Z-20
Monday, December 31st, 2007

My friend, fellow nerdcore journalist, and co-organizer of the Crate Digger Death-match,  Z. from Hipster, Please!, got his first Boing Boing today! Can I get a w00t woot?!
Z.’s new found Boing status is in regards to his fantastic d20 tattoo he got yesterday.
Way to go Z.
It actually reminds me of a certain ex-girlfriend. She was [...]

The Crate Digger Death-match
Monday, December 31st, 2007

New year, new projects, it’s like “bam!”.
“Bam! Bam! Bam!”
In January I’ve got studio time booked, plans for an iTunes release, a 24 Hour Comic Jam, crafts to make, orders to fill, and on top of that I’m co-organizing and entering in the first ever Crate Digger Death-match.
The Crate Digger Death-match is a musical challenge based [...]

The Hot Tub Jeans Experiment
Saturday, December 29th, 2007

6 years ago, you used to be able to walk into the Levi’s flagship store, pick up some raw denim jeans and go soak in them in a giant hot tub. The idea was part of Levi’s “Shrink To Fit” campaign. After their first soak, the jeans should be tight and form fitting, then you [...]

Nearly a century of absinth-tinence
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

Last year my girlfriend and I invited her aunt and uncle to one of Paul’s famous absinthe parties in San Francisco. They were worried about the legality and risk of a party like this, to which we responded “The parties are fine, we’ve been going for a few years now with no problems.” So the [...]

Video Dump
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

Lately my rss feed reader has been stuffed full of whack holiday specials and trite top ten lists, but a few keen videos have come out lately that I wanted to share with you guys.The first video is an imaginative retelling of Little Red Riding Hood called Little Red and the Big Red Book. This [...]

Like water for denim
Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Well, yesterday was a total bust. I was supposed to open for MC Lars in Monterey and was looking forward to it, despite being pretty damn sick. Instead of renting a car, I was offered a ride by some friends who were also going to the show, but I didn’t know when exactly they’d pick [...]

hella bootsie
Friday, December 7th, 2007

A few months ago I scored a great pair of Rocketown shoes at a Ross Dress For Less in SF.

I’m flat footed, and had actually started leaning towards shoes with more arch support (like New Balance), so I was surprised how comfortable these shoes were for me. There’s no arch support, just a flat sole [...]

Handies

I saw this awesome little hoodie in Pens and Needles on 16th and Guerero today.
Toasty, the crafter responsible for these hoodies, sews mittens onto the hoodies as an much cuter alternative to pockets. Keen idea.
