• Lucky Dogs and Grounded Eagles

  So it arrived in the mail whilest on the coast. A decent sized box for its thin weight confirming that P and M have pulled through, again. Rejoice and connect. The sweet memories of youth immediately envelope marshmallow daydreams beyond lucy in her graham cracker miniskirt chocolate tubetop afire. Refreshing and intimate. The crackle and snap of the “pure”. The first pulse of a sustaining beat sparks the urge. The compulsion. The dancing ensues. I’m left sticky and crumby and [...]

• Park Find 9.23.08 – Binky 24

  When will these babies ever learn? The count just increased to 24. Right there inside the dog park next to a dogless dogtag, a nameless phone number only dogtag, purple even, sits binky number 24 anticipating my arrival. Since the tag was running solo I not going to call.

• Park Find 9.22.09 – Level

  Today was full of excitement as we took over the the new old temporary dog park. It started with a little white ball.  At first I though it a ping pong ball but it was to weighty upon lifting for that.  The hard rigid plastic was smooth with a translucent milky look. Score. Soon after, I found a small acrylic level. Probably a long defunct keychain but still quite  effective in it clear transparent shell all squared up and angular. [...]

• OK now Breathe

   Hot off the press today, a cool raglan jersey for Prananda yoga studio in north portland. The classic lotus flower logo looks hot in red with a white fill.  We love you Joy. Namaste. On a different plain I just handed off the Panzergod T’s to a rather nefarious fellow. Truth be told he seemed quite a  pleasant guy. Was stoked with the black T with 2 sided discharge printing. Tight. Tonight is the 2009 Miss White Trash Pageant of [...]

• Park Find 9.15.08 – Necklace

  Today’s find is a beautiful hand-beaded necklace made of white and hematite-looking glass beads a most unfortunate loss I’m sure . It was next to a pair of black socks which I did not deem collection worthy. I did find a couple of plastic rings probably left over from some birthday party. They’re cheapie plastic and most likely Fred Meyer cake bauble. Just one of those jewelry filled days.

• Busy down under

  The chicken has been swamped and if it hasn’t been for late night walks and battlestar galactica he might have gone under. Work work work keeps this clucker on track and seeing light at the end of the tunnel*. AnnaBananna’s NW celebrated their 5000th consecutive day OPEN for business. Talk about no rest. Woah. Friends of Trees has been huge with all their plantings and volunteer forces. Somehow, well because of the chicken, Whole Foods came a’knocking and launched their [...]

• Dandy Delights

  So the monster is done. 1500+ shirts for The Dandy Warhols ready to disperse around the nation as the band readies for their month long tour promoting their new album …Earth to the Dandy Warhols… This monster… 11″ x 18″ graphic… printing three colors on both sides complete with tour dates and venues designed by Peter Holmstrom himself is a beauty. You gotta love that kind of band involvement.

• Park Find 9.10.08 – Pacifier

  It’s official. A new record has been set. Number 23 is in the house. I find a lot of binkies around the park. Those pacifiers come in all sorts of colors and combinations and sizes for that matter. Probably due to the mommy brigades out there. You’ve seen them in the mornings, the gathering of fresh moms pushing strollers in packs exercising the baby fat away. I commend them for their diligence to health and for supplying me with yet [...]

• Park Find 9.9.08 – Hat

  Cool Huck Lab hat found not far from the pond. Noticed it because of the cool distinct logo embroidered on the front only to be confirmed by bold huck lab on the back. Met a while back with Jay? to work on some projects but nothing ever materialized and that’s just fine. Though not a client of the chicken there is much respect for them doing their own thing. And its really cool. Check’em out!

• Park Find 9.8.08 – Nerf

  Today’s park find was readily located at our usual tossing spot. An orange and blue Nerf football with a small tear by the naval. While no chunks missing the tear revealed a hollow spot. Tested my throwing accuracy as we circled about. My little senorita did not like the pair of screaming balloons accompanying the nerf, at least not after I blew one up and let it fly. Won’t make that mistake again. Boy she can run fast when properly [...]
