As Far As I Can Tell

Friday: Screen Printing

After a long and tedious learning process I finally created my first screen for silk screening and made some posters for the upcoming Moped BBQ 8. I made the screens here in Chicago and took all of the supplies to Sturgis where my press is. From now on I’ll be doing everything in Sturgis.

Compared to the trial and error mess of making the screens, printing went smoothly. I’m so impressed with the quality and opacity of the ink. I’m really excited to start doing more printing.

Afterward I had dinner with my Dad in Three Rivers and made it to Kalamazoo just in time to see the excellent sequel to X-Men, X2. Bill was in town for two days only before he ran off to Japan again. It was nice to see him, even if it was only for a few hours. I’m glad he’s going to be spending some time in Kalamazoo this summer before going to Detroit.

Meredith and I stayed in our new apartment Friday night for the first time. Empty except for our air mattress, it felt like we were squatters.

i’m really impressed by your posters, and your new place is a dream. good thing you had already moved your screening stuff out before the flooding.

Miguel: It’s sparse because there aren’t any possessions in it at all. I’ll definitely be filling it up. Empty spaces can be peaceful, but surrounding yourself with things you like can breed creativity and make a space feel like it’s yours.

Going to get passport photos and feeling a bit too unkempt for a photo that will represent me for a decade.

Shit. I forgot to renew my passport and now I have to expedite it. This is so unlike me.

Cab ride with an amazing driver. He only works during the blues radio show, and heads home if too many people ask for a different station.

Worst first date update: "I did crack but I wasn't addicted," "I know I have insecurity issues," "My stepdad moved us around every year."

Next to the worst first date ever. The woman has brought up her heroin addiction, STDs, and always dating drug dealers. Dude looks freaked.

It's not even Thanksgiving and dowtown is already complete chaos. Avoid at all costs until after the new year.
