...birthday parties as well. On Halloween Sal, Ron and 2,600 Rockyites--some from as far away as Montreal, London, Sacramento, Winston-Salem, N.C., and the Bronx--made a pilgrimage to Manhattan's cavernous Beacon Theater for a tenth-anniversary bash. Sal presented sham Oscars to each of seven R.H.P.S. actors, who tried not to look as if they had wandered into a Star Dreck convention. The audience judged a costume contest: dozens of odd fellows dressed as their favorite Rocky characters. Everyone had a ball.

The performances were well-received, but the church was not amused. "A bit of a falling out" led LaBute to resign his membership last year. The fuss has died down of late, but that...
...Meanwhile in London, P.R. firm Brunswick Arts is fielding rsvps for Australia's own Biennale bash on June 9. While the New Zealanders promise "music from London; films by Len Lye," Australia is offering a more restrained reception at the seriously elegant Hotel Cipriani. The parties reflect the different approaches the two countries are taking to promote their artists this year: for the controversial collective called et al., New Zealand is going loud; with slacker-generation sculptor Ricky Swallow, "it's a much more subtle kind of approach," says Karilyn Brown, head of audience and market development...
