2 minutes to what?

Had a fantastic weekend back east with family and good friends. quick trip, but jam packed. Got to see Iron Maiden with MC and Djim in Boston. Holy crap. Talk about walking straight into 1985. No they are most definitely not aging rockers who should put their guitars in the closet. They played a totally oldschool set that had me grinnin' the whole time. Unbelievable. A special shout out to the girl who came up to us with eyes as big as saucers claiming she had an acid tree growing in her yard in montana.


... next day we headed down the cape and stopped in at one of my idols houses. Edward Gorey. They have turned his home into a museum of sorts, trying to preserve it as he left it (somewhat). Very cool indeed.

june 14th was the annual flagday bash of at Jills. The Juice Factory no longer exists, but the old crew remains. What better excuse to act like a silly american and do red, white and blue jello shots in traffic.

The new york times just did a feature on the back pages of Mad Magazine with a little interactive site that lets you see them over the course of decades. Show me a kid from the 80's that didn't just love these. View it here

So what is the abhorrent trend with designer bullshit? I turn on le computer and I see that the google header is fancy in a reprehensible neo-80's kind of way. I double click and find out that its some special "artist theme" available for 1 week only! I buy a soda in 7-11 and it comes in a hip bottle with graffiti all over it, and i silently squeal "oh my gawd, I can't believe it's pepsi". Today I drove through BK for some fries (my bad) and all the packaging says "designed by sean john" with a big ass signature of sean john all over everything.

I don't get it people. If I'm going to buy shitty corporate junk once in a great while and hit up unavoidable mainstream things like google, I want it to look and taste like shitty corporate junk. It confuses my soul when I think there might be something artsy about the General Mills or Pepsi corporations. Stop it.

p.s - were those fries damn good. there I said it.
