It’s been a good year.
We don’t believe in credit cards. We believe in authorization and in lower cost transfers. Our generation actually understands that when you buy sh*t, it comes out of your bank account and you have to pay for that.

Shout-out to any SAS alums out there in the tumblr world. The last voyage shot this “seadub”-directed by Andrew Centofante-of the whole ship. Question to the talent…why didn’t you call this a shipdub?! The pun was right there for you to take! Great job though. We’re big fans of any and all cheesy lip-dubs, especially ones that send us stumbling down memory lane.
Memories
So long, old friend.
Seems like it was getting increasingly difficult for the theater to operate, with Arclight now premiering many of the same indie films about a mile down the road. Still, Sundance Kabuki is going to take over the old Sunset 5 space in Spring 2012.
Sad. My first internship in LA was in that complex and I’d see movies there alone after work there all the time.
“Inside Out” can be thought of either as an extreme diminishment of artistic ego or as a celebration of it, with the artist’s brand propagated by many clones. When I first met JR, I observed that, no matter what the participants did, their images would still register as his art. “I do put a frame around it,” he acknowledged. “I mean, people send me their dogs and cats to print, and, no, that’s out of the project. But imagine: You go to North Dakota and you look at a pasting. You ask, ‘Who did that?’ The people there are going to say, ‘We took the pictures. We did the pasting.’”

Brown Bones Swab Party in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
—- Friday, 4 November 2011Would you brush your teeth twice if it could save someone’s life?
What if it was this guy? His name is Amit Gupta.
Maybe you’ve never heard of him, but Amit has touched the lives of thousands of people. We’re hoping maybe you can touch his.
He has leukemia. If he can’t find a marrow donor soon, he will die. He is Indian, so his best match will probably come from a South Asian donor.
Come to our free party on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY this Friday night 4 Nov 2011. Sign some forms, swab your cheek (it’s just like brushing your teeth), and have a drink on us. Plus cupcakes and dumplings.
Time is REALLY short. Amit has until November 30, 2011. Please help us save his life. More details at www.AmitGuptaNeedsYou.com
p.s. Most modern day marrow donations occur via PBSC, a procedure similar to donating blood. All you have to do is sit there. Saving a life has never been so easy.
p.p.s. Amit started a popular website, Photojojo.com. When he sends people products from the site he includes a couple of plastic dinosaurs. Just for fun, because dinosaurs are cool. That’s the kind of guy he is. Selfless, caring, honest. We’d like to keep him around. If you’re South Asian, please visit www.AmitGuptaNeedsYou.com Drop everything if you have to. His life depends on it.

Grandpop nails the happy bday strat.
Went with @joshheller to see “experimental jazz” in an old church, ended up choosing nouveau-Cabaret in the church basement instead. #Berlin
Señor Mir took us to the small town of Petra, birthplace of Junipero Serra, founder of the California Missions. The model of the San Diego mission was much better than the one I made in 5th grade.
Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Back on the Road to attend my good friend Brian’s wedding on Mallorca, Spain where his new wife Ana Mir grew up and they will soon be living.
