houdini's eyes.

did you know that houdini died on halloween day? and that for a decade after his death his wife, bess, held a séance on october 31st in order to contact him? apparently shortly before his death, houdini made a pact with bess that if he could, he would return and make contact with her from the other side. they devised a coded message that only he and she knew, but after 10 séances in 10 years, bess had not received her husband's personal message. here is a recording of bess at her last séance in 1936.

conowingo.

just one of the many wonderful things i was a part of this past weekend.

get the picture?

an outtake from when i was going insane trying to take pictures of my work the other day {notice the grumpface and crazyhair}. i'm certainly not a product photographer and i'm going to have to give it another shot this week. boo. {also notice the à bout de souffle new york herald tribune shirt i got from ebay 5 years ago. sorry rodarte.}

like a fish.

in the last 2 days i've had my first, second and third swims of the summer. love it.

here comes the summer!

hey guys, i made this mix for my friend jackie, but i've been listening to it tons the past week so i thought i'd share it with everybody! it's got lots of summer-y, feel good-y, dance-y type songs. a little bit of soul, a little bit of punk, a few newer songs and lots and lots of 90's alterna. it's great for working in the studio, driving in the car, boomboxing in the park, and just generally lovin' life [if yr into that sorta thing]. click the cover to download and enjoy! xox.

featuring: the undertones, paul simon, the anniversary, otis redding, smashing pumpkins, tommy james and the shondells, huggy bear, the wedding present, etc!

networkin'.

i'm spending all of this morning {aaaand probably most of the afternoon} at a career fair. it's probably going to be hell on earth, but i have a feeling that something good will come from it {mostly because my magic 8 ball says so}.
