Some Web Problems…

Posted on February 19th, 2008 by The Captain.
Categories: Our Webpage.

Wow!  Have I missed this web page!  For the past four days, we haven’t been able to get on, so we have not been able to keep up on everything.  But Phillip Alexander got on the job, and we are up and running once again!

Just a side, note of appreciation… as soon as I logged on, there were THREE comments waiting for me to moderate.  That is about a comment per day that I was not able to get on line!  My heart swells with joy, folks.  Thanks for continuing to stop by bitethehand.org!

And Now… The Bite the Hand Society!

Posted on February 9th, 2008 by The Captain.
Categories: Our Webpage, Operation:Venue, Bite the Hand Society, Needs/Haves, Music, Events, Local Businesses and Non-Profits, Workshops.

Bite the Hand Productions is founding a society at Sonoma State University! We will be using the society to provide more artistic and activist opportunities for university students and for our local community. Here are three main goals of that we will be working on:

1. To hold activities on campus that involve making food, art, and community. This entails workshops, field trips, discussions, publications, and demonstrations.
2. To serve as an interface between local artist/activists and the university population. This means arranging ways for local groups to get on campus and share what they do with the student body and faculty. It also involves bringing students out to local events.
3. To publish students’ work in The Pharmakon periodical and to distribute The Pharmakon throughout the university.

We are going through the chartering process right now and will be having meetings and events very soon! Keep checking our web site for updates!

Are you a JC or SSU student? We want to have more members among SSU students. We also want to start up a society at the JC. E-mail us at thepharmakon@gmail.com if you are interested!

Our New Bite-Sized Manifesto!

Posted on February 7th, 2008 by The Captain.
Categories: Our Webpage, Philosophy.

We have redrafted our bite-sized manifesto to incorporate some elements from our full manifesto. Both of them are in the “pages” sidebar to the left. Or, you can read the bite-sized one right here:

“We at Bite the Hand Productions maintain that what is administered to us cannot sustain us. Our work is to collaborate to bring forth the essential qualities of life, those which give us meaning and sustenance. These qualities will not be found in what is slopped on our plate by outside forces. They can be found inside ourselves and through a knowledge of and cooperation with our communities, media, and environments. So we say bite the hand that feeds you nothing- FEED YOURSELF.”

We’ve been away from the computer for a few days and haven’t been able to add any posts to the web page.  But now… we’re back and writing away!!

It’s really important to Bite the Hand Productions that we keep this website updated daily.  We thank everyone who has come on by to check out what we are up to.  Keep on visiting us frequently and keep on leaving comments!  Heck, make it your homepage!

Anyway, there is a lot of great Bite the Hand action coming your way soon.  The next issue of The Pharmakon will be coming out in a matter of days.  We are preparing for a Bite the Hand Society at Sonoma State and are also preparing for a community quilt day at Free Mind Media later this month.  Oh, and Bryce Style will be publishing a book with us soon.  Keep in touch, folks!

Who is Phillip??

Posted on January 24th, 2008 by The Captain.
Categories: Phillip Click's Photos, Our Webpage, The Pharmakon.

He’s the photo-man, the web provider, the enthusiastic brain and body that moves the party along.  He’s Phillip Alexander.

This is the guy who gave us the webpage you see before you.  Back in September, he set it up through his web site “Winner Take Nothing.”  After a short lesson, we were posting as often as we could.  The rest is available in our archives.

We want to say THANK YOU PHILLIP.  You have helped Bite the Hand out immensely and you are loved and respected by many in Sonoma County.  We can’t wait to see you the next time you are in town!

We recommend everyone check out his photos at “Winner Take Nothing” (the link is below).  He has taken pictures at some of the best shows in Sonoma County and they are a visual delight.

Seeing the Ghost

Posted on January 2nd, 2008 by The Captain.
Categories: Annie The Ghost's Art, Bryce Style's Poetry, Our Webpage, The Pharmakon.

Annie the Ghost is an amazing artist who’s work has been featured in nearly every issue of The Pharmakon. She is the one behind the mysterious poster for our recent New Years show. Soon, January’s Pharmakon will be appearing with her art gracing the cover in a collaboration with Tim Dixon. It is great. We are very fortunate to be working with her at Bite the Hand Productions. She has made us believe in ghosts.

From now on, we will be using this web page to get Annie’s art out to the public as much as we can! At least one art piece of hers will be posted weekly, along with a link to her online art gallery. You can see all of these posts by clicking on “Annie the Ghost’s Art” on the “Categories” sidebar to the left. Feel free to leave comments whenever you wish.

You can look at her online art gallery right now by clicking here: Annie The Ghost’s Artwork

Thank you all for your support. We at Bite the Hand can feel a real change coming to this area. Keep it coming.

We have just finished the manifesto for our production group. It seems to summarize our philosophy and mission quite well.

You can find it under the “pages” sidebar to the left. It is titled “Manifesto.”

Please read it and please leave comments. We want to know what you think.

Posted on October 1st, 2007 by The Captain.
Categories: Our Webpage.

It is October 2007 and Bite the Hand Productions has a new web site. This is a new move for us and it is a great one. Now, we can post information and thoughts whenever we want and have a public space to post pictures and art.  We encourage everyone to drop on by often because we will be adding new posts all the time.  Heck, make it your homepage!

Here are some things we want to do to improve this page.  If you have any internet experience and can help, drop us a line at thepharmakon@gmail. com.

-We want to make an interactive events calender that links to other web pages.

-We want to make an e-mail link on the homepage

We welcome any suggestions on how we can make this web site better.  Cheers.
