Hey dudes and dudettes,
I can't figure out how to make a new entry, but I thought this was interesting and relevant.

yo!
business!
peace!
I went to the show late saturday night- LA at its best...
Commercial show selling a meaningful product... but I was concerned about the macho factor of the graf and the images. Nevertheless, the environment was much more chill then I'd imagined and only heard folks critiquing the macho nature of graf and of some of the postering.
A fun night, music and even a drop of weirdness- with the lost film festival playing out into a punk show- some dude ripping up boxes and "going crazy"
ps. the link to boingboing has a hilarious but totally unrelated video.http://www.boingboing.net/2008/01/15/supremely-awful-hung.html
Can flowers really elevate your mood? I think it's the intention behind them thats the key. Flowers really make you feel appreciated.
