Happy Monday. It's raining.












I would like to begin by thanking the BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED Geneva for commenting on my blog. She is a very cool cat and I feel honored to be communicating with her in this once (twice?) removed way... (ps. I would pay $900 for Hiner artwork any day)

WELL FOLKS....Today is VAN DAY! That's right. We are the proud new owners of a GMC Safari VAN.... And it's MAROON...oh yea....

In other news, TODAY IS ALSO OFFICIALLY LIANNE MITCHELL'S BIRTHDAY AND SHE IS THIRTY ONE YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!! she's really, really, really old - but she's still cute and that's ALL that matters.
















To celebrate the event we put some shrimp on the barbi Saturday night and city camped in the Mocheesmo yard (yes, like homeless people)... Very nice to sleep on the hard ground and wake up to hair of the dog....mmmm, camping.

Here is Lianne's Birthday Limerick (extended version):

Lianne Lianne, you're now thirty one
your number is SO high, but you look SO young
someday you will know
as your mind continues to grow
that Pho Oregon is better than Pho Hung...

(and that Bono is better than Oprah in more ways than THIRTY ONE)......ole!
















In other news: My blog is being a turd. For some reason, on some computers (browsers), it loads the profile and links on the bottom of the blog....I would suggest going through Mozilla Firefox, but not everyone want's to download a buncha crap...SO, I apologize if it looks funny. I probably loaded too big of a picture or something....my bad.

ON OTHER BLOGS: My good friend Stephanie has brought this blog to my attention http://scarletfever11211.blogspot.com/

It's about a girl who does art and has a shag hair cut and dresses like Debbie Harry and who is moving from NYC to Portland. There are so many things I have to say, it's difficult to organize in my mind:

1. Why Why Why Why..? If you're established AT ALL as an artist in NYC - WHY move to Portland? Isn't she just admitting that she's not that established and wants to show off in little ole' PDX. Does she realize that there is no ART here...or at least not much...and that NY is the fucking vagina of HIGH CONCEPT HIPSTER DEBBIE HARRY ART!

Listen to me people: JUST SAY NO

2. (With Stephanie's perspicacious and convenient encouragement) I am calling for a BOYCOTT of this event in time. WE MUST BOUND TOGETHER AND SAVE OUR CITY.

That means: One of you has to meet this girl at the airport (before she makes it into NE Portland) and EXTINGUISH HER...She represents the DEMISE of Portland, and soon it will be crawling with people like her, and we'll have no air to breath, and no camp sites to camp in, and WE will be lost in the SHUFFLE....We must fight to salvage any SENTIMENT (God Forbid, SOUL) this town has left....I encourage (beg) you...STOP THE MADNESS WITH VIOLENCE. It's the only way...

oh yea, we should also IMPEACH BUSH while we're at it....

In other news....I may retract my efforts to show photos at the Intel groupie bar downtown. I really want to, BUT we're going to be in Baltimore that First Thursday, it's a lotta work, I'm poor, blah blah. SURE it would be nice to have people (mainly my friends) hang out and comment on how cool I am and how great my work is....BUT at this point, it may be too much for me....oh well. (ps. feel free to email anytime and tell me how cool I am and/or how great my work is..see example below)
