Hey pals, we're playing a show tonight at trash bar in Brooklyn. $6 admission, OPEN BAR from 8-9, we go on at 10pm. Its in Williamsburg and is off the first stop of the L train in Brooklyn. Its at a bar so you youngins probably wont be able to get in. not sure if theyre id-ing at the door but theres a chance they will. Unlike last time we played, which included being absolutely shit faced, not being able to hear, and broken strings and a floor tom in the first song, this show should be at least 37% better than last time. That being said, hope to see y'all there. Heres da link: http://www.thetrashbar.com/html/modules.php?name=GCalendar&file=viewday&y=2009&m=5&d=26&e=648

Top 5 Companies That Should've Stuck Around

2009-04-27T15:32:00.003-04:00

Since I don’t have a digi cam, here are some thoughts, realizations and ramblings about stuff that you wont care about but I feel like writing down:
After discussing with steve, I realized that ordering two slices of pizza are necessary, and ordering one is pretty dumb. Not that two slices are always needed, there's just always a hunger for the taste of pizza, hence why you need two slices. However, upon ordering two slices today, I realized that two slices aren't really needed. Just wait 10 minutes and you'll be full, just ask my stomache after its done twisting and turning.
I realized today that I really like working across the street from FIT. Like, really, really like working across the street from FIT.
My hair is long and I like being hungover and miss living in Montclair.
Speaking of living in Montclair, about a year ago almost, me spice and steve were supposed to move in together. We found a house, and long story short, couldn’t get our shit together to rent it out. Funny/weird to think about where we would be right now if we went ahead with getting the house.
I appreciate doing things by myself. Im not sure why, but I like being a loner sometimes. Eating pizza alone is cool, coffee alone is cool, bar by yourself is cool sometimes and for some reason, works with picking up chicks. Or getting picked up i guess. Who knew.
As opposed to last summer, this summer will be awesome. Already clocking in major amount of time on the roof. Not to say that I've actually been "tanning". Just you know, being on the roof and stuff. I haven't been tan in two years.
How come people don’t use 90's terms like butt munch and ass wipe anymore? I miss those terms. Also, why is it called a blowjob and not a suckjob? Clearly theres more sucking than blowing involved.
Speaking of suck jobs I'm at work, and as im typing this it looks like im doing work and writing a lot. I'm currently typing in the same document as my "Top 5 Companies That Should've Stuck Around" article. Once im done its copy, paste, post. Simple as that and I don’t get caught. Unless someone from work is reading this now… sorry. It's during my lunch anyway, I promise.

fotogny (10:19:15 AM): hahahha
fotogny (10:27:12 AM): fucking hungoveruh
mskatev (10:27:36 AM): u hungover?
fotogny (10:28:07 AM): yea its dumb
fotogny (10:28:27 AM): slept in montclair last night and had to drive into the city this morning
fotogny (10:28:39 AM): no parking spots and had to put it in a garage
fotogny (10:28:50 AM): then i got an iced coffee but its pretty good
fotogny (10:29:19 AM): then i took the elevator and made small talk with a co worker, she got off on the 9th floor
fotogny (10:29:38 AM): then i farted in the elevator, ive had to shit since i started driving this morning
fotogny (10:30:01 AM): then i turned on my computer and went to go shit while it was turning on
fotogny (10:30:16 AM): nothing happened so now im drinking iced coffee which wil make me shit even more
mskatev (10:31:10 AM): hahahhahahaa

long drives and skatepark dives

2009-03-25T14:20:00.013-04:00

Went down to Miami for Spring Break with John Cruz, Rozbo, and Davy.You can't really tell, but there were like a hundred hawks circling this building.
We found this gem; only to find that it was next to impossible to skate.
Went to this abandoned Chinese theme park called Splendid China in Orlando.

Pretty sketchy in there.
Jim Greco made a pro model marble slab for us to find.

There were gnarly things in there.
From John's grandmother's house in Orlando we went to a hotel in Miami that his Aunt got for us.
This place was crazy; flat screen, hd tv.
Huge comfy beds.
An iPod player.
The Book of Mormom in place of a Bible

"Fuck yeah Fiji water! Oh wait, '$7 will be charged after consumption'. Damn!"
Hookah bars.
On every floor there were crazy blue lights down the halls.
4 pools to swim in for some reason.
Beds with canopies outside.

2 Hot Tubs that were probably filled with our pee.

All on the beach!

Awesome trip...went to the Animal Biking warehouse to TRY and skate.
All the ramps were destroyed and impossible to skate.

