"I guess he's just a meal for the rest of the beach."



"Maybe't's better that way."

News You Can Use

In these troubled times it is important* to remember things like Up With People! For those who never bothered to track down what The Simpsons' Hooray For Everything! referenced, there is a handy trailer here. The trailer is for the upcoming feature-length documentary Smile 'Till It Hurts, which will premiere at Slamdance. This is important news because i worked on the thing and anticipation is VERY high on my end.

Further, I was named to the Park Slope 100 for 2008! I don't know what that means in the long run, but it's very flattering and thanks to OTBKB for thinking me a worthwhile figure in the lives of the Park Slope bands. I will be expecting whatever prize money to arrive in the mail shortly.

Lookie What We Have Here

Graffiti Monsters ended up on The Gizmodo, a Gawker-brand website I don't read! They also got my website wrong, which is a bummer!

I Even Have a Column in Ebony Magazine Called "Musings"

I have often thought that if I were forced to get a tattoo I would get "LOVE" and "HATE" on the backs of my hands like Robert Mitchum in Night Of The Hunter. This would be film-wonky and would also disqualify me from ever working in an office again. While in the shower it occurred to me that I, as a pragmatic person, would be better served with a series of helpful measures tattooed, crib sheet-style to the inside of my wrist. Useful things like hand span, foot length, average stride, arm span, etc. Wouldn't that be helpful?

I Ask for so Little. Just Let Me Rule You.

So Tod Seelie (All-Universe show photographer, citizen-of-the-world, man-about-town) and I happened to be at the same show, which I'm pretty sure is a first. It's always fun for me to see how other people judge/synthesize a shared experience. His results start here. Mine are here. Leia Jospe was also there, if we want to turn this into a discussion of how to fit three photographers into a three foot space, but as of today all her pictures are buried on Facebook.
