My big mouth
Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Yeah, I’m totally a know it all. But you know what? I’m fine with that… Usually.
Today Mike and I scoured the Mission for yard sales. On the apex of our adventure we came across a yard sale on 18th and Valencia with a cool collection of books, cds, and tapes.
Right away I noticed one tape [...]

Here are a few video clips hellavant (hella relevant) to the musical tour I just did with MC Router and Beefy.

Sgt. Marc Golczynski
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

On the phone with my dad yesterday, I learned that a good friend of mine had recently passed away.
Marc Golczynski, a Sergeant in the Marines, was shot and killed on Tuesday March 27th while on his second tour of duty in Iraq. Stories here and here.
Marc was literally my oldest friend. We were born weeks [...]

Greydon Square
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

I recently came across a rapper named Greydon Square.
I don’t think he considers himself nerdcore, but he songs are filled iwth nerdy references. Mainly he raps atheist theory mixed in with some physics and some common sense.
He has some neat http://www.thecomptoneffect.com/videos.php]videos on his site, actually his live rapping seems a little better than his nice [...]

A Model Consumer
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I take pride in being a good consumer.
In part that means researching places and sharing input via sites like Yelp.
But what I’m really trying to say is that I look fantastic while I’m shopping.
This last Sunday my pic ran in an article about record collectors and local record shops in the San Francisco Chronicle.

The picture [...]

tour wallets
Monday, March 19th, 2007

In my previous blog I mentioned that I spent an entire evening (on the edge of the tour) making merch to sell at the shows. I decided to make more wallets out blue jeans to sell because that seems to be what people digging right now.
So I made 8 wallets, each one slightly different, and [...]

The Mediocre Tour part I
Saturday, March 17th, 2007

Today is the third day of the Mediocre Tour, but the story of the Mediocre Tour goes back two months ago. Beefy and I were playing a game of chess at a coffee shop in Portland… Yeah, I live in San Francisco and Beefy lives Pasco, WA, but we were playing a chess in Portland… [...]

BibiCaffe Beverage and Americone Dream
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

On a recent trip to Calistoga Springs, I found a new beverage called BibbiCaffe. It’s an Italian soft drink that mixes espresso and soda with vanilla and caramel. The result is this rich, sweet soda that is very refreshing. Some folks may want to compare it to Coca-Cola’s Blak soda, but the really is no [...]

Superballs
Monday, March 12th, 2007

The Alternative Press Expowill soon be upon us. This year I’ll tabling with the Cartoonist Conspiracy once again. My goal is to have at least one new book of my own printed, and perhaps 3 new San Francisco Cartoonist Conspiracy books to sell.
I won’t have a chance to work on my book at all until [...]

Photo Dump
Monday, March 12th, 2007

This is me, age 18. With my first Fender Jaguar. I bought it in Memphis while my band was doing a small tour. The other guys in the band hated the guitar and blame it for our eventual break up. You can’t see it, but I was wearing a gold leotard. I wore them a [...]
