black dots show!

i'm going outta town tomorrow night so i won't have time to properly hound you to go to this thing... so mark your calendars i'm only gonna say it once! (and then a bunch more like the day before the show happens...)

spread the love, tell your friends, and remember - support the arts, kill the black dots.

i dont want a porno website!

ahahahahah okay so things are gonna start slowing down finally, thank god. except that this week i've got a little painting to do that was commissioned by biggerkrissy, and possibly a new concert flier and maybe a cd cover for the black dots first real gig at a real venue, and then there's catching up with people before we head to josh's mom's for the week of xmas and so on and so on...

so it's not slowing down much, but it's slowing down a little.

bazaar bizarre was a blast yesterday! met some fun people, sold some work, ate a deeeelicious chicken burrito, what more could you ask for? i'll tell you what more i could ask for. solid gold toofises with diamonds in em - bling bling mutual funders!

anyhow, i'm off to clean up the hurricane that blasted through our house over the past few weeks. i could totally go for a cupcake today.

points alert!

hey if you can tell me a good way to get a phone message off my phone and onto my computer or a cd somehow, i'll give you a thousand points!

winston churchill, we hardly knew ye

so i'm waiting patiently, but not too patiently for the folks at cars 4 charities to email me back. they're going to let me know how soon they can take chuckles the happy weenmobile clown car of doom off of my hands. hopefully it's before thursday's street sweeping so i don't have to remember to move it again, but that's not really likely.

it's the end of an era, people. the car that took me to wisconsin and back again, the car that ate cv boots like they were going outta style, the car that's been dinged and beat to shit repeatedly over the past 7 years, it's on its way out the door. i feel like after everything we've shared together i should be sad to see it go.

but really, i've been driving the 2002 civic for like 2 months now, and i will never ever ever look back. because it's nice to have a car that actually has windshield wiper fluid. this civic is also my first car that wasn't stick shift, which is quite lovely. i don't miss manual transmission as much as i thought i would.

outta respect for the car that will soon be donated to the american foundation for the blind, lets take a look at a couple of pieces i've done of the car over the past couple of years... 200 points for each of your favorite memories about the toyota, and if you don't have any then make some up!

she said WHAT!

thanks so much to everyone that came out for felt club, it was a blast!

over the past couple of weeks it's been getting a bunch of press from places like la weekly, sunset magazine, daily candy and so on so by the time it started at noon, there were about a zillion people there. the place was PACKED.

josh came and hung out with melissa and i at our table all day, and it was so nice to have an extra set of hands to help with bags and change and so on. we ended up selling quite a bit of stuff! all 6 cupcakes i made found homes, all 10 make-a-plates i did moved out, and a bunch of unicorn paintings and celebrity paintings are now gone!

the only downside to this is now i'm gonna be swamped this week making stuff for next week's bazaar bizarre... expect not to hear from me much this week. but if you're around you should come to that show - we'll have more stuff to sell, and my sister michelle'll be contributing some items, too!

i'm off to crochet some more cupcakes...

shhhh it's a secret for this page only...

it's beginning to look a lot like xmas, so the first person to leave a comment on this page of my blog get 500 points! will it be you!?!?!

we don't have anything for you here please leave!

denied!!!

i was soooooo effing excited to go to beverly hills for a book signing today for amy sedaris, of strangers with candy fame. she recently put out a hospitality book that is making me pee my pants in laughter all the time, and i was so jazzed to go meet her and maybe get a picture or twelve!

so the website said the book signing was at 5pm. this afternoon around 215pm i get online to get directions - go to the bookstore's website for their address and all that, and the bookstore website says the signing's at 2pm. WHAAAAAAA?!?!! so i call the bookstore, and they confirm that's going on RIGHT NOW. and that it will be over by the time josh and i drive the 25 miles in soCal traffic.

"but," the store clerk says,"if it's any help, it's very crowded, she did a great job and is very funny."

"that doesn't help me at all," i tell him before hanging up.

sob!

i'm just glad we found out the time snafu BEFORE we drove all the way out there.

but it still stinks. i emailed amy and told her how sad i was that i missed it, i wonder if she'll write back.
