Hey kids,
So this is something I’ve been meaning to promote for a while now and just haven’t gotten around to it yet because, y’know, I’ve got other stuff going on.
What kind of stuff? you might ask? Personal stuff, OK? Why don’t you back up off of my shit? Alright?
Alright.
Anyway. What was I saying before you so rudely tried to get into my business?
Oh. Right.
My good friends Lindsey and Jared have recently started a podcast and it is one of my very favorite things. It’s called Double Jump Spirit and it’s… quite difficult to describe, actually.
There is no set theme or topics of discussion for the podcast as a whole or for individual episodes. Lindsey and Jared just show up every two weeks — hopefully, soon to be every week — and talk about whatever is on their mind, or Lindsey’s thirty pages of notes, that day. Popular reoccurring subjects include: gaming, movies, TV shows, Netflix, Amazon, technology, general nerdiness, Lindsey yelling at Jared, groceries, cats, awesomeness, unicorns, Zebra Cakes, and — scarily enough — yours truly.
Double Jump Spirit is always fun and funny and charming and awesome, even when Lindsey is yelling at Jared — or at me, even though I am not there when they record or in any way affiliated with the podcast — which is quite often.
You should be listening.

After a pretty lively debate about hipsters — initially, because I was earlier referred to “the king of comic book hipsters” by my friend, Diana, that quickly escalated into… something else entirely, because of who I have foolishly chosen to befriend ; ) — my “good friend” Dirk Shearer defended my non-hipster ways and threatened, and then immediately acted upon said threat, to illustrate what I would look like if I were a hipster.
With friends like these… : )
Hey Clevelanders!
You know how you’re all sitting at home, going “What do you wanna do this weekend?” And then that voice in your head says “I dunno. What do you wanna do this weekend?” And then you just end up staying home, watching reruns of Cops.
Man, you guys really need to get out more.
Well, you’re in luck! ‘Cause I know exactly what you’re gonna do this weekend!

With The Avengers movie starting principal in the Cleveland area, The Pop Shop Gallery in Lakewood — in collaboration with over 25 Cleveland based artists — have created a multitude of artworks both inspired by and paying homage to the Marvel Comics super hero team.
How cool is that? A superhero-inspired gallery show right in your backyard!
Wait. ‘Cause it gets better!
My very good friend Joel Jackson — who recently did this awesome Punch-Up pin up — has two pieces in the show!
Avenging Cleveland opens this Saturday, July 9th from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM at The Pop Shop Gallery, located at 17020 Madison Ave Lakewood, OH. You can read more about the show here.
Should be a lot of fun. See you there!
Hey kids,
A few weeks ago, my good friend Justin Shady used the top portion of an old photo my my Pop Pop and I — highlighting how awesome my Pop Pop was — as his blog header for the month of March.

Well, I just discovered today that Justin also used the bottom portion of the photo — y’know, the part that highlights how amazingly cute I am — as his blog header for the month of April!
(Ladies, you may begin commenting on how amazingly cute I am.)

Thanks, Shady! It’s an incredibly awkward honor to grace the header of The Blarg.
