Well, it is May 22, 2011 now, so it appears the zombie apocalypse I was counting on has failed to materialize. I’m going to have to get some work done and do laundry after all. Glad I didn’t do anything too embarrassing at that end of the world party. I love California and California could […]
If you are in Hollywood tonight, the Pop-Sequentialism: Comic Art of the Modern Age art show is the place to be. La Luz de Jesus gallery director Matt Kennedy curated it and wrote the 80 page catalog. Matt Kennedy has pretty much the most encyclopedic brain cavity I’ve ever come across, when it comes to […]
The fabulous Lina Lecaro just did an in-depth LA Weekly feature on long-running industrial club Das Bunker. It is interesting to read the history of Rev John and Franck’s regular Das Bunker shindig. Maybe something about Que Sera in Long Beach is good for old skool clubs, as Das Bunker started there and Release the […]
It has been a really really really good news week. First of all, the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, or DADT, was repealed. For those of you who have been living in a cave, because you hate our way of life, DADT was a Clinton-era piece of legislation. DADT was designed to make it […]

Beforehand, I am going to learn to make red velvet cake because it is Forrest Black’s birthday. Red velvet cake has […]
I’m not exactly a big tabloid reader, although I’m fascinated by the cultural impact of evolving media forms. I did watch the Edward G. Robinson classic Unholy Partners this week on TCM. Unholy Partners is a 1941 movie, a period piece about how WWI spurred sensationalist journalism but America was all done with that by […]
We’re excited to help our good fiends at Release the Bats celebrate birthday number twelve! Forrest Black and I will be on hand to have fun. We’ll be photographing a select few folks who really show off the Release the Bats deathrock vibe. If you are in California, come on out of your graves for […]
My fellow Americans, for too long we have toiled under the oppressive paw of a government that has spiraled out of control in terms of spending, military intervention, and passing laws that circumvent our God-given right not to have to introduce ourselves door-to-door whenever we move into a new neighborhood. To that end, I am […]
