I’d like to wish a very happy birthday to my creative idol. Since I was sixteen years old, David Byrne has been my guiding light for creativity.

Lady Crush of the Day: Nicole Atkins

7 Comments 19 March 2013

An Open Letter to John Aielli

via KUT Flickr page Dear John Aielli, A few weeks back, I saw you for the first time out in this strange and beautiful world. I was walking into the alley below UT’s School of Communication as you were shuffling out. A smile was playing on your lips– not a smug, pretentious smile, but a [...]

When A Unicorn Takes a Massive Dump in Front of You

4 Comments 01 November 2012

Recuperating from an action-packed Halloween last night, so I will keep this short. See this unicorn? It came into the bar we were hanging out in, went out onto the dance floor, took a massive dump, then left. This is why I love living in Austin.
