Back in January, when Jon Burgerman and Jim Avignon were playing multiple locations in New York,Anxieteam was the opening act for Kim Boekbinder. I’d sort of encountered her name through tweet exchanges with Molly Crabapple, but really had no idea the talent I was missing out on in NYC. Meg and I made our way [...]

I recently received a copy of A Great Pile of Leaves‘ cd, and though I’ve rarely done any music write-ups myself, I chose to share some of my thoughts below. I have little, to no, information on the band A Great Pile of Leaves– which may actually be better since my opinions won’t be affected [...]

I realize I haven’t posted in a while– my apologies. My younger brother is graduating in two days and Walter Bishop (my little guy) just got fixed, so yeah life’s been keeping me busy in a wonderful way. But, what better way to get back into the roll of things then by sharing the news [...]

Podgypanda’s winter sale is half-way through and I can’t believe I haven’t informed you of the news. If you’ve hesitated ordering any of his products (although I don’t see why you would), this is the perfect opportunity to not only get his stuff at a discount, but also score an original sketch. Yipppeeee! Head on [...]

In this unboxing, Grim Santo– video master for IHCS, unboxes the special edition boxset of Alan [...]

I realize I’ve been on a major hiatus. I’ve been sick and my computer simultaneously decided to live its final breath leaving me without a connection to the interwebs. Moving on though, to get back in action I deliver exciting news to broke asses like myself who reside in NYC. New York-Tokyo’s game night will [...]

I just received a newsletter from New York-Tokyo containing news of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid t-shirt collection produced by UNIQLO. I’ve posted about UNIQLO before, they have several design collaborations that I find to be divine and the best part is their affordable prices. The upcoming collection will celebrate (and coincide with) the release [...]

This post is dedicated to some of my Metroid obsessed friends. =D I’ve wanted to work on a quilt for some time now, but I don’t have the time to dedicate to the project. I’ve also never finished my mosaic project that I started 2yrs ago. Maybe I should dedicate an hour a day, if [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Cyllian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Caine– I’d like to go on the record and say that the cast alone have the makings of an epic film. Add Christopher Nolan to the mix, who’s directing skills from The Dark Knight impressed me, and you can count my $13 in! Also, while [...]

Seeing as how I’m Mexican, I figure I’ll share something Mexican related to stay true to my roots. ^__^ Below you’ll find the official trailer for Machete, a film by Robert Rodriguez. What started out as a spoof trailer during Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’ Grindhouse film has been turned into a feature length film [...]

New York-Tokyo have hosted several awesome events since I’ve learned about them, check out the Shin Tanaka Night post to get an idea of their events. Tomorrow, they’ll launch what will probably become a weekly Tuesday night ritual Game Night. With Game Night they hope to create a gaming environment that includes socializing, booze and [...]

Catching Up w/ ZeroFriends NYC from IHCS.me on Vimeo. It’s been almost four months since ZeroFriends‘ pop-up shop took over UpperPlayground’s location, and we’re only now finally stopping by to hang out with the good folks who are running the place. What started off as taking a breather from the packed Buff Monster opening, led [...]

For some odd reason, I was under the impression that Shepard Fairey‘s upcoming solo was going to be on the West Coast. Oh, but I’m so glad someone pointed me in the right direction and clarified that Deitch Projects is actually located not more than 20 blocks or so from my home. Yay! MAYDAY, as [...]

Threadless, who make several appearances on the site and also produce some of my absolute favorite tees, have outdone themselves! Well, the voters have actually, seeing as how votes determine whether a design gets produced or not. Waiting in my inbox was the latest Tron inspired t-shirt and hoodie. Ready for this, they glow-in-the-dark!! The [...]

As noted in an earlier post, Kick-Ass made its theatrical debut today and though it seems I won’t get to watch until tomorrow or Sunday (blergh), comic book fans (and unaware viewers) are already responding positively. Yay! To coincide with its release, FCUK has released a couple type tees to celebrate. I’m personally digging the [...]

KickAss release date!!! I’ve yet to finish the series, but I very much look forward to seeing the movie tonight (latest tomorrow). If you’ve seen it, leave vague details of its awesomeness (or suckage below), if you haven’t; are you going to? Or do you think it’ll be craptacular? It is the same guy who [...]

Last week, while eating dinner with the Pimp, I realized she had a Shawnimals’ zipper charm hanging off her bookbag. When I’d first spotted the zipper charms, I thought they were cool, but also had the wrong impression about them. So, I trekked over to My Plastic Heart, and took some photos of the ones [...]

I’ve seen several redesigned movie posters (Gallery1988 even had a show dedicated to this artform), and I really dig people’s creativity and ability to change what are sometimes the best movie posters EVER! In this edition of redesigned posters, Tomasz Opasinski has combined toys with movie posters. The figures look like a mixture of Munny [...]

Twenty-ten has introduced me to many great projects and people, one of which is Kickstarter. I’m not sure if I’ve written about them before, but Kickstarter is a godsend to those who have a dream and don’t have the funds to make it happen. The project relies solely on the the graces of human nature. [...]

I haven’t posted much about the awesome things available on the internet in a while– so I figured I’d start sharing one day at a time. To set things off, I’ll start with this robot head toilet paper holder. I’m a huge fan of robots and if I had my own place, this would definitely [...]
