1. Welcome to the Official Davey and Goliath Web Site (www.daveyandgoliath.org/) : These classic Claymation figures are making a comeback, thanks to the Mountain Dew commercial where Davey says “We got hosed.” Read about the list of characters, including Davey’s friends Jimmy, Teddy and Mickey, with whom he forms a “No Girls Allowed” club. (Hmmm … .) You can also watch promotional videos.
2. The Autonomous Zone (www.azone.org) : The Zone, headquartered on Chicago’s Milwaukee Avenue, is (according to its site) “a collective space orientated towards social liberation and creative communities, where people can freely exchange ideas.” Find out more about this intriguing non-profit organization, which sponsors everything from “Queer Zones” to vegan ice cream socials.
3. Queen Bitch of the Universe (www.queenbitchoftheuniverse.com/) : No, it’s not about Laura Bush but rather fierce Tulsa drag queen Helga. (Yes, Tulsa.) Peruse the character gallery, look at the style/cosmic couture page, and shop at “Queen Bitch.”
