i have a straw and my straw reaches acccrrossssssssss the room...05/23 by SC

Oh no! The most tempting and delicious late night treat of all time (at least since 1927, just ask Danny Plainview!) sets up shop too close and too soon. The 1-2 punch of Hamburger Haven and Millions of Milkshakes within walking distance of my home will surely account for many, many hated Sunday mornings in the Summer of 2008. Because I surely, without a doubt, no question in my mind, will DRINK. IT. UP.
DRAINAGE!
kj at the el rey in la this saturday the 24th of may. ok?05/21 by SC

My boy has been hitting it hard out there and is back in LA for a little Fireworks-at-Lake-Michigan action this Saturday night. If you're anywhere near Southern California this weekend, there's no better way to settle into Memorial Day.
Kina Grannis, whom I believe you also know, kicks off the night.
The Ruse hit the stage after, and Kelley finishes up what should be a killer evening.
Advance tickets are available

naaa naaa na na, wait til i get my schedule right05/19 by SC
Still can't believe I haven't cracked
Bright Shiny Morning since I picked it up last week. Either way, just a reminder that it came out on Tuesday and you might still have a chance to catch a reading on the book tour.
And say what you will about
Frey, that
first book still stands as one of my favorites. Try not to let your impression of the man stand in front of a brilliant piece of work.
I mean, seriously -- Dr. Seuss said he was a DOCTOR even though he barely got his Bachelor's Degree! I don't see people boycotting
Horton Hears A Who or making bonfires out of
The Butter Battle Book and
Hop on Pop. Oprah and Larry King aren't trying to stonewall
The Sneetches or
Sam I Am on national TV. Think about it - some dude telling you he was at a wild party last night, bro, it was insano vs. some dude telling you he has a degree signifying the highest level of expertise in his field? Trust me, I'm a doctor?! No thank you sir, I'd rather hang with the guy with the awesome root canal story.
"csi: miami" tonight05/12 by SC
If you're near a TV tonight, check out "CSI: Miami" on CBS - 10 PM ET/PT.
Press release (at a size likely too small to read, that's how I roll):

There's just the 1 scene, but the stakes are high tonight in Miami-Dade County.

Some tweaking to be done, but a few samples from the first round:
Cool as Helvetica! (can't show you the front just yet)

Mmmmmmm, metallic thread:

Happy Mother's Day.

One of the options for pre-orderers (don't hate cause they're in the know!)

A little collabo that came out REALLY nice - tweaking for the final, but this is gonna be a nice piece, limited to a few hundred shirts:

Final to be posted soon... recognize the logo?
