C.R.E.A.M. (an acronym for Choose Right Easy and Mellow) House music night was a musical event established in Birmingham, England in 1990. The events often took place in underground venues across the greater Birmingham area, and sometimes used a commercial nightclub after its usual closing time. C.R.E.A.M. still takes place in venues across the city and is possibly one of the longest running underground house nights in Europe.
The flyers often read "Venue... through the grapevine" and "2 till u curdle". Various record and clothes shops were informed of an impending event, with Pirate Radio stations helping out too. Tickets were frequently marked as Birthday party invitations; some of the more memorable venues included a disused shoe factory and a freaky night in a Laser-Tag establishment.
Hundreds of party-goers would converge on the venue and dance until daybreak with regular DJs such as Tony De Vit, Mark Jarman, Patrick Smooth, Scott Bond, Owen Owens, John Snakehips, Jon Hollis, and Dani Technici. Special guests would usually accompany the regular DJs, such as Roger Doctor the Background Boys, John Kelly and Funky Bus.

Smile Land is another domed city in the vast wastes outside of Romdo in the anime Ergo Proxy. Like many of the domed cities that Re-l, Pino, and Vincent encounter, Smile Land has a unique "character". While Romdo is a technological, capitalist paradise and other domes are throwbacks to 1950's Americana, Smile Land is a dome society that is structured like an amusement park. It is most closely recalls a Disney site.
True to the Walt Disney homage implicit in the story, the park is overseen by the benevolent dictator / cartoonist (and possible Proxy) Will B. Grant. Will's dream is to make sure that all those within Smile Land are happy and having a good time. Within Smile Land, curiously, a genuine smile seems hard to come by. The denizens are much impressed by Pino's authentic and dazzling smile.
Throughout Smile Land posters ( in lurid 1950's "Attack of the Giant Leeches" style ), warn of "The Attack of the Ergoproxy" featuring the mask of Ergo Proxy shooting lasers out of his eyes and massacring a screaming, confused Smile Land population.
While the crew of the Rabbit never actually visit Smile Land, Smile Land's inhabitants come to Pino in a dream while she is powering up.
During her visit to Smile Land Pino is assisted by two animated characters. One a dopey, but good-natured bear who is "always hungry" and another punk-rock styled cat in a leather jacket "with a bad attitude". Given that the characters themselves describe themselves as such implies a meta-awareness that is both humorous and disconcerting given that so much of Ergo Proxy's action hinges around the question of who someone truly is.
In the climactic scene of the visit occurs when Pino is seated within a large theater and watches Will at his desk, benevolently asking her questions in the style of Walt Disney's introduction to "Wonderful World of Disney" shorts. Pino is asked by Will ( who speaks to her directly from the screen ) if she knows of anything Vincent treasures. Alternatively he asks if she knows if Vincent has any known weaknesses when he is "big and strong". Pino, while certainly knowing that Vincent values his medallions, refuses to tell and shows her loyalty to Vincent.
"Smile Land", the episode, highlights an interesting aspect of inter-Proxy relationships: they fear each other and believe they are out to kill one another in a manner reminiscent of the "Highlander" series.
Upon awaking from her dream Pino tells Vincent, at the helm of The Rabbit that he musn't go to the dome city he sees on the horizon. While Re-l doesn't believe in listening to her, Vincent, in a display of faith and friendship honors her request. A cut back to the theater where Pino parlayed with Will shows a movie that ends with a voice-over from will stating that a sweet girl named Pino had saved Smile Land.

Christine Anderson was born in Los Angeles, CA, on March 25, 1983. She heard music playing in her head constantly, and after discovering the piano at age nine, barely a year passed before she was soloing with her first symphony.
Training
Schooled at home like Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Poulenc, Anderson was under strict orders not to listen to the radio or watch television, and instead spent nearly every waking hour mastering the piano. She began competing in piano competitions across the United States and won every single one of them.
"Her exceptional technical execution, tremendous degree of energy, and sheer speed at the keyboard belied her young age, leading internationally acclaimed pianist Wladimir Jan Kohanski to label her a child prodigy and to encourage her exploration of Bach. She subsequently entered and won six Bach competition recognitions including two consecutive Bach Festival gold medals for her animated performances of J.S. Bach's Preludes and Fugues."
Anderson attended Scripps College and received her B.A. in Music, with an emphasis on classical piano performance, under the tutelage of Dr. Hao Huang, MM, DMA, of Harvard University, the Juilliard School and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She earned an additional Concentration in Composition under Dr. Bill Alves, DMA, resident composer at Harvey Mudd College School of Engineering.
Launching her career
The following summer, with the help of veteran talent buyer Brian Lewis, Anderson recorded Live Summer Session, a live home-recorded album that rocketed the songstress from obscurity to indie stardom virtually overnight after she posted four of the 17 tracks on MySpace. Anderson's collaborators include Iggy Pop guitarist Whitey Kirst, SlipKnot bassist Paul Grey, jazz pianist Gregg Karukas, and John Ziegler of Pigmy Love Circus.
Stylistically, Anderson has been called the "missing link between Tori Amos and Martha Argerich", but her trademark ability of composing songs impromptu has led to critics comparing her with jazz players.
Anderson has also graced the cover of several music magazines including Rockdogz Magazine's "Top 40 Emerging Artists of 2006" issue, Artist Interviews, and Mouvement Nouveau.
She has been featured in MuchMusic and an episode of Canada's "Ed The Sock" show. She has also performed a live concert on MTV, and recently signed a contract to compose music for the theme songs and sound tracks of MTV shows, including "My Super Sweet 16". She is also in rotation on a growing number of radio stations across the US, including Clear Channel affiliates. She was a special guest on Live On Air With Darren Andrews and Baltimore's Below The Belt Show.
She was a special guest on the Sci-Fi Channel's "Dream Team" where she discussed the dreams of creative artists, and she was featured on LA Nightlife during her live piano-vocal performance at Glamourcon.
She made a cameo appearance as herself in Mark Hammil's 2004 comedy, Comic Book: The Movie.
She has also modeled for Von Dutch, Adam Saaks, and Teenage Millionaire, and she posed as Roller Girl for the 2004 West Coast Choppers calendar.
