: *[email protected] IRS – Criminal Investigation CI Release #: CI-2015-12-16-A Accountant for Michael ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino Admits Tax Fraud Conspiracy The former tax preparer for television personality Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino and his brother, Marc Sorrentino, today admitted filing fraudulent tax returns on their behalf, Acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline D. Ciraolo of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman of the District of New Jersey announced. Gregg Mark, 51, of Spotswood, New Jersey, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton in Newark federal court to an information charging him with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court: Mark, formerly an accountant at a Staten Island, New York-based accounting firm, admitted preparing fraudulent tax returns for the Sorrentinos for tax years 2010 and 2011, during which time the Sorrentinos and their businesses – MPS Enterprises LLC and Situation Nation Inc. – received millions of dollars in income. To reduce the taxes the Sorrentinos owed, Mark caused to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) fraudulent business and personal tax returns. Mark admitted the Sorrentinos’ false returns defrauded the IRS out of $550,000 to $1.5 million. On Sept. 24, a grand jury in Newark returned a seven-count indictment charging the Sorrentinos with conspiracy to defraud the United States and filing false tax returns.
