Any thoughts on whether Google's practice of
edge caching (storing content such as YouTube videos on servers close to people's homes for faster loads, etc, as I understand it) violates an open, neutral Net?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jeff Krulik: Nuggets
Tuesday, January 6, 2008 at 7:30 pm
55 33rd Street, 3rd Floor
Brooklyn, New York
Aficionados of pop culture detritus know Jeff Krulik as co-director, with
John Heyn, of the legendary Heavy Metal Parking Lot, the definitive
fan-thropological study of drunken Judas Priest devotees cavorting outside
Marylandıs now-defunct Capitol Centre arena in 1986. But true heads
acknowledge the Krulik as Washington DCıs underground auteur of weird
Americana; his oeuvre of over fifty documentaries take on everything from
the secret history Lancelot Link, to a Congressional Librarianıs gargantuan
porn collection, to the true tale of how Adolf Hitlerıs top hat ended up in
some guyıs closet outside of Baltimore.
Light Industry kicks off 2009 by inviting Jeff up to New York to present
rarities and tidbits of hidden rock history culled from his personal archive
and current projects, including...
Heavy Metal Picnic: Created from a recently unearthed trove of fan-made
video, a look at what was going on in the Maryland suburbs a full year
before the genesis of Heavy Metal Parking Lot. ³This guy went to a big party
in a field with hundreds of metalheads without any policejust a giant
bacchanalian party with local doom metal bands,² says Jeff. ³He took a
camera and a stolen mic from CBS News and basically made a home movie.²
Led Zeppelin Played Here: 1969 was the year Led Zeppelin broke, and their
first Washington area concert was a local youth center gymnasium on the
night of Richard Nixon's inauguration. Seeking out evidence for this
historic show, Led Zeppelin Played Here uncovers the truth behind the tall
tales of local rock lore.
Ambassador Theater Psychdedelic Memories: An oral history of the Ambassador
Theater, Washington, DC's psychedelic concert and dance hall, which opened
in the Summer of 1967. It didn't last long, but its short memorable run
included five straight nights of Jimi Hendrix for $2 admission, the Hollies,
Moby Grape and a drunken rant by Norman Mailer.
Plus, other surprises to pepper the evening. According to Jeff, heıll also
have Heavy Metal Parking Lot cued up if people really want to watch it
again.
Followed by a discussion between Krulik and critic Michael Azerrad, author
of Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground
1981-1991.
Tickets - $7, available at door.
About Light Industry
Light Industry is a new venue for film and electronic art in Brooklyn, New
York. Developed and overseen by Thomas Beard and Ed Halter, the project has
begun as a series of weekly events at Industry City in Sunset Park, each
organized by a different artist, critic, or curator. Conceptually, Light
Industry draws equal inspiration from the long history of alternative art
spaces in New York as well its storied tradition of cinematheques and other
intrepid film exhibitors. Through a regular program of screenings,
performances, and lectures, its goal is to explore new models for the
Presentation of time-based media and foster an ongoing dialogue amongst a
wide range of artists and audiences within the city.
About Industry City
Industry City, an industrial complex in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, is home to a
cross-section of manufacturing, warehousing and light industry. As part of a
regeneration program intended to diversify the use of its 6 million square
feet of space to better reflect 21st century production, Industry City now
includes workspace for artists. In addition to offering studios at
competitive rates, Industry City also provides a limited number of
rent-stabilized studios for artists in need of low-cost rental space. This
program was conceived in response to the lack of affordable workspace for
artists in New York City and aims to establish a new paradigm for industrial
redevelopment--one that does not displace artists, workers, local residents
or industry but instead builds a sustainable community in a context that
integrates cultural and industrial production.
