I hope all of you are enjoying the holidays and hopefully 2009 has treated all of you well.
2010 should be a good year with lots of things to look forward to. It’s pretty exciting that John Bourke is moving to ny and also Preston, the founder of KissAtlanta.com (the other blog i write for) is moving to ny as well. I’m sure we’ll all be getting into a lot of trouble.
I’m currently working on an EP which i hope to release by spring so I’m pretty excited about that.
I wish all of you a ridiculous and debaucherous NYE.
The girls coordinating this flash mob wanted us to help spread the word and how could we resist? Check out there website at robogals.org. What they’re doing is pretty cool.
Robogals Inc. is a not-for-profit organization, which aims to increase the number of girls undertaking science, engineering and technology courses at university. This is done by training university students in LEGO robotics and then having them go to primary schools to teach school girls what they have learnt.

“He [George Bush] deserves to be hit with 100, not just one or two shoes. Who wants him to come here?”
-A Baghdad resident
So this happened. An Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at President Bush. Pretty awesome, I think.
Already there are variations of what is being thrown, some of which are Pokemon balls, ninja cats, heads, balls and pie. You can see more on this web forum!

Kill The Label just recently released their fly new t-shirt line, Revenge. Most of the designs pay tribute to early 90s style of hip wear. Go peep killthelabel.com and fork out some dough for a shirt or two!
So if you don’t know we started a kickass new monthly party called SHORT CIRCUIT at this rad pizza place (Sauced) in the Paseo Arts District. Its awesome for three reasons 1) ALL AGES! 2) THERE’S PIZZA 3) VIDEOBOOTH – so if you can’t go cause you don’t live in OKC just pay attention to #3 because its posted below. Thanks to everyone who jumped in there and made it interesting. It was my first time using iMovie, so give me a break if you think it sucks. The next one will be better. I forgot to credit the music so if you didn’t recognize it, it’s Justices’ Phantom Pt. II (Boys Noize Unreleased Turbine). Anyways, enjoy. The next Short Circuit is MAY 17TH, same bat time, same bat place.
