  We present first results from SPICES, the Spectroscopic, Photometric,
Infrared-Chosen Extragalactic Survey. SPICES is comprised of four ~30 square
arcminute high Galactic latitude fields with deep BRIzJK imaging reaching
depths of ~25th magnitude (AB) in the optical and ~23rd magnitude (AB) in the
near-infrared. To date we have 626 spectroscopic redshifts for
infrared-selected SPICES sources with K<20 (Vega). The project is poised to
address galaxy formation and evolution to redshift z~2. We discuss initial
results from the survey, including the surface density of extremely red objects
and the fraction of infrared sources at z>1. One of the SPICES fields has been
the target of a deep 190 ksec Chandra exposure; we discuss initial results from
analysis of that data set. Finally, we briefly discuss a successful campaign to
identify high-redshift sources in the SPICES fields.
