They Came to Rob Las Vegas Back from another tour of Vegas. I finally got eight full hours of shut eye and I’m ready to report on the grand time that was had by all. The drinking started early in the Minneapolis airport and continued on pace throughout the sky. As is always the case …

Inside Bet on the Straight Slide to Debtors Prison Another feast come and gone. I got ambitious yesterday and whisked up a killer vegetarian gravy. I made it with walnuts which I believe rounded out the taste nicely. James Bond’s Thunderball was on the television. James Bond and cooking are a match made in heaven. …
Best Band If anyone knows how I can get ahold of the band pictured above, I’d be forever in your gratitude. I’m not sure what kind of music they play only that I want to be apart of it. I’m just sure that me and my melodica would be a real asset to their sound …
T.V. = Total Violence Wow. What a weekend for violence. Flipping on the tube this weekend was akin to putting a big stethoscope on the heartbeat of America, and that heart is beating out a heavy war drum pattern.

A Good Day For Up For some reason The Pixies show last night, has me thinking about Dr. Seuss today. Not really sure what the connection there is but I’ll go with it because it led me to a great article by John Fea on Thoughts on a Seussentenial. A reflection of the American moral …
Festivals I’m currently suffering from a serious case of leaf bag envy. It ain’t listed in the DSM-IV as a psychological disorder, so I’m guessing it’s just a seasonal thing – but still. I thought I was big shit cause I had like nine, 45 gallon bags bursting with leaves that I had placed on …
War Corporatism The folks at Knife Party have put up a beautiful and meticulously designed video exploring the role of US imperialism. The bright side of four more years of Bush will no doubt be the amplification of creativity.
Framing Solutions Problem: I like art. I like to purchase art. I like to purchase prints. Prints are probably my favorite. Most of the prints I buy are from local artists. Most of the prints I buy come unframed. Most of the prints I buy are of odd (original) dimensions that don’t fit into off-the-shelf …
