You can watch me get slapped on video here..

Quick recap:

*Korean dinner kills it every time.

*Getting slapped is only fun if your drunk and on pills.

*Ferris and Kelly’s show was really amazing (so much work up on those walls).

*Puzzles can only end in chaos.

Screwdrivers and a too-late-for-deadline photo shoot from a while back and some peanut butter toast from more recently..

For some reason I can’t seem to remember my camera this month. Every time I go out to do something I forget to bring it with me. It’s not really a big deal except for the fact that this is a photo blog. The photos above don’t match at all and I tried to make up for my mistakes by using my camera phone which takes horrible photos. I’ll try to do better I promise.. there should be some 35mm stuff coming next week or so. Anyways, I went to hit some balls at the golf club near the Zoo, I ate a bunch of cupcakes (see more photos at the link - they were so good), went to a ballgame, shot some guns and mostly just hung around with Evelyn. Loafing, I’m good at that.

Oh, by the way.. This is where all the photos I told you that I couldn’t show you have been ending up. Best issue yet, so stoked. If you see me somewhere, you should demand that I give you a copy or if you’re too shy for that, you can buy them from the link below.

Titty City Issue 3

I made poached eggs for the first time. It wasn’t actually as hard as I though it would be, it just takes a bit of patience. I also went back to the pet cemetery since we were in the neighborhood and Evelyn had never been there. For some reason I could only see the sad ones this time around. I noticed that the older ones were a little more fun.. For example when a pet died in the 50’s, it would say “Sparky: A damn good dog”, while the pets who died it the 00’s all have these long drawn out and super sad eulogies. Can death never be a celebration? Also, I got a new job (one where I have to show up at a certain time), can you guess where it is from the photos? You should come say hi and watch movies with me or something..

Sorry, I have been taking a bunch of photos but I can’t post them here because that would ruin the surprise. You’ll see them in zine form soon I promise. Anyways, I went out to Treasure Island to see what fun if any could be had there. Er, so the verdict is that it wasn’t so awesome, but there were some really cool abandoned houses on the Yerba Buena side (i.e. the other side). I think I might see about renting one or two for a night. That could work, but would anyone come out there to hangout? Might be kind of creepy. Oh also, when we got to the top of the hill with the radio tower, we found about 20 cats just hanging out. It seems as though people leave food there so they just congregate and lounge up there. It was actually really eerie even in the daytime. No people, just cats.. who weren’t even scared of us. I kept expecting them to chew threw my brake line or something.

..And finally, I submitted work to the SF Weekly a while back for their annual Masterminds contest. They picked four people to win a bunch of money and it turns out that I was one of them. How cool is that? Hilary Pecis also won which was really cool since we had been drinking at the same table for like five hours waiting for them to announce the winners. I’m thinking of paying off my credit card bills (largely made up of photo paper and film), but I’m also thinking of getting a hotel room and throwing a party. Hmmm… I dunno.

Some leftover stuff from New York. There was so much more on this roll, but I can’t show it to you until Titty City issue three comes out in April because that would ruin the surprise. Also, the best part of going to Patrick and Kathy’s studio was how much they hug. Or maybe it was the worst part. I can’t tell. Perhaps I’m just getting bitter(er).

Do you like looking at blurry night photos? Cool, here is a bunch that I just took. Okay.. I went out to New York for the Hamburger Eyes book release party at The Powerhouse Arena. San Francisco rolled pretty deep with like 20 people coming out to spend some time in the city. Actually it was sort of overwhelming. I get freaked out when there too many people I know in one room so I hid in a corner with Vanessa, who is always understanding in her dealing with my multiple anxieties. I realized about halfway through the trip that it would be useless to try and coordinate with everyone, everyday so I just kind of went with the flow and waited to see what would happen. Walking across the Brooklyn bridge at 3am was fun.. until we got to Brooklyn and realized that no car service would pick us up on a random corner near the bridge. Fortunately I was wrong and one did. Then I repeated the same scenario the next night with the Manhattan Bridge which is actually not all that pretty.

Later in the week I went to the New Museum (which is fucking horrible - seriously, don’t ever go), ate and drank at about a million amazing restaurants, stopped in at Kathy and Patrick’s studio for an upcoming Fecal Face feature, and met up with some people regarding stuff I’m working on in the general scheme of things. Of course, I only got like 5% of the stuff done that I wanted to do. If you’re in New York go check out the Whitney Biennale which is going on now and this guy, who is at the Guggenheim right now.

Sorry, I know it’s been a while but I really haven’t had anything I wanted to share. Or maybe I was saving them up, or maybe I’ve been busy. I don’t know, just pick an excuse. I was doing stuff the whole time though I promise. Okay, so let’s catch up and see what I did while we weren’t talking to each other. I went on a terrible audio tour of Golden Gate Park that taught me maybe three things I would bother sharing with anyone else. It did however, give us a chance to walk around in the sun which is always a good thing. My sister was in town for one night. That’s her in that one photo up there. She doesn’t look like me. At some point I also went exploring around Lake Merced and all the rest of the parks down there. They have a driving range at Lake Merced did you know that!? ..so excited about about finding it. Then today, we took a bike ride down to Chrissy Field which eventually led me to the Lusty Lady. They weren’t looking so good today.. but it only costs a dollar so who’s complaining? Not me.

I guess I went to Austin, played in the fog, went boating, and went to a dinner party. Remember all those scenarios from the digital versions? Me too! Like I said before, bring the digital to shoot the scenery and bring the film to shoot the girl. I did, a lot. Good thing I”m good at editing myself. I don’t know how I feel about switching from black and white to color half way though. Does it hurt your eyes? Maybe I won’t post them together like that in the future. I also don’t know how the black and white roll got so washed out. I know it was bright but fuck.. the speed was right and everything. Maybe it got weird in the xray at the airport? I dunno. Sometimes contrast hurts my eyes more than unfocused-ness.
