photo by Magick’s Mom i’m not sure whether i should do this or not… not because i don’t want anyone to know about this, but because of what my friends, particularly, will think… i dug out (literally) a recording of the first time i ever “improvised” a solo with a jazz band. this is from [...]
Tagged getting old, my music, picturesi am fairly bizarre… maybe you already knew that, but if you didn’t, there it is. one of the ways i am bizarre is that i have worn exactly the same style of shoe, more or less, for the past 30 years. when i was born, i had some congenital difficulties with my legs and [...]

Tagged hobo nickels, picturesafter the panto ended for 2011 (it starts again on saturday, and runs for two weeks. get yer tickets now ’cause they’re selling out fast!) i got started making some hobo nickels. they’re not classic hobo nickels, of course, but they’re in a similar vein… and, hey… they’re only a nickel… and, as long as [...]

Tagged corruption, picturesi’m causing trouble again… people generally (in this area, at least) don’t seem to mind me wearing or displaying swastikas as long as they’re not obviously “hakenkreuz” related (i.e. they’re “different” colours than were used by the not-zees), but my new shirt will challenge those preconceived notions about colour somehow being related to meaning… maybe [...]

Tagged frustration, geek stuff, picturesyesterday we had a fez-up (left to right: Fez-Monger, Howlin’ Hobbit, yours truly, and Henrik Van Tiki who was visiting from hawaii) and the few days of not having anything specific to do gave me the time to do some research on where to get the next step of turning ganesha the vehicle into an [...]

We invented it one evening in [...]
Tagged art projects, picturesi got up at an unreasonably early hour this morning and went down to the FSM to busk. while there, i found one of the vendors had a hat for sale for $10, that i couldn’t resist. it’s not a costume hat, it’s a real, authentic, merchant marine hat, that probably belonged to an officer.