I became more interested in the silly graffiti.

theres no reason to scream and shout, i just came here to get kicked out (UPDATE)

2009-03-24T18:55:00.004-04:00

UPDATE: so we'll be going on at 9:30/10:00, so be there sometime before that. i'll let you guys know if anything changes. cheers.

tonight:
first stop off the L train in brooklyn. literally right outside of the subway station on bedford ave. free za with every brew.

weve been practicing

and yelling at the top of our lungs at 3am. i know its in the middle of the week, but i know most of you will be drinking anyway. so you should come get drunk, dance, whatever. we have a drinking song to sing along to now. should be a good time. doors at 8 and we STILL dont know what time were going on, so i would say get there at 8. call me if you need directshens or something.

some words to live by:

and i quote

2009-03-15T22:06:00.003-04:00

"well, you do have enemies"
- ryan in response to gregs mystery broken windshield

"i really love your perfume"
"this futon is really creepy"
words that were exchanged with a female one evening

"im eating chocolate and looking at blogs"

This is a compilation of the past 3 weeks of my life.Rozbo and I drank a whole bottle of Absinthe and died.

Matt Eaton writes awesome things on BJ's dirty whip

Drank wine with creeps and some buddies...

When the guys look like this.....

It's no wonder the girls started to kiss each other rather than them.

I thought it was a good idea to Super 8.

Then girls got ahold of my camera.

Nice to see they had fun with it.

if you were bought and sold, youd be fools gold

2009-03-04T17:19:00.005-05:00

quick reminder and then i'll stop.

This Saturday I'll be showing photos at the seasick mama group show, as well as playing a set with my band, Beer Girls. The Beer Girls "flyer" aka duct tape on my wall, says 9pm, the seasick mama flyer says 7pm, and now I'm going to tell you to come at 8pm. I think we're going on at 9 but just make things easier on yourself and come the earlier the better. If you get bored at the show you can go to the bar next door and pay for drinks, but why would you wanna do that when there's free beer at the gallery? So please come out and support, drink, and watch, because I haven't seen many of yous in a bit and would love for you to pull me out from underneath the rear bumper of a car if I decide to pass out there. I will be wasted.

grape soda tuesday

2009-02-24T20:28:00.005-05:00

i think this is more effective if i post the photos separately as to evoke the emotion that comes with the memory of a certain period in time, like that week or so a couple mays ago when we had a couch in the backyard and the quarterpipe was still around and we drank grape soda on tuesdays and everyone was still friends and we barbecued every day...

so i will continue unless i hear any objection.

hey pals, just wanted to let you guys know about a few things going on. march 5-8 will be the grand opening of 303grand gallery in williamsburg, and seasick mama is putting on a weekend-long event that should be pretty rad. each artist will have their own t-shirt. i'll be showing my photos on friday night, and saturday night beer girls will be playing (i think/hope). so come out, buy a shirt, and drink some free beer. should be a great time.

I've got a photo posted up at King Shit from my trip to greece. Peep dat here: http://kingshit.org/article.php?entry_id=181 There's a bunch of other good stuff up there too. If you were a fan of Big Brother magazine when it was out, then you'll appreciate some of the content from Nieratko and Dave Carnie that goes up from time to time. Good stuff.

hmm what else. oh yah, my solo show at Division East is going to be on April 4th so mark your calendars. I'll be showing a bunch of unseen photos form my days at midland, and we'll also be releasing two t-shirts. You won't be disappointed in them.

see ya friends

let the blind lead those who can see but cannot feel

2009-02-16T12:51:00.001-05:00

start off the day with a sort of mutual quote from Bohner and Cus:
"I don't care what movie you put on as long as it has to do with Outer Space and/or Hell. You know what's good."

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

ive been digging through some old photos recently. some of these are about three years old i'd say. that being said, sick jerks has been around for a while so you might've seen one or two of these before.

gary. from a riot trip upstate. we were lost trying to find some backwoods skatepark we were doing a demo at. eventually we found it, got drunk, ran around with farm animals, and then kicked in the windows of some abandoned car in the woods. fun times.

breakfast at midland. pretty sure thats eric in the hoodie with baker in the background. and i may be wrong but i think thats brett abramsky on the right.

these are from another riot trip up to montreal. we didnt go to any scheevy strip clubs or get in cabs with prostitutes on this trip, but it was still a good time. i remember dave being super psyched on this shirt.

this spot was all sorts of fun. dave does a sweet fakie flip at the end of this line.

filming talk. i miss riot trips, they were always a good time. reunion trip?

double exbrosure. film>digital

marino at an ed templeton photo show.

this is mike's dog casey. she's the best. i haven't seen her in a while, she's pretty old nowadays but she's still living it up.

im glad i found these. where you at stevehen?

