It’s A Catastrphe Another weighty telephone directory showed up as a blight on my lawn yesterday. Before I take it down to the garage and feed it to the chop saw, I thought I’d share with you, all the fine business establishments here in Portland that have chosen a name that really takes control of …
Hell-O-Ween There is something about the late October air, the quickening onset of the darkness, the slow, amber laced death of my Japanese Maple tree, and the approaching witching hour of Halloween, that has turned all my attentions to the sonic appreciation of Metal. The more horrifying the better. Luckily all this will come to …
The Buccaneers of Elliot Bay Another great trip up to Seattle this past weekend. Partied with Brother J and the rest of the Wages of Sin at their historic record release party. Sea-shanties have never sounded so good. The gig was at the Jules Maes, Seattle’s oldest bar (founded in 1888). We began the evening …

Another Skelton interested in Typography? …

I felt pretty good about the nice laminate flooring I installed in the downstairs bathroom last night but after catching a glimpse at the fog infused architecture my spider buddy rocked over night, I feel …
The Luxury of Knotty Pine Just returned from a relaxing retreat in the upper most point of the State of Washington. The beautiful Semiahmoo Resort was our destination. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a getaway. They got one hell of a cheese plate you can order up to your room. The resort …
Customize Your Friday A wet Portland Friday is upon us. Flapjacks are sitting heavy in the belly and it’s time to get down to some work before we throw in the towel on this week. Portland welcomes the Fucking Champs tonight at Sabalas. Massive amounts of guitar pyrotechnics are what’s need to round out the …
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 My stepfather, while on a recent trip to Los Angeles, visited the Justice Brothers Museum and took amazing photos of some of the old race cars that they had on the museum floor. He emailed me a few of the cars and I was loving …
