KID ROBOT had a toy signing at thier SoHo store. I keep asking everyone to confirm how BADASS these are. So let me set a few things straight…

  • Yes, I went the Kid Robot at 6pm to buy a set of “dolls”
  • No, I will not tell you how much I spent on them (it’s easy enough to figure out)
  • Yes, I went back at 6:30 to GET ON LINE to get all four signed
  • No, I will not sell them on e-bay (even though I could make a fortune)

So this toy signing was like nothing I’ve ever been to before. All of humanity came together for free Red Stripe, kickass music and of course, the chance to discuss the meaning of life.

One discussion that my line-mates and I had was regarding which cultural category we now belonged to. I felt that waiting on line to get some dolls signed might make me a bit of a dork. Another person in line said that she liked to think that we were hipsters. Yet another person liked the word “geek” because he also was a member of the masses that waited on line to see Star Wars. Whatever the label, we were all sweating our asses off to get these toys signed. I can’t explain what made me wait online to do this, but I (only partially joking) told everyone that this was our Woodstock. Are we all dorks because that made everyone laugh?

If anyone has any pictures of the signing or knows of all the film cameras that were there, let me know.

OK, so the good music keeps on coming. I got me the new Roots CD yesterday for my birthday! The Tipping Point is amazing. Does anyone know what Black Thought is saying in “Don’t Say Nuthin'”? They are giving away $4000, so check out thier website @ the roots @.

And check this out. ?uestlove’s (no that’s not a type-o) record library! I’ve seen the roots more than once in concert and they give the BEST live show I’ve ever been to. I was completely blown away. I was disappointed with the Gang Starr, Mos Def, etc… concert I went to at BBKings. It was worth it for sure, especially to hear Mos Def. I really need to see more of him before long. The Roots entire concert was great! The sound was great, the vibe was great, the croud was awesome. I saw them once at the knitting Factory. I was right in the front row (which you know if you read my website archives).

Anyone out there sick of wack rap? Can I get a witness?

Check out this dope set of action figures! It was one of my Christmas presents and I’m so psyched. I also joined Netflix and that’s been great. It’s forcing me to watch movies that I’ve never seen before, and J and I are getting each other up to speed on movies we think the other person should watch.

Things have been kindof boring lately. I got a lot of nice stuff for Christmas, but I think the after-holiday slump has hit me. Of course I try to make up new years resolutions, but it doesn’t feel like another year is here. We went to the aquarium this past weekend and it was nuts. Does anyone want 2 free kids tickets. We got them at an auction for my mom’s nursery school.

Happy New Year!

Tonight I have my pre-birthday dinner with family. This is going to be a nice break from all the moving stress. Don’t get me wrong, I am very excited about moving, but it seems to have worn me out somewhat. Can’t wait to eat some good food.

New CD’s I want to get: Ownerz by GangStarr (I forgot the rest).

I hope to have new pictures of my apartment up soon. There is a sandbox out back for Mr. Turtle, I hope that sand is safe for him. Maybe I will dig up the sand and put some dirt in it. Either way he’s got a very cool play house now.
