I say a lot of crap.
Most of the time I believe it.
And sometimes I question myself.
“Would I be preaching ‘positive thinking’ from a wheelchair? Or would my pink colored glasses crunch under the weight of hardship?”
But every once in a while something happens that makes me think this whole “spreading the pink” Lifestyle Artist path [...]

Hug Tour Shirts

January 26, 2009

I’ve been meeting with my friend at American Pig Clothing to plan and produce a “Tour Shirt” for the 2009 Hug Tour.
Now, i LOVE designing shirts. Most of what I wear are one-off shirts I’ve created at Cafepress.com or Spreadshirt.com. But their systems are pretty limited in the type of shirt and printing you [...]

The Journey

August 21, 2008

I leave on Saturday for my 11th Burning Man.
But for me, the pilgrimage began 2 months ago.

The preparation weeks are bliss for me.

My world becomes a [...]

90 secs – Pink Fur Tribute

June 18, 2008

My glorious pink steed has fallen.
I left her at the train station too long. (in a bad place.)
Transit Auth. clipped the lock and took it to lost and found. Lost and found refused to take it cause it was too mangy and dirty.
This video is a 90 second tribute taken from this week’s HugNation [...]

Andicat and I are driving up early to get there by 9. Unfortunately, they do not have parking for Huggy, so the Hugmobile has to stay [...]
