MOVIE: MoMA's Modern Mondays series explores innovation on the big screen, and tonight they dedicate an evening to Kevin Jerome Everson. "His films look for the art in everyday life, revealing people's relationship to their crafts and focusing on the conditions, tasks, gestures, and materials in communities. Much of Everson's recent work is inspired by found footage. He manipulates news and sports footage, old films, still photographs, and image files in various ways, subtly repositioning or restaging actions and movements to highlight or shift the original emphasis." Tonight several of his recent films will screen, including premieres of some new shorts.

After much talk earlier this year, the Post reports that pedi-cabs will be regulated by next year, with hearings to conclude by the end of the year. Many politicians had been worried with more and more pedicabs appearing, the lack of oversight (no licenses, no age limits, no set fares, no insurance) would leave passengers at risk. The head of the NYC Pedicab Owners Association does think regulation is a good idea, given that many more drivers appear in the summer months. There are some non-fans of pedicabs: Cab drivers, who say that pedicabs are stealing their business and that they are unsafe without seatbelts. The Department of Transportation says that pedicab drivers will be expected to have valid driver's licenses (it's probably too difficult to institute a separate pedicab license) and million-dollar insurance.
