time for booty
28 February 2006 | Uncategorized | No Comments
I’ve always wanted to drop a variety of madness at one of DJ Puppet’s Booty parties up in the hood in North Portland. This Thursday, March 2nd it will finally happen. I’ve always appreciated the chaotic energy of the Booty parties and with some subwoofer power brought in for the occasion I will [...]

So, I have a laptop that likes to act up occasionally and delete things I’m in the middle of writing, like say the blog post I was just in the middle of composing. Arggh. I’ll recap. I’m quite tired. Anjali and I DJed Andaz on Saturday and I am feeling the [...]

Thanks to Lady Connie and Stylus 503 Anjali and I will have to spend the day digging through the crates for loveless/heartbreak records for Valentine’s Day at the Gotham Tavern.

sleeper leads to point blank

So, thanks to an Amazon.com customer review I learned that Sleeper actually follows Brubaker’s overlapping book, Point Blank. Fortunately Powell’s had a used copy so I plowed through that one. Very drunk, very violent “superhero” with memory problems. I’m glad I read it after reading so much of the Sleeper story because [...]

Sleeper
5 February 2006 | Uncategorized | No Comments
So, thank you to Mr. Pena I am three trades into the Sleeper series by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. I remember Ed from back in his “Lowlife” days and actually met him in Seattle way back when through the esteemed Mr. Pinkham. Back then he was all anti-superhero/mainstream comics so it’s funny [...]

Okay, so I wrote the following post when I first got back from the gig and I was PISSED. I want to say right here that I don’t intend for this to reflect negatively on the sponsors or the many fabulous people who worked the event. The sponsors were very cool in hiring [...]
