Oh my gosh. I want to do this in Denver. Rooftop Films. How awesome would that be here? Pretty friggen awesome. That’s how it would be.

IN NYC..from Rooftop Films.

um..wow.

Wedding photos in from my best friend Paul & his beautiful and super great wife Tracy’s wedding…holy cow. Stunning. Otto Schultze Photography rocks.

This lady tore it up. Literally.. and these two..Gretchen Kantor, Paul’s stepmom and Brian Hawkins, worlds best online certified minister/rockin good ad man…doing god knows what. Up to no good for sure.

George Kantor..worlds most loveable tank fighting Hungarian and Pauls dad. I love this man as much as my own dad.

Paul on his best day eva..and Myles, Tracy’s son.

Moments before..and then after..

So..my friend Eric credited me today with what he says is his new favorite headline. (look to the right) That’s a pretty sweet compliment as he’s the copy writer, not me. But I got to thinking..you know. Bacon really is pretty spectacular. And those that know and love me most..know how important bacon is to me. I LOVE the stuff. But I’m also really..really picky about my bacon. It has to be perfect. And 9 out of 10 places do NOT cook it perfectly. So..I decided that everyone needs to know the correct way to cook bacon. So..compliments of Blogchef.net we have what looks to me like a pretty good explanation. What he doesn’t cover is the amount of pieces in the pan at one time. You usually can’t exceed 8 pieces without screwing everything up.

So there you have it.

Some gifts I’ve received. Neither cooked to perfection.

Thankfully someone came to the rescue and has graciously donated another piece of artwork to ensure that the art affectionados can again take in a private viewing in the alley.

This morning I was fortunate enough to decide to eat my current favorite cereal,  cranberry something crunch, not in the shower..but gazing out the window at precisely the moment an art affectionado came across the Alley Viewing mentioned in previous post. I was able to witness her boldly taking the condom and wrapper off the painting..first using her fingernails..then deciding to use the supplied black bra..scraped the remaining adhesive off the painting, loaded it in her Ford Explorer and drove off. I agree the condom and wrapper were really not needed. I’m glad the painting found an appreciative owner. But I’m sorry to tell the rest of you..2 readers..maybe 1..that the Alley Art Show has now been suspended until further notice.

Most things that get placed in my alley dissappear within the hour. Sometimes because of me. But this arrangement of couch, clothing and artwork has managed to remain untouched for nearly a week. The garbage men don’t even want this stuff. I really am starting to appreciate it’s ..something..whatever it is..

What was this person dealing with when they made this?

From Papermag:

“Che Guevara has become T-shirt shorthand for counterculture — most people in a Che T are oblivious to who he really was and are just celebrating the rebel in us all. In reality, Che went from being a doctor to a murderer in a wrongheaded, desperate attempt to change the world. The Communist Revolution he believed in didn’t work — and were he alive today, he would have to face that fact. Knowing that, the question is: Who would Che wear on his T-shirt? Who and what would (or could) he put his faith in?”

I’ve often struggled with the Che t-shirt movement. Seems as bad as wearing Mao gear to me. I can respect the graphic iconography..but I can’t respect what they ended up doing to their own people. Nice work on this t-shirt. Hopefully we won’t be saying the same thing about Obama in 50 years eh?
