I bet Brandy is super freaked out by her brother’s whatever-whatever. But sure would like to hear an album about it. Word to Will C.

I can’t just leave it at that. This is Ray J Norwood, Brandy’s little brother. Me and Will, fellow hardcore Brandy fan, were marvelling at this today. I mean, donde esta Brandy? Yes she is dealing with the unfortunate circumstances of her car accident. And maybe she is still pissed off at Ray J for […]

It’s telling that everytime I say “We’re closing the magazine” to non-mag folks they think I mean “our mag is ending” rather than what I really mean “this issue is finishing up and going to print.” Everyone: unless someone tells you that and they are crying and /or hysterical (but not necessarily if they look […]

Ran into my friend who works for a major newsmagazine (hint it ain’t Newsweek). They’re laying people off left and right, with little to no notice, so the press doesn’t get wind of it.

Yesterday, I visited with two students, Taree Mackenzie and Simon McGlinn to talk about their current projects at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA). Both students were curious to know about Portland, and the Social Practice program and we probably spent half the meeting talking about how The M.O.S.T. makes collaboration work for us. […]

The only times I ride in a car when I’m not paying the driver is when Jon is tooling us around in his little metal beast of a 1970s (1980s??) sporty cockmobile. Cockmobile as in, the Mercedes that, when it came out, burned shit hot with old spice and dude investment bankers picking up their […]
