GOOD STUFF! 11/22/2008

A few years ago I was asked by my friends Steph and JRC (who run the trunkspace) to contribute some of my "Photobooth Art" to there 3rd Annual Photography Show. I spent a lot of money on this project (that i think i am just breaking even on now) called "let's play dress up". I had a handful of my friends come take fun photobooth pictures with me at a mall in Phoenix, AZ and we put on fun/silly clothes, masks, outfits, helmets...etc. i cut all of the photobooth pictures out individually and put magnet on the back of them and have sold them for $3-$4 a piece since then (at art galleries and random shows and such).

And you can now purchase the remaining few photo magnets ONLINE! JUST CLICK RIGHT HERE!

here are a few of my favorites.







Last night was such a fun show @Rocky's Place. All the bands were a ton of fun and it went from 8:00pm to 2:30am. At midnight the cops showed up to turn the party off, because the show was happening in a residential area (next to an apartment complex) so we moved the party to Hood Ride which is this pretty cool place over on 5th St. and Roosevelt Rd. in downtown Phoenix that fixes up old bikes. The night started with a fun/silly performance by Ray Reeves and the Phoenix $uns and then Fathers Day played and tore the place up, trying to build hope in the hearts of young americans everywhere. After the Fathers Day set I headed down the street to Circle K to get some water (since the only drinks available at the house was beer) and i missed Bolt! but i heard them from outside the Circle K and they sounded awesome as always. Painkiller played a very joyful set that was more background music than anything but people still enjoyed it. Skinwalkers played a short 20 minute set that got everyone going crazy and having fun! and I think they are my new favorite local band, because the vibes and energy and music and show...everything is just so positive and fun. And if you haven't checked them out yet. You should. This is when the cops showed up and turned the party off. But only for a moment. Because soon everyone was over at hoodride enjoying The Hooves, who were fun. (lots of sleazy shuffle beats and sing along) And then the moment i know i was waiting for finally came but it almost became a disaster. Treasure Mammal showed up to play another one of his life changing performances and the people at Hood Ride (i think it was them but i am still unsure) turned off the PA system. All hope was about to be lost until Abe (T. Mammal) said "fuck it! let's party anyway!" and had the crowd join him in a two song accapella jam. Then some guy jumped on drums and started playing a beat very similar to "the Bambi Jam" so Andrew, Tristan and I got the bambi jam started with a handful of people, which later turned into "poop song #1". It all ended very abruptly and we all went home with smiles on our faces.

Now onto the Good Stuff happening tonight...

the legendary Green Jelly (formerly Green Jello) who became well known for the hit "3 little pigs" are playing tonight at The Sets in Tempe, AZ (93 E. SOUTHERN AVE.) w/one of my favorite bands of all time The Radioactive Chicken Heads. And I just heard a pretty cool band called Rosemary's Billygoat

PS: here are some sweet pictures from fathers day's set last night!
