Spent part of yesterday night working on work stuff. Tonight as well. Things are picking up on the work front, and it looks to be a pretty busy week or two coming up. Lame entry for tonight, but I’ve done nothing but work stuff so far. And now that I’m done, I want to get …
Almost two years back, Justin did his first gig at Clubfoot. Tonight marks another pretty big turn, as he’s been given an official residency there. From here on out, he’ll be tending the sounds every Sunday evening. Headphone hook, DJ Booth. What I think is most impressive about Justin is his focus. After grad school …
Tonight there was a Dirty Found show at Corbett vs. Dempsey,which Liz and I attended. It’s been almost two years since my last Dirty Found show, so this was a nice chance to actually spend more than 5 minutes in attendence. Interior shot, entrance. Julie was working the front door, and I felt a bit …
Just a note – beneath this entry will be an entry for Dirty Found, a sister publication of Found Magazine. And for those who aren’t familiar with the acronym, NSFW means “Not Safe For Work.” So if you can’t view nudity or can’t listen to vulgarity, perhaps you should save the stuff (below) for when …
Now that Liz’s taken a leave from her job at Crate and Barrel (and that she’s finished her class), the two of us have a lot more time to just hang out and tool around the city. Case in point this afternoon, when we learned of the Newberry Book Fair (at the Newberry Library). Big …
Met up with Dave and Justin at Happy Village, for some prelimiinary discussions on his website. So far, Justin and I will be working together, along with a designer friend named Emme (who I think is in Australia). Should be a fun collaborative project, and I can’t wait to start building. We hit a good …
As I was leaving my apartment, I paused to take another “in progress” snapshot of the yard. The guys who were working on the stonework were still around (today was the first day I’ve seen so many folks working at once), and I asked to take their photograph. I’m not sure which guy is Tony …
So a little backstory: Liz had a scooter prior to her Vespa. The original was a Vino, and it got stolen. After the theft, Liz bought the Vespa. A few months later, the Vino turned up abandoned, and the police recovered it. For the past few months now, the Vino has been at her folks’ …
To: FelixFrom: AlexSubj: Same Thing Happened to Me it was the summer of ’97 and it was hot (you were there you remember). I was living with Lloyd, Camellia, etc. and the thermostat was one of those round ones, the old kind. We hadn’t touched it since Spring. One day Camellia in the middle of …
In high school, Felix owned an air-brushed Queensrÿche jean jacket. About thirteen years later, he got the band to autograph it.
Felix may be done with heavy metal, but the music always seems to find him.
In the seventh grade, Felix made a replica of Steve Vai's guitar in Shop class. It remains in his room at his parents' house. And it remains awesome.
