| All good things come to an end. For the past two years this little Xanga page has been my journal, sharing thoughts, perspectives, films, clothes and my life lol. I was feelin that it was time for a change, a new look... so I'm moving!
If you know me you know I hate the idea that goodbyes are permanent, pathetically enough, even with shit as small as my blog lol. So maybe think of this as a test...who knows, maybe I'll come back to Xanga eventually. There are things I like about it that I will miss (I have yet to find another blog site with the "Currently Listening/Watching/Reading" feature)... But for now its time to venture into new blogger territory haha.
I'm keepin this page for memories sake, but for now you'll be able to find me at my new online home:

Asshole cops...
We watched them pull these two guys over, walk over to them with their chests all puffed out and their hard faces, make them wait for eons in their car while they called for backup for no reason, then made them sit on the street while they searched their car top to bottom obviously for stuff they shouldn't have...when they came up with nothing, they had their car towed anyway. You could see on their faces and how they talked to these guys, they were SO condesending it was disgusting.
BIG First Thursday this month! There was a huge block party right in our hood, 5th & Couch. Was soooooooo much fun, seriously every First Thursday needs to be like this from now on.
At Just Be's show. The homie Dice on the lower left there with the hat.

The legendary Ricky Powell came and displayed his photography at Upper Playground for UP's 1st anniversary in Portland!

Director Gary Huswit screened his new film "Helvetica" at Wieden & Kennedy. "Helvetica" is a documentary about the typeface known as Helvetica, it's history and origins, impact on typography and marketing, as well as the type designers who love and loath it. It was really a great film, such a fascinating topic, and extremely well orchestrated. If you get a chance to check it out, I definetly reccomend it!
The homie Eric Johnson from W&K introduces Gary Huswit.
A couple hours after the "Helvetica" screening, Ricky Powell came to W&K for an exclusive slideshow presentation! It was really fun, Ricky is such a character hahaha he definetly told some interesting stories to coincide with his photos. I got to meet the man afterward, and get an autographed postcard with a photo of Flava Flav and Biz Markie!
Hanging out with Ricky after the slideshow.
My favorite street in Portland.
I thought this old Ford was kinda rad.

Now for just a couple of blurbs.
As many of you all know, my favorite film of all time (only recently rivaled by "LA HAINE" but more on that next post) is "Before Sunrise". The film made me a very big fan of Julie Delpy, and she recently just directed and starred in a new film of her own called "2 Days In Paris". Me and Cam tried to go see it when it played at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC a few months ago, but the line was SO huge that we couldn't get in. I was extremely dissapointed because I'm really excited to see this film. Sigh. But anyway, theres a great interview with Julie over at Comingsoon.net about the film so I just wanted to tell you all to check it out. There's links to the trailer as well, so peep:
