Go Ape one last time!
Join root hill’s trash pony bar this Friday night at 8:30 PM to celebrate the last night of :
Bonobos in the Mist
prints by Shelly Mars
Better known as a performance artist for twenty five years, her latest performance piece, Homo Bonobo Project, led Shelly to print making. These prints reveal a freeness that is consistent with the irreverence and punch of her performance style. Her layering of images is reminiscent of the dense jungle foliage of the Democratic Republic of Congo where Mars spent many research hours observing the bonobo populations.
Native to only one small area of the DRC, bonobos are being wiped out by civil war, poachers and deforestation.
Mars has been Artist in Residence at New York City’s Museum of Sex and has received grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Arcus Foundation, the Gill Foundation and the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art. She is currently hosting the monthly performance series Bulldyke Chronicles at Dixon Place theater.
Twenty percent of all print sales and trash pony’s bar will be donated to Lola Ya Bonobo (www.friendsofbonobos.org ), whose mission is to rescue orphaned bonobos and eventually reintroduce them back into the wild.

Trash Pony Science: On the Edge of Science - Astrology and our Relationship to the Cosmos
Trash Pony Science + the Underlying Order of Things presents:
On the Edge of Science
Astrology and our Relationship to the Cosmos
A presentation by Cathy Towle
Our fascination with the heavenly bodies goes back to the beginning of time when ancient man noticed the correlations between the movements of the stars and events on earth. Closely related to Astronomy, and considered one in the same, in the 17th Century Astronomy and Astrology split apart. Why did Astrology become associated with idea of superstition and divination, while Astronomy became science? What was it about the human mind that sought reason over divine guidance? How is our own cosmology evolving as we explore the dichotomy of increasing technology in our lives and an inner longing to connect to divinity and create community.
Cathy Towle is an Astrologer, Shaman, Author, and Speaker in Brooklyn, NY. She hosts Salon Fastastique and The Radio Show - Paranormal Highway, teaches intuition and the esoteric arts, and has an intuitive consulting practice in Brooklyn NY.

Get It Out: Trash Pony Comedy - Now required by Doctors.
Someone once said: "laughter is the key to life" and now scientist have actually proven it. Resent research done by Dr. I. M. Funny shows that one must do more than eat healthy and exercise to live a long life. Dr. Funny tested people to see if laughter was actually keeping them alive by measuring their heart rates and telling them jokes. Turns out that humans require at least a minimum of four hours a week of solid laughs and chuckles to remain functional. This is way less than what needed to sustain the existence of the four legged creature, the Hyena. The Hyena has to use 90% of its' day to laugh. Laughing has something to do with regulating the build up of air within the human body. Laughing causes air to be release from deep parts of your diaphragm that just can't be done through normal breathing, talking, athletic workouts, or even singing. But what's the big deal about getting this air out of deep parts of your body? Well, Dr. Funny explains: "not releasing the air with a good belly laugh can be very dangerous. If you don't release this air your body will be force to use all it's energy to try and suppress the growing pressure. That means that you will begin to feel very tired all the time and not be able to function. If this pressure is never release than the energy will build up and you will explode." That's right if we don't expel the air within through laughing them we all would explode. Some ironic cruelty left over from evolutions Dr. Funny assumes.
Dr. I. M. Funny suggest that you attend the Get It Out: Trash Pony Comedy on April 13, 2011 to help with the regulation of air in your body. He says to make sure that you laugh hardly at the people providing jokes for your, literal, well being. It may save your life.
