	Remember when you got grounded in 10^th grade for coming home drunk and vomiting on the dog? Or the time you got caught selling fake ecstasy and were escorted out of that after-hours dive? Or how about the time your girlfriend got your password and broke into your Gmail account, only to discover you had an online honey? Man, if you had a dollar for every time you got busted, you'd be able to post bail right about now. Held in conjunction with the publication of *Busted* (powerHouse Magazine Issue 5), The powerHouse Arena will host an exhibition of art that celebrates all that goes wrong when you're up to no good. Come join us to point and laugh at all the failures, fiascos, and hilariously embarrassing situations captured by these talented artists. Busted promises the most eclectic mix of nogoodniks, anarchists, and frisky kids ever caught between two covers.

Remember when you got grounded in 10^th grade for coming home drunk and vomiting on the dog? Or the time you got caught selling fake ecstasy and were escorted out of that after-hours dive?

To celebrate all that goes wrong when you're up to no good, powerHouse Magazine introduces Issue 5: Busted, a sometimes serious, often hilarious look at failure and fiasco from around the globe. From manhunts to masturbation, friendly fire to robbing the mafia, trespassing to parking-lot madness, "Busted" promises the most eclectic mix of nogoodniks, anarchists, and frisky kids ever caught between two covers.
