This Friday, Flavorpill HQ is hosting a Jelly event. Forget about PB&Js for a moment: a Jelly is casual coworking — we invite people to work from our space for the day, providing chairs and sofas, wireless internet, and of course, interesting people to talk to, collaborate with, and bounce ideas off of (that would be us, your fearless Flavorpill employees). Jelly is a pretty cool way to engage in and give back to the cultural/tech/creative community by offering up a positive, free place to work for a day. If all goes well, folks will talk, connections will be made, and constructive things will come from it (like our next big hires, partners, etc.). Ten-to-twelve freelance/startup/creative types (our favorites!) will camp out around our conference room, and go about their day, working on all sorts of projects. Get the 411 on our guests, and stay tuned for a post-Jelly redux on our day.

Have you purchased your green tickets yet for next Tuesday’s DNCHRD party? Dig out your old Girl Scout uniform, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume, and the Jolly Green Giant tights, and polish up your repertoire. For some movement inspiration, check out LVHRD’s latest “vdo” of all six team captains storming Uniqlo and dancing, erm, hard.

Are you a design nut or photography fan? We’re currently seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented individual to work with the Flavorpill Image Department staff. The ideal candidate has a love for imaging and design, the ability to work in a fast-paced online-publishing environment, and the desire to grow with the Flavorpill family.

Responsibilities include working with the Image Editor to oversee image sourcing for all Flavorpill city and cultural publications; acquiring and processing images from galleries, designers, PR agencies, music venues, etc; seeking out artists to showcase in the Flavorpill cover gallery; and brainstorming, designing, and executing new website and mailer features.

Applicants should possess diligent attention to detail, a strong design sense, and excellent Photoshop skills, including comprehensive knowledge of color correcting and photo re-touching. Strong interpersonal communication skills and positive disposition are a must; interest in the art world, knowledge of music, film, and/or writing, and basic knowledge of HTML are all a plus.

This position is part-time, three days a week, located in our Manhattan office. Salary is hourly and commensurate with experience. Send your resume and cover letter as Word documents to imaging[at]flavorpill.com. Hope to see you round the water cooler!

Did you catch Yelle in all her yellow-Reeboked glory? Or maybe you droned along with Gang Gang Dance at Southpaw? Get nostalgic for your recent past (or just see what you missed) at our 24hr Photo page — and scan the crowd at your next concert or event for our staff photographers. They’re always out and about!

The most recent issue of Boldtype took a hard look at the meaning of the portrait — from a micro-history of Chinese food by New York Times foodie Jennifer 8. Lee to a memoir of controversial Bishop Paul Moore Jr. by his daughter. The issue also features reviews of Richard Price’s new novel, Lush Life, Aleksander Hemon’s The Lazarus Project, an interview with novelist A.M. Homes, and a feature on oral history archivist Studs Terkel.

On Tuesday, May 20th, LVHRD hosts its fourth DNCHRD competition, a marathon dance-off that’s more manic than the prom scene in Grease. The event features six teams of color-coordinated dancers, and everyone is invited to participate — so long as you’re monochromatically attired and properly enthused. Flavorpill’s own Leah Taylor is captain of the green team, so may we suggest emeralds, eco-chic, and Kermit-the-Frog costumes? Green is officially the new black.

If your city has a post office, it probably has a biennial. São Paolo, Sydney, New York (via the Whitney), Havana, Venice, Paris… it’s a bit much for any art lover to digest. But, chin up: Flavorpill sister-publication Artkrush has your back with a brand-spankin’-new image gallery and issue #83. This week, we discuss the 5th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art inside Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Neue Nationalgalerie and other venues throughout the city. Peruse work by contributor Paulina Olowska, then sit in on a conversation between Mexico City-based artist Daniel Guzmán and AK contributor Anna Altman, as we discuss his work for BB5 and a new show with Steven Shearer at the New Museum.

Flavorpill’s world-news publication, Activate, is on e-newsstands and in your inboxes now. The latest issue examines Zimbabwe president Mugabe’s stronghold over his country’s elections; the continuing ascent of oil prices; the death of LSD inventor Albert Hoffman; Obama’s back-and-forth with his former pastor; and the dissection of a 900-pound squid. Read all about it.

Winners will be notified on Thursday, May 15. Start packing…

Whew. We’re still reeling from last Friday’s One Step Beyond — what about you? Luckily, our staff photogs were there in force to capture the party mayhem (courtesy of DJs Matthew Dear and Ambivalent) and jog our memories. Find your friends in our photo gallery, and stay tuned for news on upcoming One Step Beyonds — featuring Switch in May and Talib Kweli in June.
