d'merde artists' salon/party on friday
i've been participating in d'merde salon for a bit. i'm reading this friday. it's a growing, welcoming group of writers, painters, photographers, film-makers, musicians, etc, and there are various agents/gallery owners/producers/people who want to look at comic scripts hanging out as well. it happens every six weeks. artists choose the work, and present it to the (very drunk, often absinthe-y) gathering in my friend's large studio space. there's always a fire, beer & wine, and enough san pellegrino for the next century. the info is in the flyer below the cut, at the salon website, or at the myspace event or at the facebook event. it's a sliding scale donation ($5-15 suggested), and there's absolutely no selling, just donation for the booze and food the organizer provides. feel free to repost.

DP, i choose you!!!
i have gotten back into league and playing pokemon cards (dur) and although i know plenty of places to buy card and deck sleeves, i was wondering if anyone has the slightest idea where i could get ones with custom pictures on them?
  even something simple, like a single leaf or flower or letter, to customize, or any place that would be good for printing them for a fee?
 tried google, got nothin :-\

Video of the Day and First Love
Video of the Day



They should make this the official video for that song.

This song makes me wonder how many people still think about their first love. How long ago did you say bye to them? It has been 7 years for me and I think of my first love often enough.

Are any of you still with your first love? If so, amazing!

ETA: Also, for your amusement - Pugs Live!

FOUND - Grey tabby cat with white collar, deceased, N. Macrum & N. Willamette
Today I found a grey/silver/white tabby cat at N. Macrum and N. Willamette in the St. Johns/University Park area, in the curb by the bike lane on N. Willamette at the #44 bus stop. It wasn't there 48 hours ago when I rode by.

Short haired, medium size (around 11 lbs), i couldn't tell what sex it was or if the white plasticy/vinyl collar had tags.

I have a picture if you think you might know the cat. IF it was yours, sorry for your loss :(

City Bean

So, on my walk down Jefferson toward Goosehollow, assuming I have my streets right in my head.
I walked by a sign near the Culinary Institute proclaiming CITY BEAN now open.
  My brain says ooooh bean..coffee...and it's not starbucks. I had no time to go this morning, I will later today.
I simply ask has anyone been there yet?

Free Paint
Dulux (on NE Weidler/2nd) has a sign up that says Free Paint. Looks like they've got a bunch of 5 gallon pails out there. Not sure of the colors or anything, but I figure someone here could use FREE PAINT!

Hola! So I went to the movies yesterday with my boyfriend to see Definitely, Maybe. And before the movie started we saw the new coke commercial. Does anybody know what the song is in that commercial? I really like it, and the commercial as well. My eternal love an affection to anybody who can help me out! Thanks!

And here's the commercial for you all to enjoy!
