70 f'n degrees in the forecast today. Can you believe it? It's about time. No black flys yet either. Hot damn. Time to pimp out the back forty in preparation for selling the house this summer. Perhaps if I can get all this domestic shit done in the next few weeks I will indeed hock my wares downtown on saturday mornings.
I just figured it out. Death Cab For Cutie is this decade's Toad the Wet Sprocket. Yikes.

Ok so some fellow VT bloggers have ratted me out. For a little over a year I've been flyin' under the radar, keepin' it on the dl and just throw up my thoughts on this forum free-for-all. Truth be told I have always felt like an outsider here ever since I moved here with the now ex-wife in '97. It certainly was not what I expected or perhaps I have changed over the years. Tinymeat has been an outlet for ...
The sunny weather and warmer temps are finally here in the NE. About time. Now to get the lawnmower to the repair shop before there is a 2 month waiting list. Spending more time outdoors has me looking forward to some new music to accompany my adventures

yep, it's white trash sunday here at Tiny central. A can (not bottle or fountain drink) of coke completes the meal and allows one to savor the deep fried-oily-cod goodness all day long with each satisfying belch.
Ahhhhh Sundays.
Next time Bevs promises a cheeseburger and fillet-o-fish combo so I can make a tasty Surf n Turf
I was gonna say welcome to the end of the work week but over here there seems to be no beginning middle or end. Just days and days and days.
Bravo to Debbie (our new rep) for pimpin the merch in the most delightful way. You want gifts, she's got gifts. That should be her motto as she seems to be tuned into the gift store market. Thanks McMenamins, thanks Twigs.
Hot damn, it's a whopping 34 degrees this mornin'. Y'all know ...

Like this cool ass-crack emaciated rocker? Cool huh? It's another Guy Burwell creation and i'm putting them up on Etsy.com, in wallet form this evening. He took them along with the Happy Bellies and others to Flatstock at SXSW last week and promptly sold out.

Is it just me or is Amie Mann goin' for the full-on Tinkerbell look here?
Chicken Cordon Chimichangas? - I think not. Today is the birthday of Benito Juárez the mexican president and progressive reformer of the late 1800's. He said no to the French, lessened the power the Roman Catholics had on mexican politics and fought for the rights of his nation's indigenous Indian population. Viva La Reforma

Had a very productive weekend.
The Etsy shop is off to a great start. Thanks to our new friends and contacts. "Collab" anyone?

Had some great feedback from Flight001 the other day. The "exclusive" Tinymeat passport cases they carried over the holidays did quite well in their stores. I will be moving forward and releasing 14 ...

I am uploading the much anticipated iPod Nano cases to the TinyStore today. There are 20 all new (well for the Nano at least) designs with more coming. I will also be adding more full-size and iPod mini cases over the weekend. All said there are 70 cases for the world's favorite little player.
Check 'em out here
Please spread the word.
Everything is NOT going to be OK - A Scanner Darkly (trailer), Richard Linkletter's second attempt at bringing Rotoshopped animation to mainstream albeit mature audiences. Rumours have abound about Radiohead scoring (a first for the band) the future gone awry flick adapted from the Philip K. Dick novel.

Debating whether or not my daughter is old enough to see the new David Spade flick "The Benchwarmers". She is 5. At her mother's house she watched Star Wars, a movie that scared the crap out of me when I saw it when I was 10 (1977). A little potty humor, sight gags and gafaws hurts no one and is just the thing for some gut-busting good fun. Perhaps we will start with The Shaggy Dog which she has been ...
