times, times, times.


boy i love street art. this is so great. oh ya, check out joshua allen harris on you tube, its soooooooooooo fresh.


its benn a crazy couple weeks. i love it. i was made a manager at the coffee shop, and put on salary. sweet. i even have my own email, josh@starloungecoffee.com, and soon business cards, and a bio on the website. im running the kitchen. we have a slamen seitan sandwich on special this weekend(i sooooo made the seitan myself). it may become a regular thing. and i made panzanella(bread salad) too. yum.

the new house is wonderfull. im in a 6-apt building with 11 people i know. we hang out every night, were gonna start screenprinting in the basement, a workshop, bikes, gardening out of buckets, stencils, music, cooking, family pictures, nag champa, tattoos. i am in one of the best times of my life right now.

-my thoughts go out to jobee, and the friends that love him.

blutt

after moving to chicago i found out that i love street art. and have ben lucky enough to talk to some of the people who do some of the stuff i like.
blutt. "it's pronounced with a long u. yes, it's german."
is again, a regular at the coffee shop. he is best known around town for his stickers. this is his new one. its on my computer too.


and one from last year.

hes a nice guy.
jay(one of the owners) and i were talking after blutt left the shop last week. about how when jay was like 18-19 he would drive up to chicago to go to this club. and he has a sticker in his car from said club. and it turns out that blutt made the stickers for the club. and jay said that "do you think the little connections like that are a sign that im doing the right thing with my life?".
i told him, ya that coincidence could mean somthing, but look around man, how much more convincing do you need?
