I Need to Say This, Episode 2: Subconscious Imitation = Highest Form of Flattery

So I found a hat that looked a lot like a sheep (they told me it was for a lion?) in a costume closet of a Chicago storefront theater. I put it on, put some paper in my mouth (cuz sheep like eating paper, ask any of 'em), and told Annie T to take a picture of me. After looking at it, however, I realized that I was doing something far more involved than just being an adorable paper bag-eating lamb...


I was emulating Matthew Barney in Cremaster 3.


And I didn't plan it. Though I have been reading that huge Cremaster book every night before I go to sleep. This makes me want to leave my office, dress up like a goat, wear a reeeeally tight corset, and play with Vaseline. Obviously I'm destined for it.

My Weird-Ass Band and its Weird-Ass Everything, Episode 3: Camera Whores

First of all:

We've got a show coming up, and it's another hot collaboration (no vagina this time). We wanted to be VintageClassy for VintageClassy Cal's.



I take a lot of pictures of Ryan and Justin and I need to dump some somewhere. This is mostly because I like to take pictures when I'm drunk, but also because they're oddly photogenic:






A typical band rehearsal.



You can't tell, but they're actually making fun of me. But don't they look adorable? Gay men certainly seem to think so. They're also being good sports; I made them go to the Brauhaus cuz I wanted a Bavarian Pretzel (jaaaaWHOL) and they went, even though the beer is overpriced. What a couple of Awesomes.

I Draw at Work, Episode 4: Scan Before Delivery

I made this one last week. Ones like this one make me love my job. Let's say the word 'one' again.

Proof I am an Adult, Episode 3: Bag It Before You Tag It

Sometimes I don't stay at home. In these cases I am either at my bass player's apartment (eating ramen, watching awesome movies) or I'm at Annieliese's (eating popcorn, watching awesome movies). Monday (or was it a tuesday) night found me at Annie's. Her roommate gave me a sleeping bag with which to sleep. I, being a level-headed adult, decided to get warm immediately by wrapping myself up with it.



By 'wrapping myself up' I mean 'wear the sleeping bag upside down, demand someone take a picture, and slowly lose oxygen.'
