Vintage Obama bumper sticker ca. July 2006
1 of a set of 3 I purchased from CafePress long before any stated intention of a Presidential run, recently affixed to my mom’s car. Aesthetically amateurish and obviously no match for the current official design, yet somehow bold and prescient in its quaint homebrew optimism.
Me, saving the clock tower ca. 2005
Quick story: I was working on a commercial on the Universal lot and took a walk during lunch to maybe my favorite set of any movie (that being the Courthouse Square seen in the hoverboard chase of Back to the Future II). I was making a phone call from the steps, relaxing in the sun and suddenly the tour bus pulls around the corner and a hundred tourists start snapping photos of me.
Anyhow, as of today’s fire, my beloved clock tower is beyond saving.
Note: the Courthouse Square had previously been victim to a fire in 1990 when a security guard, hired to keep watch on picture cars for the Sylvester Stallone masterpiece Oscar, lost control of his cigarette. Totally worth it.
Too much fucking perspective (Spinal Tap visits Graceland)
Jenna Fox does one HELL of a Fishstick.
You do know The Fishstick, right? It’s “the brand new dance craze sweeping the nation,” says Boing Boing’s Xeni Jardin.
