In Vancouver this time. Go here to see the flikr photo pool.
Since Chicago Critical Mass managed to get their stupid asses onto Lake Shore Drive last Friday, and the freaked out cops wrecked a car in pursuit, I imagine we’ll be looking for another spontaneous group activity here shortly. Every last Friday of […]

Here’s the logo for the new “publishing” imprint that Vern and I are getting ready to launch into action:

I use quotes around publishing because I’m not sure if printing something in your dining room is actually considered publishing yet.
I’ve spent the last 2 weeks dealing with (ordering, setting up, kicking, replacing) a baby-coffin-sized […]

Here’s the new poster I designed this week for the upcoming play by Michael Martin, creator of the big hit Verbatim Verboten. This is something totally different, obviously!

Vern and I spent the last two nights watching Rob Zombie’s two movies, House of 1000 Corpses on DVD, and, last night, The Devil’s Rejects in the theater.

Another reason I wish I lived in San Francisco:
