Happenings

Playing blog catch-up because of massive schoolwork related backlog.

1. 9/26/2009- Had dinner with some lovely friends, Lesley and John Dyer, and their positively adorable son Nicholas. I had not seen them for like, 7 or 8 years, and their son was literally in Utero last time I “met” him… The best part was that we basically picked up where we left off. So much fun. Can’t wait for round two!!

2. The Dodgers won the NL West… Think Blue™.

3. The other Blues, Chelsea FC beat Liverpool 2-0. Ballin’. Take that, A.J. Howard.

4. Found out with my buddy Dan’s help that Kinkos has a machine called a “plotter” or something which can scan a document and spit out a much en-huge-ified version for like pennies on the dollar. I made some HUGE promotional signs for less than $10. Awesome. He immense-ified one of his really cool designs where he’d destructed some type. Really cool. I love Art Center kids. We basically use our downtime to party, or make personal art….

5. Scoped out a really amazing Taqueria with the same buddy, Dan.

6. Got to meet Christina, a friend of my friend Dana. She was visiting from Philly and scoping out LA before she moves out here sometime after the new year. We went out for some drinks and there was probably more but I forget! Very cool people!

7.  I am finally giving up on the Roommate front, and moving into a one bedroom unit on November 7th, same complex though. The bonus? I get a huge patio. BBQ anyone?

Stay tuned for a brief retrospective of some of the things I’ve made for Art Center so far!
