Weight for it
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I mentioned before that I have started trying to lose weight. Well, for a while it seemed that delving below 209 pounds seemed challenging (every time I would come close, my weight would shoot back up to 212 overnight and it would take 3 days to get it back down) but I have finally conquered [...]

40 ounces of denim
Sunday, July 29th, 2007

I went to Zeitgeist friday night with Emma and her friend Poncho. Avoiding my usual rules, I mixed different alcohols. Starting with an order of 3 shots of Fernet and a bottle of nigori sake, then a shot of whiskey and some of Poncho’s tequila. I think there is probably a rule that anybody named [...]

Nerdcore For Life (w/ photo proof)
Saturday, July 28th, 2007

My first skating injury.
Tried dropping in on my first half pipe and did this. The ramp was covered with sheet metal and hella slippery.
Pretty much ruined my skating career.
10 years later, I got the urge again, so I bought some new inline skates and successfully dropped in to a 8 foot bowl.
… but, since it [...]

City Museum Mascots
Thursday, July 26th, 2007

While recently blogging about the City Museum, the coolest/most dangerous place in the midwest, I realized that they were missing something. They have plenty of holes, rebar tubes, hulking devices and 3 story tall slides, but what they are missing are some mascots. Faces to slap on stickers or shirts, people in giant foam costumes, [...]

Waiting for a call
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

This sucks, I’m anxiously awaiting a call about a big gig that I probably won’t even get.
I wan’t to talk about it, but I always feel so dumb when I’ve talked about stuff if and then it doesn’t happen.
So I, and probably about 20 of my friends, are all checking to make sure our cell [...]

kaw-fee koh-zee
Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I did a trunk show yesterday called “Mission Indie Mart”. I had wallets, cozies, and comics for sale and actually did pretty well. Something interesting happened though, I heard someone refer to a coffee cozy as a “kah-see” instead of a “koh-zee“.
About, half an hour later somebody else said it that way too, adding that [...]

Recent trip to STL
Monday, July 23rd, 2007

As most of you know, Shannon and I went to Saint Louis over a week ago. We left on a Thursday and I haven’t slept in San Francisco in 9 days. It’s been terrible, I’m so pissy. Seriously, I was feeling crazy homesick from the second I got off of the BART. I was [...]

I love labels
Friday, July 20th, 2007

Here is one label I don’t mind being thrown around. It’s my Doc Pop red tab craft label. The fine print says “remade in USA” on one side and “docpopcrafts.org” on the other.
I think these labels look great with the denim. San Franciscans can see them in greater detail at Stylerecycled House Party (25th & [...]

Stuff from MoYo
Thursday, July 19th, 2007

I accumulated a lot of new items at The Missouri State Yo-Yo Contest. This is some of it.
Clockwise from left;
Drown Radio signage from my show.
MOYO tag on my Blackspot sneaker.
Louisville Slugger clicker from Rick.
Dert by Russ Andert. Traded for a something something. I love it.
Baby Dert, bought from Chris. First yo-yo I’ve bought in a [...]

iParody
Thursday, July 19th, 2007

A few weekends ago I helped on the set of the new Geek Entertainment video. The video, which is online now, is a parody of Don’t Cha by the Pussycat Girls. The GETV version is all about iPhone envy and is probably their nicest looking music video yet.
While I was on the set I snapped [...]
