PechaKucha Night

January 28th, 2010

I will be presenting on letterpress, design, posters, etc. for Eugene’s second PechaKucha Night. What is that, you say? From the website:

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

Interested? Come to Davis’ Restaurant (Broadway & Olive, Eugene) February 4, 2010, 7 PM, small donation.

Overheard on a downtown Portland street: “Where the fuck are all the Santas?!” Spoken by a man in a Santa Claus suit, surrounded by five others in similar suits.

I designed a poster this week for a new year’s eve concert. Which just happens to feature the awesome band I play in, Samba Já. Don’t forget about the Beat Crunchers. Like, a totally rad dance party on, like, new year’s eve, y’all.

That’s Carmen Miranda in the background. Speaking of which, please view this fabulous Chiquita banana advertisement from the 1940s.

Before 1846, San Francisco was called Yerba Buena. This is what we look like here. (and in Isla Vista).

December 8th, 2009

What a lovely weekend. HWY 1. Pacific Ocean. Free Bananas in California. Three hour gig at the San Simeon Lodge/Bar & Grill. We warmed up the place for the regular Saturday night entertainment: karaoke hosted by “Elvis” Jim. I got down on some Midnight Special.
