food for thought.

we gathered at adrian's place and cooked a feast fit for kings. or maybe more accuratley, a feast fit for kings with weird tastebuds? yaya cooked the canto classic of fried egg + tomato, and i made kimchi bokumbap (fried rice). sam and i also made a deliciously bizarre cold thai beef salad, and he also made a really disgusting butterscotch pudding. more cooking in 09, this is the goal.

weekend recap.

loaded weekend. the adidas 60th anniversary party was held in shanghai on friday, shit got wild (and i mean broken glass tumbling over punching in the face drawing blood falling over wild) and around 300 people managed to get through 700 bottles of champagne. special musical guests were squeak e. clean as himself, and then N.A.S.A.. they were wearing jumpsuits? on saturday, i saw BATTLES play at the dream factory and that shit made me lose my mind. say what you want, but i think it was the hands down best show i've ever seen in china.

i also moved apartments over the weekend, i hate hate hate moving. i woke up this morning high from the paint fumes.

barbq yr nuts.

korean dinner in hongqiao.... mmmmmm.

yah everyday hustlin

hello darlings,
very quick post, things have been busy. last night i went to my friend ukachi's 68234th birthday dinner, it was lovely. all you can eat japanese food + mostly nice people. i'm moving again in a couple of days because i got screwed out of a sublet and oh, i fucking hate moving. work is bizeee bees and the weather is starting to warm up and i'm riding my bike ALOT. today i bought a pair of minty green jeans. huh.

got photos from my amazing seagull camera back today -- it's got a built in flash! just some funny shit from around the office, late for dinner, write more some other day, so busy go go go xoxoxoxo.

insight x chicks on speed x the source

insight x chicks on speed have put their right brains together in some kind of perfect lovely union of ideas and spawned a bright crazy collab that's out now. the source (158 xinle lu) is the only place in china where you're going to be able to see this shit, so check it out yo. they've got a pretty awesome pop up shop that will make your eyeballs go mad. x

two neat things!

the CONTRAIL, developed by Brooklyn based studio GELARDI, is a small apparatus that attaches to any bike seat tube and applies a thin layer of chalk powder to the rear tire. the result is a streak of colour that traces wherever you ride. so awesome!


SPARK09 kicking off in shanghai on MARCH 28. it's a full-day "ideas conference" featuring speakers culled from a variety of creative, non-profit, and commercial fields, addressing contemporary business, technology, and environment issues. check out the link for scheduling!

just do it.

the start of something.

it's a muggy day in shanghai, gray and smoggy but almost uncomfortably warm. it's making me think of the humid summer that's coming up, where it's so hot you can only lay in bed quiet with the air conditioner blaring.

i've been listening to alot of VOXTROT today, there is something so so lovely and sweet about them & they make me miss and think of my friend merek so much. because i want to share, here are two voxtrot songs for your downloading pleasure:
