There's Nothing Wrong With You (Hopefully)



Something about Fecal Face made me go and buy Michael Sieben's art biography called There's Nothing Wrong With You (Hopefully) UPPER PLAYGROUND // GINGKO PRESS.   

Sometime ago I edited a small video essay on Michael (Soon to be posted) with Jeremy Lavoi of TeamJaded .  Something about his art I could relate too. Strange creatures that seemed to be complacent with heavy burdens. Obviously I am not an art word doctor. I don't know, he just has some cool stuff.

Fecal Face


Just Reminds you of those summer dayz with nothing to do but skate, surf and drink beer.  This is a fantastic creative world of misfits and twits.  People think strangely. This proves it. Fecal Face


These folks are celebrating the 10 years of trippy.  Here is an SF Weekly article that talks better about it than I ever could. But maybe talking or reading isn't always the best way to take in the  Fecal Face.

JJ Grey & Mofro Fan site: www.mofrofans.com

Ok I just followed up on a comment from the one Mr. Clay. Seems he has put together a fantastic website for all things related to JJ Grey and Mofro. Check it out!  In one day I have gone from not knowing a single thing about this band, to wanting to see them play live. I guess this is how the internet works!

CNET Guy and Retail Media Producer

Coffee with Heather. Wow how we miss her antics here. She is one funny woman!

I remember this moment well. We were in the neighborhood Starbucks avoiding work when Heather noticed Brian Cooley, CNET Guy, standing in the line infront of us. She starts pretending she is starstruck and I snap the picture. Not 10 minutes before we were editing one of his spots for a retailer TV Wall.

JJ GREY & MOFRO

JJ Grey!



JJ Grey & Mofro a nice little southern sounding funkish blues band. The newest album just came out and it sounds super clean.  Very excellent production with some insanely good retro sounds on original tunes. Good song writting and toe tapping beer guzzlin groove.  They will be at the Fillmore Friday Sept 24th.  I would be interested to see what they do live to some of these songs.

Yonder To Play the Hardly Strictly Blue Grass Festival

For those of you who haven't "gotten" bluegrass you need to check out Yonder Mountain String Band. These folks are amazing. A fresh traditional take on standard bluegrass. Original, driven, and honest. The harmonies will make your hair stand on end and your brain will spin at the sure speed of their breakdown.  All in all a fantastic band.


For those of you on the Bay Area thang, they are playing the Hardly Strictly Blue Grass Vegetable

Ghosts in the Hollow

Here is a short about the world of Coal Miner Towns.  The high quality HD clashes with the Low fidelity music track to create a creepy journey back in time. 

This video proves that special effect really aren't needed.

Los Gatos to 4th & King pt1

Neil is a lawyer. A very powerful one.  He once told me a story about his work. It involved a murder. His story was gross and funny.  Neil likes stage acting.

Kegs Water Party

Just got back over the hill from a great afternoon next to a pool. Craig's pool.  Brought the kids, suncreen, floaties, and diapers. Before we could even get into the house the kids were asking for some of Uncle Craig's Chocolate Chip cookies.  Once we got in there, they were not to be disappointing.

As we walked up the driveway we were greeted by Jonty and his empty cup. "Knew I would run into you if I left the pool" he tells me.  As we walk into Craig's house, Olive greets us at the door full of grace and warmth. The kids give her a HUGE hug. Even Mark! I believe he likes her a ton.

Olive instantly goes into making sure that we are taken care of..Food,Clothes,Drink, The How are you's and lets go to the pool words.  The place is shining from her hosting abilities. It was amazing...Brie,Salads,Fruit, Beer, dips, chips and booze. It was all spread out in such a tasteful manner that it made Martha Stewart look like a scum bag. Lets just say it was nice!

Moe walks in fresh from saving someones life. He grabs a beer, and we chat. He punches the Television and breaks it to show me what a man he is. I grab a knife and stab a random fish in Craig's fish tank and then swallow it whole.  He is not impressed. I spit in his face and he breaks my nose. It goes on like this until Tiffany comes in.  "Hey Aaron", she says.  Hey I say. It goes on like this. Then we go to the pool.

The pool is hosting Craig's sister, parents, Matt, Jonty, Chris, Erin,Shelly, and some others that I don't know.  The kids swim, and swim.  It was a a big end of the summer Party.  A perfect way to send it on it's way. Thanks Craig.

RaD

Skating the park bench at Vasona. Circa 1988 Those people in the back were probably thinking I was a asshole for riding on the table they wold eat lunch on.
This is 1988-1989is.  Jason Inay had the launch ramp that Chris stead built for me. The transition on the the thing was ridiculous.We would skate is religiously after school and on the weekends.

Disneyland 2010


Last week we took the kids to the happiest place on earth for 5 days. It was their first time.  Kim and I decided that to make the trip even more special, we would book our hotel reservations at the Disneyland Hotel. A wise choice dats4sure!  I was nervous because some people in the reviews I read had said that it was old and run down.  Those reviews couldn't be further from  the truth. While it wasn't the most modern hotel, it had tons of Disney charm and the service was outstanding. But enough hotel review. It was a fantastic place to stay!

It took us 10 hours to get to the hotel by way of 101.  We unloaded the bags at the curb and I went to park the car so that we wouldn't have to pay the 17 dollars a day for the valet.  As I was searching for a place to park, I got a text from Kim who was supposed be checking in. She was stuck at the entrance unable to go in. Evidently Mark wasn't having it. Once he caught a sight of Goofy he got spooked. He locked up and wouldn't budge! When I arrived at the door after parking, Mark was tracking the giant puppet man with a instinctive survival glance. It was super intense.So I wrapped him up in my arms and we went into the lobby. Elisa was exactly the opposite. She ran over and gave the Goofy a huge hug and posed for pictures. She was STOKED!!  The stage was now set for how the kids would react to the characters.

After we unloaded our bags in our room we headed for the park. We opted to walk through downtown disney. When we got there we headed straight for to the mad hatter and had some Disney ears made.
