Pajama Party In A Haunted Hive.

Power couple.

Magic geeks at Ye Olde Magic Castle again.

We snuck down to the basement and played magician.

Laugh it up Chuckles!

"This is what you are going to look like someday."

We went deeper into the basement and found that a huge rat had smuggled itself in Apples purse.

Near death!

Happy Halloween.

Dead Moon Night.

They made a haunted house out of the old Bates Motel. It's been shut down for about five years now. It was a bad place when it was open. Crack heads and hookers and ne'er do wells.

There was a huge AA meeting next door to it for years on Thursday nights. One night after the meeting everyone was milling around out front, smoking and talking. From the 4th floor window of the motel a topless transvestite started to tease and make fun of all the AA faithful below. She was swigging from a bottle and hanging out the window and generally being silly and entertaining.

Then she fell out the window.

And died in front of everybody.

The newspaper gave us her name a few days later. Thor Little. After that the Bates finally closed, but it's been sitting there falling apart ever since. They didn't have to do a whole lot of decorating to make it a haunted house. The place is totally cashed.

This band was in one of the rooms playing cover songs. Like one bad 1994 song after another. Bush! Sponge! Oh my god. They were cute though. They looked like they were having fun.

The 'rock garden' room didn't seem so scary.

And I don't know why they named this room 'TV Party'. It just looked like a garbage swirl to me.

They are going to level this joint next month.

You Found The World.

Ooga Booga turned two on Friday.

Ooga Booga is synonymous with quality.

No Age!

It's awesome that Betsy pretends to like all the noise just so I can stand close and take pictures.

Have you ever noticed that Dean grows extra arms when they play?

Speaking of Dean, he has been on this blog far too much lately. People will talk. They will say we are in love.

Sorry Dean. I've got someone already.

Walk over to the wishing well.

Congratulations Ooga Booga.

Looking For Gold.

Aaron and Joshua made this move, 'Beautiful Losers'. They showed a rough cut to some of their bros. I think they were looking for some criticism.

'Beautiful Losers' is a documentary about the artists who met and grew up together around the Alleged Gallery in NYC in the early 90's.

Chris Johansen, Stephen Powers, Clare Rojas, Jo Jackson, Margaret Kilgallen, Barry McGee. The whole thing was intensely inspiring.

I walked out intent on changing my whole life.

I'm proud of this guy.

I'm proud of Dan as well, but for different reasons.

Born To Cry.

Trouble for the kid.

But he's going to be just fine.

Well I Don't Know About Art But I Know What I Like.

JC Penny. 14 bucks.

Thanksgiving came early this year thanks to a two for one turkey deal at Ralphs, and the hospitality of Kevin, Hot Dog and Bebel.

Stuffing, deviled eggs, deep fried jalepenos..

See that zucchini? Bebel named that zucchini CINDY. She clutches it in her arms and tucks it in and makes sure that Cindy is safe and sound. When she is not taking care of Cindy she is playing with her Cabbage Patch Kid , 'Janet Reno', or singing about her belly button, which she has named, 'Tony Blair'.

And then there was Anton..

I Am A Weary And Lonesome Traveler.

Yes, it's been awhile. I haven't had much get up and go lately, but I am coming around.

Pre-historic platypus beaks litter the trails of Elysian Park.

You simply must take some time to explore the gardens.

They are lovingly cared for.

Rene just adores the mushrooms.

Natural thrones!

The King and Queen of the Park.

Brokedown Palace.

Dean.

Jennifer. Everybody wants to wear Johnny Thunders jacket.

Triumph Of Life.

My Interferon review, so far.

It's totally wild how negative and depressed it's made me almost overnight. I am, at times, convinced I should move to a new city and become a good old fashioned beggar.

The physical part subsided after about the third day though, so that's cool.

Betsy is going to get a medal!

The Needle Belongs In The Hand Of The Doctor.

This is my new medicine. My INTERFERON. I have to do this for a year in an attempt to cure myself of hepatitis C. I did my first dose on Friday night. At 5:03 am I woke up with the worst case of the chills ever. Like cartoon chills, body shaking teeth chattering. Since then I have just been sore, flu sore.

This should be exciting. A year isn't that long anyway. I've been doing this blog for a year.
