Some hot stuff at Upper Playground, like this hoodie as well as this one. Not neccasarily something I'd want to wear but the designs are pretty cool. The store in SF on Fillmore St has loads of these prints, but the art on the walls made the visit more noteworthy.

Ongoing log of quotes. Definetly varied insights, but interesting throughout.

You'd think I'd have a bunch of photo's to share from my San Francisco trip, but you'd be wrong. Most of them have some sort of horrible soft focus overtaking the majority of the pic, or the shots are just stupid. BUT, you can view this one and know that I did very little to the image in terms of adjusting (just some levels). Snuts.

Aside from growing a beard, I decided it was time for a massive haircut. Fortunately, Jamie documented the whole thing.. so go check out my mohawk. And massive props to Daniel for administering the deal.

For those of you that are impatient, you can get the Mr. Show DVD early - though who knows when that guy is going to actually ship it. This is the month for DVD's - Bowling For Columbine, Roger & Me, the previously mentioned Futurama, Mr. Show, Simpsons Vol. 3 (Treehouse of Horror next month), and.. uhhh.. the hottest use of the ultra-lame Treefrog font that I've seen in a long while.

Randomly browsing GigPosters for Programmable Press goods, and I run into PS. I think I've seen this work before but it's still worth sharing (again). Oh, and for the record - the Nick Butcher stuff is here.

Heads up, the Steve Burns album came out today - as well as the Futurama Vol. 2 DVD's. Go be a good consumer and get them both.

I can't express enough gratitude to Mr. Jamrog for his great hospitality in allowing us to stay with him in SF. Aside from it being great to have a free place to stay, he provided copious amounts of fruit, juice beverages, MUNI insight, and loads of entertaining comments. Arlo gets the massive interlocking double open-handed thumbs up.

Aside from being a good idea and a decently laid out website, this is a hot stencil too.

anyone had any experience with this camera? I enjoy my Fujifilm but it's definetly behind the times just a little bit seeing that it shoots under 2 megapixels. BeN is willing to sell me his for a reasonable price so I wondered if anyone had any input? It's a bit larger than my current cam but that focus ring is calling my name.

Note to interested readers. If you find yourself inspecting a copy of this book for possible consumption I suggest you put it down, slowly back away, and never consider picking it up again. Fortunately for you I have suffered through this novel and can warn you of it's blandness. Way way too much interjected opinion from the author, and entirely too much introspection as to what Warhol may / may not have been trying to say in his works. Not a good straightforward biography..

AND "Cremaster 3" is coming to Nashvegas. Who'd have thunk it? I put $5 on that one being "bizarre."

September 5th is the week for random movies that I never thought would make their way to Nashville. Both Melvin Goes To Dinner and Gigantic are opening. I have a feeling "Melvin" really won't be that great, but since it's related to Mr. Show I'll be there.

Oh yea, went and caught On The Speakers down on Market St. and highly enjoyed the show. Kind of drug on a bit but I think that was due to lack of familiarity with the songs. Definetly a whole lot stronger new songwriting effort for Ian than what Sharky came up with under the Creeper Lagoon moniker. Very similar CL guitar and vocal stylings, but that's fine with me.. as I really enjoyed Creeper Lagoon.

Not to obsess over facial hair or anything, but this is hands down the absolute best thing I have ever seen on the web. Seriously.

Just got in from seeing Bjork and must say that I had a great time. It was mostly a set comprised of songs from Homogenic but still varied enough to be highly enjoyable. The fire and fireworks were most unexpected but highly enjoyed. And the best part? Didn't have to sit through a moment of the opening bands! I'm so open minded, aren't I?

Also, SF has been treating us well (that would be myself and Miss SRJ). Downtown and Chinatown goodness today, and Haight St tomorrow (mmm.. Amoeba Records).

Sorry no fun links to browse.. just random insight into my day.

Off to San Francisco. Take care. I'll be back soon enough.

Check out the portfolio of Nathan Nedorostek. Love the handwriting style stuff in the "Fun Stuff" section. The Portfolio is nice too.. varied styles, all interesting to the ole eyeballs. Link via Arlo.

Check out some pics from last nights Flaming Lips / Eels show via daniel. I'm so kickin Jamie's butt in the beardcontest (as you can tell via the pictures).

Anyone happen to snag the link to the Jon Crosby (VAST) feature that was on Billboard the other day? I can't seem to find a search on their site.. way to go guys. So instead I read this Ween interview. I needa pick up Quebec.
