Worn Again- Escapes
Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Yo, I got some new kicks in the mail and I love ‘em.

Worn Again makes them (with Terra Plana), they have a couple different styles.

I got the Escapes and I love ‘em so far. The shoes are sweatshop free and almost entirely made from scraps and recycled rubber. Worn Again uses old car [...]

Shoelaces
Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

This is what the internet was built for… an entire site dedicate to shoelace tying. It’s sooo cool. Do not miss the detailed directions for “Ian’s Knot” aka the World’s Fastest Shoelace Knot. Can’t understand the video? Read the text. Can’t follow that, see the step by step illustrations (with or without fingers). No? Well [...]

Woke up this morning to the sound of some lady screaming “Motherfuckers!!! Aaargh! Are any coffee shops open in San Francisco!? … What about now?!”

Totally surreal. Band practice with MC Frontalot, this guy I’ve been listenin’ to for many many years. I know these songs by heart, hairs raise when Listen Close starts up. When I’m not using the mic, I pick up a pen and draw shit.

The practice space was in Oakland, at Cat5’s [...]

I wait on the corner of 4th on Market on the mornings I don’t ride my bike to work. I don’t fully know all of the buses, but my destination is pretty simple, just a straight ride down 4th, and all the buses that go there have “Caltrain/Stockton” written on their marquee.

The Buddha Returns
Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

In my dream it was a rainy day… Everywhere.

Not that we had noticed in San Francisco, it was often times grey this time of year, but the clouds covered everything.

I was outside, on a corner somewhere in the mission, when a beam of light broke through the clouds. It was like the [...]

Sexy Party

Tuesday, March 14, 2006
So last year I wrote about an Absinthe party I attended here in the city that had a decent amount of public sex going on. It wasn’t a sex party, it was just an underground party that sort of evolved into something a little heavy.

The rain started suddenly and seemed to be a surprise to most folks out on the [...]
