		<description><![CDATA[You said you lived in Castleberry Hill before things changed...when

did you live there and what was it like before?



Castleberry "Snake Nation" was fairly unknown and somewhat like a

secretive club in the early 90's. The building was jammed with all walks of artists and was definitely a playground of sorts. Really amazing parties and rich cavernous living quarters. We had started a couple different...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  

  

These days, art about war is popular, but generally prosaic.  Putting a positive spin on the topic, <a href="http://www.alcovearts.com/alcove/index.html"> The Alcove Contemporary Arts Gallery's</a> latest show "War & Peace" exhibits pieces from four artists who manifest the cycles of war and peace into their work.[2]
