It feels good to be done with this thing finally. Now I can sit back and relax for a while. The only problem with that plan is that I have so many ideas for new projects now!
Come by and see my wall! 9th floor on the side overlooking the Nationals Stadium!
No commentsArtomatic Installation Time Lapse 4, originally uploaded by pillpusher.
Wade just posted this time lapse video of us installing at Artomatic. We finished the day about 98% done. just a few little details left. I think I can get there tonight and finish up. Also I just want to see the choas of the last day without being stressed myself.

Kip and LaFawnduh
The REAL Slim Kip
I sometimes find it too easy to make fun of the tourists in the DC area, they’re just comical stereotypes sometimes. But I cannot pass up these two. I actually walked back to take a picture of this. If you’ve seen Napolean Dynamite then you might remember when his brother Kip meets his new girlfriend from the internet he starts to dress “Thug” … baggy shorts, a doo-rag and big gold chains. Well today I found them on a vacation to DC. I didn’t get the best picture because I was trying not to use a flash. I want to be clear that he is wearing a doo-rag and not a baseball cap, that would have been totally different.
Later!
*update* – This picture really doesn’t do it justice, you’ll just have to trust me.

After setting up some lights and beiing generally frustrated with our frame lock system. Wade and I decided to check out the Nationals game last night. It was a really fun time! They’ve set up a “Beer Garden” out side, with a band… and cornhole courts. That’s right Cornhole… the game of champions. So after spending the first two innings schooling fools in some cornhole we decided to go inside. It was like the rapid fire tour of the stadium. First couple innings we sat at “The Red Porch”. Which isn’t bad, Its a really good view from basically dead center field.

You can have a good time for “Cheap”, it’s still the $6 beers, but if the ticket was only $5-10 then it makes it worth it.
After a while we went up to our seats. We weren’t sitting on a light pole or anything, but they were up there. Got a Ben’s half smoke and took in the next two innings. Still not a bad view from up there and the glass railings are a nice touch.

We left after the 7th inning because we had been at work all day and wanted to get out of there. The Nats rallied to win the game (shocking) without us anyway. I think I’ll go back. It’s not a bad happy hour scene, but with out happy hour prices.
No commentsThis is a video of wade putting down the final (hopefully) coat of paint. We’re going back tonight so I think we’ll have actual things hanging on the wall.
ACTUAL THINGS, can you imagine!!

I forgot to post this video of Wade and me painting the wall for ARToMATIC 2009.
No commentsI just pulled out a nose hair that most people would be happy to have growing on their heads. This is happening a little more frequently than I’d like. Every once in a while I get “Lumberjack Hairs” on my eyebrows, they’re twice as thick and long as normal hairs. Now they’ve moved south into my nose. Is there something about growing older that you need these giant hairs to protect you? Does evolution know that there are giant germs out there looking for me and that these are the last line of defense? It’s only a matter of time before they start coming out of my ears.
We need to stop this great migration!
Is there some kind of fence or border patrol that can keep these hairs out?? They’re taking jobs from all the regular hairs on my face and making my look like a young Andy Rooney.

Do you ever get dressed in a hurry in the morning, but still feel good about it. Then you get to work and look down and realize that you’re wearing the dirtiest pants possible? It looks like my crotch has been groped by a West Virginia miner. I think this is the best argument for always buying dark khakis.
Oh well, lets just hope people at work don’t look at my crotch very often.
No commentsFrankie is a weird one.
I have no real proof that he’s the tallest cat, but he sure seems that way. I’ve never met another cat that’s as lanky as he is. He really likes to flaunt it also, he’s always standing in an “Egyptian statue pose” or just prancing around the house.
