In the interest of all things New Orleans. A close friend of mine, Jeremy Shatz, recently put together his own website for his custom fine furnature. He uses recycled and salvage cypress, red pine, and cast off to create unique one-of-a-kind art work, out of valuable, stable, non-renewable wood. His furniture is simply gorgeous. Please visit his site and see how invaluable his skills really are.

Be gentle. It is still a work in progress. I have yet to represent all of the glorious work that I have accomplished. There are quite a few illustrations that I am happy displaying. Though, I am currently discussing amongst contemporaries whether or not those are best fit for another section. Any thoughts on that matter? I would love any feedback that you have.

SXSW Pilgrimage

allank — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 15:37:49 +0000

I am almost done packing my bags, I have secured most of the electronics I require to make it 5 days in a foreign city, and I have pressed and folded my most dapper of threads. Sometime Friday morning around 5 in the morning I will be on the first leg of my trip to SXSW. Waking up at 5′aught clock, securing my luggage and carry-ons, and heading to the airport. On the plane by 7, layover in Dallas/Fort Worth for an hour, back in the air by 9:30 and on the ground in Austin by 10:45. I’m traveling with a companion, the Multimedia Designer from Netcom, Nick. We will hit up Enterprise to pick up our economy sized Ford Micro-Spec or the next smallest car you can get for couch change. Fortunately we will both be rocking our own rooms; with king size beds at that. The best accomodations we could procure at the late date of our reservations slightly procludes us from walking. We will be lodge at the Holiday Inn – Town Lake which, thankfully, is only about 5 minutes from everything by car.

Questions that I still would like to answer before reaching the mecca:

Should I bring my laptop everywhere?
Is it ok to record audio/video?
Is it ok to re-broadcast sed audio/video?
How will I be able to see the 6 panels I want at the same time?
What is/are the etiquette/morays of SXSW?

So that is the ultimate idea. Though, that is also just the beginning. It would be great to find some Sherpa or mystical guide to aide my way finding on this SXSW pilgrimage. I am open to the advice of any and all folks the have been there or know something I don’t.

Ash Wednesday Blues

allank — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 14:42:57 +0000

This is my third trip on the Carnival ride, and I must say it is quite the spirited fling. A season within, where only the most daring veterans of base consumption remain calm. I have yet to reach the paramount of the holiday. My liver, kidneys, and lungs rise in mutiny against me to stop me from maintaining through out a solid 5 day strait bender. Getting back into the groove of work sound highly appealing at this point in time. Normally you judge the quality of time off but the time on. If your soul purpose in life is to stay coherent and drinking for 5 days you start to look forward to your time off, working as it were at that point, sort of like working for the weekend, but with out all that ’80s.

Beads, Booze, and Bemusement

allank — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 04:03:28 +0000

Ok so I couldn’t make it through the entirety of the first weekend of Mardi Gras. I’m not feeling in good shape today. I am feeling in a shape, but that shape is vulgar, sad, and hedious, and should stay in dark corners. Am I not human? Do I not need to sleep? It’s been on since Friday at 6 o’clock. Two 4 a.m. mornings in a row will humble even the most seasoned of drunks. But when you start at noon it’s and entirely new ballgame.

Enter the marathon party. This Sunday we will call a wash. I will recover, rehydrate, and relax. But this coming Wednesday, the 14th, at 6 o’clock p.m. it starts again. Mardi Gras or bust. 7 strait days of parades and party come this Wednesday.
