I took a break from my weblog in the weeks leading up to the Fools Ball, and it's taken me a while to get back into keeping it updated. I've also started working on a new weblog project--that of the Stinktank.
So what have I been up to?
I've been doing a lot more cooking--check out my recipes section for
new additions. I've been taking advantage of the cast-iron pan on the
third floor to work on my Omletteer superpowers.
My other new superpower is shelf-building; I helped Matt build a
kick-ass CD shelf for his new studio, and a bookshelf is in progress.
Tonight Erin and I are throwing a birthday party for ourselves (I went
out to dinner on my birthday, but never had a real party). Tomorrow I
want to get my bike fixed and check out garage sales.
I love the summer . . .

Andre the Giant has a posse -- 7'4", 520 lbs.
In 1988, Shepard Fairey moved to Providence from South Carolina to attend RISD. At the time he was already into punk and skate culture, but it was the sticker scene in Providence that played an integral role in his artistic development. Fairey goes so far as to say that it changed his life--and he's right. In the summer of 1989 he put up the first Andre the Giant sticker. Today that image--the stenciled black-and-white face, the crude handwriting, the enigmatic message--can be found around the world. You've probably seen one, maybe in the airport, maybe in a bathroom. In fact, once you start noticing the stickers, you'll realize how widespread they are.
