Derek Erdman's Digital Infinity Palace

CURRENT NOTES: Somehow in the last week I have witnessed four
different car accidents, though luckily I was the cause of none of them.
Accidents are common outside of my house, due to a grocery store
parking lot exit and the merging of two busy streets. Last week I saw
a car drive onto a busy downtown sidewalk and run into a garbage can.
A man who looked to be in his 60s jumped out the way after almost
getting hit and started hitting the car with his umbrella (a common thing
to have around here) while yelling, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
YOUNG PEOPLE? YOU'RE RUINING SOCIETY!"

PERMANENT STYLE: Andrew Lamb Schultz, Beth Hoeckel
Ashley Armitage, Derek Erdman SAT MAY 30TH 2pm - 10pm

^^^REALLY GOOD ART SHOW, YOU SHOULD GO^^^

CURRENT NOTES #2: Just as I was sitting here typing that, I heard
somebody yelling on the street, so I went to see who it was. There was
a woman walking slowly in half-circles with what looked like blue cake
frosting spread thick on her hair, though it could have been hair dye,
I don't really know what that looks like. I said hello as she walked by
and she ignored me, and then I asked if she had cake frosting on her
head. "FUUUUUCK YOU!" she replied.

JUST THINKIN' #4: Sometimes I worry about whether I'm a good force
in the world, or if I create more harm than good. Then I get to thinking
that I'm probably thinking way too much about myself and I should
maybe have a child so I will think less about myself. And then I usually
say out loud, "NOOOO WAY!" and jam a bunch of Triscuits into my
mouth and lay on the couch and read magazines.

BOOK TALK #7: Have you ever read Story of the Eye by Georges
Bataille? I've continued my dorky habit of reading while walking and
have to say that it was a delight to read that book, even though it was
wall-to-wall filth and I like to think of myself as prudish. Read it if you
like gross!

TERRIFYING SAD PHOTO: Click here if you want to see it, but it will
probably totally bum you out, so maybe don't click it. I took it while
walking downtown at 5pm on a Wednesday and asked if it was
okay to take and publish and then paid $25 in cash.

Bobby Clarke is a hockey player born in 1949. I don't know
a lot about this person or hockey, but I do know that he married
a lady named Sandy and lives in New Jersey, which is also the
name of a hurricane that mashed up New Jersey, so I'm just
saying: watch out for people, they can be sneaky.

Family Ventriloquism, SEATTLE WA 2015

DID YOU KNOW: Fear of ventriloquist's dummies is called
automatonophobia. It also includes fear of wax dummies or animatronic
creatures and Taylor Swift. God, she's THE WORST.

Wall of Paintings, CHICAGO IL 2015

This is one of three walls from an art show with Marieke
McClendon last month in Chicago. If you came, thanks a
whole lot. If you didn't, thanks to you as well, I don't even care,
whatever.

May Day! May Day!, SEATTLE WA 2015

May 1st in Seattle is a really big deal, when the local
crusties put on masks and throw bricks through the
window of the nearest Urban Outfitters, which sells a
coffee table book of May Day rioters at home with
with their parents, enjoying fancy dinners.

A Bunch of People, CHICAGO IL 2015

This is a bunch of people at an art show with Marieke
McClendon last month in Chicago. If you came, thanks a
whole lot. If you didn't, thanks to you as well, I don't even care,
whatever.

Sea Triumph, FORKS WA (2nd Beach) 2015

While I'm not really into weed, about a year ago I decided that I wanted
to be known as the guy who "rolls really big joints," and then earlier
today on Second Beach some random guy walked by and stopped
and said, "hey, I know you, you're the guy who was at Doe Bay rolling
really big joints," and in my head I was like, "HOLY SHIT IT WORKED!"
And then I took this photo of Ashley which is pretty much how I was
feeling as the guy who never has to roll really big joints ever again.

Beats by ERD, SEATTLE WA 2015

Sub Pop intern Bella Pham was so happy to help me
pioneer the BEATS BY ERD headphones just now,
as pictured. Today is the best day of my life.

Brian + Marieke, CHICAGO IL 2015

Brain owns the Deadly Prey Gallery in Chicago &
Marieke is one of my top five favorite people.
She is holding a brick of cheese that we cut into
very large cubes so that we could watch people
eat large cubes of cheese all night long. Large
cubes of cheese are really gross!
