went to the Static III premier last night in Tampa and i must say it was fantastic! it had an an amazing soundtrack. josh stewart did an excellent job.
the last weekend was spent in Sarasota with Jason Henry, Jimmy Lannon, Espinosa, Phillip Toye and T.J. Sparks. an initial trip for Del tha Funkee in St. Pete. which inevitably turned into a skate trip. T.J. ollied this HUGE gap to bank which was very impressive. check out jhenryimages.blogspot.com for future photos. jimmy took us to all these amazing restaurants and cafes around Sota. most of them being organic. if your ever in the downtown area check out a small place called citrus cafe. it's fabulous.
the Funkee show was out of this world too good for words. he played with Devon the Dude who had a HUGE entourage and A+ from Hieroglyphics was there too.
monday. new blog. must mean it's been a good day. woke up to rain. my favorite days are rainy. ate a free meal from the lovely hare's. missed a speech by John Kerry. missed a student getting tazored at the John Kerry speech. biked it to the post office.the library.the Reitz for some screening.downtown to fix my shoes but the place was closed.bought pinback tickets.rented 8 1/2.Persona and Invasion of the Saucer Men. i'm a sucker for old Sci.Fi. got some Serge Gainesbourg cds to give a listening to. a vonnegut book. had lunch with Chris. mmmm...tempeh. went to SGbike repair. productivity.is.good.
it's been Gator mania in Gville.
Up and coming. New Art. If you dig the coin thing, i'll be selling T's like em' soon. Keep posted for info.
J went to Surfexpo in Orlando this weekend. Brought me back this photo he found. Taken with a Hasselroid. This guy is the epitome of cool.
some jams:
Grizzly Bear's: Knife Nouvella Vague's: To Drunk To Fuck Lost by Mary Onettes The Warlocks: Move Left and Right of the Moon and Astrud Gilberto's: Trizteza
this photo is from a expiriment i took part in with some friends and Jason.
i spent over 48hrs total try to find a Super8 projector. It was almost impossible untill Roger came to the rescue. So we had this showing in the film department. CK, Heather, Roger and myself. it was a good outcome. they were shot in color negative with a Minolta XL42.
the 31st was the final FLEXfest movies. They were Polanski films. a short. and a horror. the short was called: dwaj ludzie z szafa (two men and a wardrobe) and the full length film was called: Repulsion. the third reel ended up lost. Hez brought it over the VHS the next day.
photos good enough to post. both were taken with a Holga.
so it was back to ATL for 24hours. CK. DK. Hez and myself. Tavo Carbone played at a little spot called New Street Gallery. at the bar was no whiskey. so it was PBR or Tecate. I chose PBR. whoop whoop. a lady asked me if i was a writer. i told her i was probably the worst writer she would ever encounter and she wittily replied: "there's a writer in all of us". i thought it was romantic. the marta passed by a total of 8 times. By the end of the night, we're all sitting in the perfect house drinking 5 opened bottles of Shiraz, and next thing i know, i'm waking up to the smell of vegan pumpkin pancakes. there were 4 cats. 2 were allowed out. 2 wern't. 3 were gray and 1 was orange. and there was a dog. it was 4 of us on a futon. 2 on the floor. 2 in the bed. 2 more in another bed. we fell asleep to Al Bowlly, and i remember waking up and saying something like. that's it. it's over? It was perfect.
on the 18th. we drove around looking for little 5. apparently nobody in Atlanta knows where they are, or where anything is. and they all "don't live here". at lunch i had a BLT. bought 2 postcards. and we left. the best part of road tripping is stopping at the stations in rural florida. trailers. starving cats. old candy. georgia peaches. and a 25¢ pokemon pin from the vending machine. it was radio request hour the whole ride home.
by Sunday i caught a ride to Atlanta with Sam. we spent $20.oo dollars at the pump in Georgia on CombosSnikersBeerJerkyBrowniesWaterChexandNerds. it's a bad guilty pleasure. i stayed at the RRInn. had breakfast with G. worked at Phoenix with mami. there was late night beer drinking with sammy and friends. the MARTA. five points. the japanese gardens. the next day with J. the aquarium, the best part, in my opinion, were the beluga whales. We wondered how they sleep. the jelly fish were slow and they moved in the most beautiful way and left the biggest impact. then Decatur. Belguim Beer. Cheese and Jelly. Chips and Ketchup. Coffee and Cake. Barbies on Cars. Cloves and Ciggs. Stella vs. PBR. Druid Hills. 2am Korean. and it's the end of the 4th with promised sparklers.
