Formotion Films Show This Friday!!!

Sponsored by The Visual Art Exchange -

From information collection and distribution, to pop culture, contemporary design, technology and urban living, Formotion Films aims to reference layers of society without explicitly naming them. Recycled visuals paralleled with audio backdrops create a filmscape that represents the over indulgent culture we live in today. The films of Lather, Rinse, Repeat attempt to expose this indulgence and are all made of previously used material and are 100% recyclable. Can recycling culture create change?

Warning – No Celluloid was harmed in the making of these films.

Onion Flats

A colleague passed on this website today of an architecture firm in Philly. This is a beautiful website, esp for an architecture firm. I love the family part of the firm.

Surfer Girl by The Beach Boys

I am currently reading the Pet Sounds book in the 33 1/3 series. I love this series because I learn something new each time I read a chapter in one of these books. So far, I have read the Pixies Doolittle, Beatles Let it Be and now The Beach Boys.

Today, the bit of information I have learned is that Surfer Girl was the first song that Brian Wilson wrote and that it was inspired by When You Wish Upon a Star by Jiminy Cricket. Brian Wilson used to sing it a lot as a child and if you think about it, the similarities are huge. What a great song. I feel so much smarter now.

YAHH GIBSON YAHHHH

YAHHHH!!! GIBSON YAHHHH!!!!!

Bachelor Shower

11 of my friends and I went down to Folly Beach, SC to celebrate Stacy and I getting married. It was a great weekend overall, from Taco Boy, to the Beach, to Explosions in the Sky LIVE! I couldn't ask for a better group of friends. Above is the group photo before we left on Sunday. What a great house, one block from the beach. Below is a photo from the tower we had which over looked the beach.

Raleigh Obama Tickets!!!

I stood in line this morning to get tickets to see Barack Obama speak in Raleigh tomorrow. Just last week, Stacy and I were able to see Michelle on NC State's campus and tomorrow we'll round out the couple. They only gave out 1200 tickets it seems and we have 2 of them (pictured below)!!














Here's an article about the line I stood in.

Below is a video of the line.

Have a Seat NC

Have a Seat NC is a local venture of AIA Triangle Young Architects Forum (YAF) to design and build a couple of bus benches for locations in Raleigh that currently do not have them. A charette will be held Saturday 05.03.08 @ 2-5PM at the NC State College of Design.

I helped with a bit of the conception of the idea and am now helping with the graphics and website. More info HERE
