This band knows how to tear it up...

A picture from D and B's halloween party: they had a band playing cover songs. amusingly enough, this was both their first show together and their last. they didn't even have a name. but they did let me sing a tom petty song, which people seemed to enjoy (they were all drunk) at the party.

Coolest thing ever...

Look at this thing. seriously, look at it! it's the coolest thing ever. why? allow me to use 'bullet points' to summarize my opinion on this. 'bullet points' will not hurt you:

• this thing is a keychain
• it's also in the shape of a bat
• it has a built-in bottle opener
• it glows in the dark!!!!

let me know if you agree, and if you have anything to add, try using 'bullet points' to summarize your thoughts. i'm so tired...

A Japanese Dream...

'S's show is tomorrow! make sure you come out and support her! i made this image in photoshop today. I should be getting my passport soon, but i may not be heading to the UK until sometime after the holidays. here's a brief rundown of what's been going on, ambiguous as it may be:

• Beastmen
• Power through Change
• Travel
• Show

confused? good. Aeon Flux (the complete set) is coming out on DVD in a couple of weeks. i don't want to wait until xmas, it's already been over 10 years since i've first seen the shorts on MTV's Liquid Television. the movie should pale in comparison to what that series was. if i can pick up the set, be prepared for some kind of viewing party at our place.

The Horror...

i'm a bit backed up on all the photos i owe you. the costume party, the hillbilly tournament, and tomorrow night's open-mic performance. bear with me.

anyways, i'm thinking of throwing a party in the same warehouse space as the party, and i'd need to get ahold of their media projector. it's a great space and all we need is a theme. so begins the first poll of this blog: what kind of party would you like to attend?
• german expressionist film party?
• alternative post-modern UK rock party?
• marshmallow peep party?

give feedback now.

This Friday...

...at the Bistro, i'll be performing 2 songs for open-mic night. Local blues musician Eddie Dattell and i will be doing a song together, and i'll be doing a solo bit afterward. hope to see you all there! for those of you that missed the Billy Gibson trio, you missed out. they'll be playing again in a couple of weeks. 'S's show is a week away...

All that Jazz...

Tonight at the Bistro Aroma... Billy Gibson!!! i fully expect to see you all there as this is a rare treat to experience. the place WILL fill up, so get there before 6:00. Plus, there will be beer tasting! hope everyone can make it.

Well the party went well, photos forthcoming! tonight is film noir night at our place although none of my desired netflix have come in yet.

Fangs very much...

Today was a good day. going to boris's for coffee.
nite!!!!

Owt in shaden wode...

Hello again.
"D and B's" huge halloween party is tomorrow. my job is to cook up the vegetarian chili, which is a lot of responsibility! "S's" show opening is less than 2 weeks away. it's good to be staying here, i've come to realize, but the 'powers that be' up north are now trying to make life difficult. it's now a money squabble, which i'm afraid will get bloody. other than that, the machine rolls on. haven't heard from "G" yet, still waiting for her to call.
hope to see you all at the party!

Bale-eyed was the spiten beast...

So last night I went with 'D' and 'S' to the Bistro for some live saxaphone music and coffee. it was standing-room only. afterward, i learned that hagen-daas vanilla ice cream truly is a force to be reckoned with. halloween party is this saturday, i'll try to post photos afterward.

Don't worry, we got away with it...

We're going to be watching some season-appropriate movies at our place this week and next:

Donnie Darko
Vampyr
Metropolis
'M'

Stop by if you get a chance.

Phones at the Luxor

i start my new job on monday. wish me luck.

Bleu locale...

and then i have this series of places that had metaphorical objects lying about. G, my photos aren't technically perfect. i'm working on it, but your advice is always welcome.

It's better in the Matinee...

i started a series of mystery women whose photos i find on their homemade websites. i then photoshop the crap out of them and BAM! instant body of work!
don't let history or pretentious scholars fool you: art is easy. anyone can do it.
if you'd like to submit a photo to add to the series, just email it to me.

I made this guy out of stuff in my yard...

All Hallow's Eve is fast approaching. big costume party at D and B's. costume suggestions are desperately needed.

Camera Obscura

hey it's me again, just wanted to let you know that S's illustration show/series "Grande Drama" will be at the Bistro on thurday november 10th. on a roughly similar note, people have requested (i know, i know...) that i put more of my original artwork on this site. people, i'm a graphic designer. unless you want to see ads for rebuilding engines, a device to cure osteoporosis, or a poster depicting daemons laying ruin to medieval city i don't have 'artwork' to show. and then i remembered something: i have a camera. SO, i dug out some of my amateur photos and even some digital stuff i had done over the years and will be posting it here. your comments are welcome.

Barbarism begins at home...

This is my sister-in-law, 's'. isn't she beautiful? she lives in Vegas. she keeps me in check, holds me accountable for my choices in style, and more. she's great. and she checks this site often. so take a moment, as i am now, to thank her for making my life better. if she were making it worse, she'd be written off.
anyways, i'll be posting more pictures and profiles of my family here soon. i've got great pics of my niece and nephew.

Get thee behind me, O evil forces...

So get this, i'm an uncle again. My sister, H, has given birth to a little boy, Damien (the chosen one, aspiring champion, beguiled gem of the gods). He has lots of black hair and mother and child are doing fine. Once she recovers, she'll need to get off her butt and call me.

Power Through Change...

I'm not moving to Chicago. I'm now a graphic designer for Sabertooth. Yea!
I read an article which blurs the line between good and evil. basically, there is neither. only our perception. and unlimited power comes with the willingness to change any and everything about one's self. at least, that's what was promiesed to me.

The Miserablist

Back from chicago. some people have found this page, although i don't know how. welcome lil s, and c. S (the roommate) is having a show at B's on November 10th. she may start a blog here to keep everyone in the loop. i'll post more later as i have a lot to tell but am a bit indisposed at the moment. almost forgot. the image is from S, but won't be part of the upcoming show. the show includes new paintings inspired by Wagner's operas. also, franz ferdinand will be playing las vegas in 5 days.
