You know the Songs for Eating and Drinking project I've got going with my buddy Hebb. (If not, check here.)Long story short, we followed up our foiled attempt to get to our Portland S.F.E.A.D two weeks ago, with a night I'll never forget. Last Saturday, after a year in the making and some gracious help from our beloved Sabzi, we were able to briefly unite Seattle's once-underground-but-now-erupting hip-hop community--at a dinner table set for... read more ›

Cody pulled together the funny little timelapse above, highlighting yours truly signing my last and final palette of Stevens Pass books at the warehouse. Can you say hand cramps? Big thanks to those of you who already nabbed a copy of my limited edition, self-published coffee table book in time for the... read more ›