If you go to your local newsstand/skate shop/book store, and see something canadian that kind of looks like this:

Then you should spend 8 dollars and buy it because a two page spread of this is on the inside:

the marsh-skegs connection comes through again. also, marino, if you're reading this: a. im jealous of how much film you have stocked up, b. i should've came on the trip, and c. i hope you're warm down there. it's 20 degrees and windy today!

As you may or may not know/care, im in a band. Our name is Beer Girls. I play keyboard and random percussion stuff. These are extremely rough recordings we did in my living room while we were drunk, and we have no bassist as of right now, so that's why it might sound a little empty at times. Just figured I'd give you guys something to do on this slushy (if you're in the city) or snowy (if you're in the burbs) day. Oh, and even though it says Brooklyn in the profile, don’t pass it off as "hipster" shit, its pretty opposite. I'll see you when I see you, friends

sorry for animal collective overdose, but the new album just leaked and i have nothing better to do at work right now. few people probably care or would get a chuckle out of this but whatevs. a few years ago they played on the conan o'brien show. them and conan in the same sentence is already pretty awkward, but then they chose to play #1. a song which is most definitely not ready for "pop culture". anyway, here's the video. i feel bad for anyone who was at this taping. they played great, but if you don't know the band you would be confused as fuck.

case in point, the guy trying to figure out the closed captioning while this noise is going on was pretty confused:

although the new album is definitely the easiest to listen to, i like that they remain weird and against the grain, but at the same are getting more normal (if that makes sense). someone give me something to do, i sound like im writing for pitchfork

go do something

two summers ago i went with the fam to europe. a few days in rome, two and a half weeks in greece. ive had prints of these photos for a long time but never scanned them until yesterday, so i guess you can consider this "new shit". there's a lot more than these, so this is just a short summary of my trip.

while at dinner one day these french girls were singing in the streets of rome. not sure what the occasion was but their voices echoed down the alleys and streets. i grabbed my camera and ran accross the street and waited. i like it because its at the split second where this girl and i made eye contact.

off to greece. mom was psyched.

athens at night

that new Zorba single is the shit. oh shit wait, they got that new Syrtaki EP too. gotta pick that one up kit

greeks being greeks.

i have an odd amount of photos of random couples doing couple things from this trip.

off to limni, an island off of greece where my grandma (yia yia, in greek) is originally from. it was cool to see family members i never knew i had.
fishing and eating on the beach til the moon comes around the corner. i ate a sea urchin straight from the water this day.

my cousin francesco

more cousins. i mainly hung out with the girl in the tube the whole time. shes 5 and the only thing she knew how to say in english was 'cheese' and the only thing i really knew how to say in greek was 'podophles', which are sandals. somehow these were the only words exchanged through the whole time i was there and we were best buds

this might be my favorite photo i've ever taken (besides dan getting punched in the face by andrew). oddly enough, the dude could pass as a fatter version of me if i had a blonde girlfriend. prints of these photos will be in my upcoming photo show/t-shirt release party at division east thats gonna be sometime in late january i think.

also, thanks to steve marino for putting together the show last night. good turnout and a good time

some random photons from the past few months. really random actually

heatmakers at ASR

for those of you wondering about that bam photo, i had to go to a press day at his house for some new video that's coming out. house was ridiculous, as was his gear, and this osama mural and driveway.

you ever find yourself staring at the cooler in a liquor store for over ten minutes and then come home with random drinks like this? this was one of those times.

Oh, well look who it is. if you're wondering why I haven't been blogging, well I couldn’t tell you why. Anyway, here's a random bunch of random thoughts to make it look like I posted something

Coffee is good
My teeth are more crooked now and I don’t want to see a dentist
My middle knuckle was the size of a golf ball two weeks ago
Monday nights are now deemed "sober nights"
Sunday dinner parties at kingsland turn into dance parties before you can finish your pasta
Vegans are odd people
Im almost in hibernation mode
Spice is living the life
Karaoke in chinatown is highly recommended
Lesbians are odd too
Beer Girls will be your new favorite band by march 09
"the office" is a funny show. especially when you're in one every day and can relate to it
Someone died in the apartment above us, I had to let the medical examiner in
I appreciate skateboarding by yourself more than ever, cold sessions by yourself are refreshing
Me and spice invented the "whiskey root" which is whiskey and root beer, they compliment each other nicely
The falafel guy on the corner was cold as fuck so I tipped him an extra dollar today
I slammed my leg into a subway turnstile and broke my phone
Birdman and mannie fresh are the shit
Ryan bought me a why? live album for my birthday. If you haven't discovered them yet, please do. You'll thank yourself you read this far

