First off, this weekend was 800 Beloved's show at the stick with Office, I won't even bother to mention the other two bands as I just want the 110 minutes or so of my life back that I wasted by having to sit through them. ZZZZZZ! Anyway, 800 and Office rocked, if they are playing anywhere near you, drop whatever you are doing and go see them, just bring something to knit (or quite a fair amount of cash for the bar) if some crap classic rock band get shoved bewtixt them.
Friday night was spent in the screenprinting sweatshop, hand printing limited edition serigraphed CASSINGLES, (yes, kids, cassingles...tapes...ROCK!) and silkscreened tshirts.
Cassingle jackets
Tshirts everywhere
Tshirts detail
You can buy them here at 800 Beloved's MySpace. They're totally a deal.
Shirt graphic and cassingle graphic by Mike Doyle, printing by me. (There's something to this brains/brawn combo.) Heh. I taught Sean to print cassingles. He's really anal and makes quite a good printer. I'd hire him as slave labor any time.
It was an excellent day in the studio, I don't think I've ever had so many people in there all at once, it was a rather warm and fuzzy feeling, especially after the mountains of mussels, pomme frites and amazing Belgian beer at the Cadieux Cafe after breaking for some very necessary dinner. I can't emphasize how awesome Cadieux is, for $15, you get the most massive mountain of well prepared mussels...this hole in the wall is hands down better than the fanciest places I've ever been.
Saturday was Dorkwave vs. The Cavity Creeps, where the 800 shirts were also lovingly modeled:
I have more Dorkwave pictures, but they're completely underwhelming. Thank you to the Dorkwave boys for inviting me to play a few records this time. It was REALLY fun...playlist soon. :) Closing out the night with The Pet Shop Boys' It's a Sin was definitely a gay old time. ;)
Work hard, play hard...
(back to work)
Over the next few months I'll be working on a huge commission for wrestling superstar Johnny Nitro. Someday I'll tell my 4th grade wrestling story. Maybe not. We'll see. Nedless to day, there is going to be a massive faux fur coat in my studio's near future. I'm pretty effing excited.
