Some really nice acts this past Friday @ the Unurban Cafe Open Mic. I definitely hope to see a few of these cats back there again.

I think missing posts is going to be my new thing. It's been quite a non stop weekend. Here is a lackluster post to start the catch up.

This is Sludge Mansion. This is also the first photo that has automatically embedded geodata in it. I got a new gadget, and have plans to make use of it, once I figure out all of its quirks.

Here's my limited Flickr map. Theres a bunch of manually placed BOND images on there from long ago as well. If only Flickr was owned by Google...

Today is a sad day for me. The one and only Geocache I hid has gone MIA. It is especially a bummer since none of my personal friends who geocache successfully found it. If you don't have any idea what this means, click the image above or look it up yourself.

It is time for a new cache...

Here's a couple of pages from Unurban Cafe's Friday Open Mic Night that I'm always talking about. The past 2 weeks I've gone, shit just wasn't poppin' off like it normally is.

Dude! Thanks to Pix's sister Monica @ Let's Do Something Awesome for bringing us to Watts Towers and Hawkins House of Burgers today.

Go there yourself! It was effing sweet! Just beware the size of the double cheese burger if you are a little lady. Woo hoo!

Wait... just where exactly in the fuck is my little brother?! I just had a nice 90min catchup conversation with the little 18 year old fucker, a SAW gunner in the 82nd Airborne Army Division, and finally asked him his location.

If you wanna see some context, check out Al Asad Airbase on Google Maps. Zoom in, you can see tons of helicopters and stuff. Pretty gnarly.

He assures me that he and his fellows are in no danger whatsoever, but I must still say, stay safe out there boys.

Almost forgot to post tonight. I'm gettin' sloppy. Sometimes random shit is left on the windows outside the studio.

Sometimes I do digital paintings for my mom as gifts to her friends and family. Here I am posing with my masterpiece @ The Very Best Cookies Company (now defunct I believe) owned by one of her best buds Susan.

That's Susan on the left, and my mom on the right. Painted circa Nov 2007.


And this one's is more recent, thats my Aunt Ruth on the left, mom again on the right. Painted circa August 2009.

Both paintings based on photos as if it weren't obvious.

If you follow BOND, this will look familiar to you. There is more than meets the eye. Keep your eyes peeled on the streets of LA for such things.

Today was a beautiful day. But I stayed inside doing my taxes and playing Modern Warfare 2. :) This shot is from circa June 2008.

Between waking up to a beautiful day, biking around and getting sweet breakfasts with my lady, practicing for a COD match, then prepping for and running BOND, I completely fucking forgot to post yesterday.

I'm ashamed and saddened. But I take comfort in the fact that it never once crossed my mind. My main goal is to avoid not doing it because of laziness. Anyways, the subject matter of todays post reflects my mood about missing yesterdays post.

Inspired by Dylan Spears (visit his Flickr) fascination with the vagrants of the world, heres a few shots of some "undesirables" in and around Santa Monica.

Holy shit! 50 days in a row without missing an update?!

I had wanted to do something more luxuriant to celebrate this momentous occasion, but today is a busy day so you'll have to settle for this old photo of me looking cool. I really miss these sunglasses.

circa april 2008
