We take a break from the usual war whines and po-mo indie irreverance to bring you a day in the life of a great man, my dad, born 57 years ago today!!

Happy Birthday, Pop!!

Actually, his birthday is tomorrow, I just had to get this up before he could see it. But see - he's celebrating already and he already has a day more to go!!! Rock on, old man!!! love, kid...

Fool for April

Hey - April Fool, did you read any good articles about the war lately?
Fool: No. Not really.

Appropriate for April Fools day - I'm reading an interview in the latest issue of bomb about Tom Sachs. I love this guy! He created an entire minature car racetrack surrounding Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation and Mies van der Rohe's furniture, a McDonald's restaurant, and 10,000-watt boom box, a ghetto, a modernist art park, a DJ station and had participants do bong hits, drink beer and wager for money. Deeper political implications of driving, modernism and project housing aside, I can't think of a better way to spend a first thursday (in this case, it happened Tuesday nights)... I think this man is the MTV Marcel Duchamp Mac Daddy for the 21st century.

Radioactivity

Been taking digital and analog pics over the weekend. Digitial will be displayed somewhere sometime soon, but in the meantime, here's a gangreen picture of me. I've since shaved off the facial hair (yesterday) when I realized how silly it looked.
Speaking of radio-active, my fave DJ is in NY for all you Seattle Expats looking to represent. (And yes, Ian - he likes Coldplay too...)
Always the morning faithfull...