Not sure if ive posted this photo of me and shape before but what the heck. Im pretty sure I was trying to mop up broken glass from the ceiling light that shape punched that night. Which reminds me, I haven't passed out underneath any rear bumpers of cars in quite some time. If there's anything that you can do in jersey and not in NYC, its that. Miss you shape!

sieben is awesome

2008-10-01T16:47:00.002-04:00

trip to nowhere

2008-08-27T22:35:00.012-04:00

So on August 7th, Cus, Davy, Rozbo, and I ventured out on a journey across the US. We had little money, no places to stay, and no destination. The trip to nowhere was incredible and here are some pictures from the journey in no particular order. I suggest everyone get the hell out there!

some photos

2008-08-25T23:09:00.006-04:00

from a roll that's been sitting around for a few months. some surprises in there that hold a different meaning now than they normally would have.

2008-08-19T15:58:00.002-04:00

just some random photos that have been on my camera for a little while.

you should probably go to your local skateshop and/or ginormous chain book store and pick up the newest issue of Skateboarder magazine to see marshall beautifully executing a manuever for my camera at sundown. until then, this scan from the tum yeto site will have to do. that is all, good day.

2008-08-08T18:11:00.006-04:00

dont know how or why, but my camera died. had it for over 5 years so i guess it was gonna happen sooner or later. i opted to take it back to 1994 with a good ol disposable. tired of captions so use your imagination.

the northside, L&L, and any number of crappy apartments

2008-08-06T23:27:00.021-04:00

so when i last left off we were getting drunk at broken social scene. 5 hours later were on the way to chicago to stay there for a grand total of one day.

delirious already. "this may be the dumbest thing we've ever done"

good bye city

hello pennsylvania.

bored and looking through my car i found painful proof of why i have no money. tickets.

pennsylvania, you pretty and shit, but you absolutely suck to drive through.

stopped off at kentacohut (a kfc/taco bell/pizza hut all in one). this was their employee class of 2004.

driving is scary when theres shit like this on the road

never wouldve thought that id be so happy to see ohio out of all states.

looks appetizing but neh. put tits on anything and people will buy it.

13 hours later...

sears tower looks pretty shitty.

view from the hotel.

billygoat tavern. best burgers

chicago lookin all cute and shit

i didn't mention this, but part of the reason for going to chicago was to go here:
the L&L tavern. it's the lawrence arms' favorite bar and we drove 13 hours to go to it. its safe to say were nerds now.

old style flowing and lawrence arms and any and all of their side projects or affiliated bands in the juke box.

saw my future self inside.

back at the hotel. "what should we do now?"

"play A cup" A cup is when you use your tshirt pocket as...A cup.

follow it up with a game of "would you fuck a broad if..." and youve got yourself a great night

rain again. pretty awesome when youre going to a music festival outside.

this is the first thing i consumed all day. this is also the first post of sloppedalloverit.blogspot.com. me and dfines new blog consisting of stuff that has more stuff slopped all over it.

fuck.

it was 90 degrees mind you.

living on the border of hip town, i see a lot of dumb looking people doing dumb things. makes me want to go up to them and say "hey, you look silly. just letting you know". which prompted me to start youlooksilly.blogspot.com. most of these pics are on there but this is the only time im going to really mention it so bookmark it.

you look silly.

dude is psyched to be a part of the yls gang.

saw a ton of awesome bands, but who wants to look at pics of that. hold steady was awesome so they made the cut.

attempt #1

attempt #2

there ya go

atlas sound.

god damnit.

animal collective. wouldve been one of the best sets ive seen them play if they didnt get cut short.

more hotel antics

and up the next morning to drive home. fill it regular plea....oh its just naveen.

these people are actually all going in reverse. theyre having trouble getting used to ez-pass over there.

being delirous and still drunk i thought this winnabago was named fun ender, not fun finder.

weird. remember vinny vegas?

fuckk not again. pa bums me out so thats all for trip back photons

funny how you can stop at a rest stop and find a $5.99 dvd that sums up the trip:
nah, but with john candy and isaac hayes involved you know its gonna be a good time.

my good friend tom pacific was in town. tom is backpacking around and farming in massachusetes for a little while.

went to the country club.

starring steve siberine.

haha yep.

went to see MGMT with jess and dfinest man and the line went all the way back to graham ave. for those of you who dont know that distance, it was a 10 block line with some of the worst people on earth.

like this dude.

and this dude.

due to rain and them not letting anymore people in, we went back to the apt and passed out. then me and greg got 2nd wind and went back and snuck in.

prettayy good.

photos from the roof never get old.

and the music corner is still fucked.
