Hmm, so that’s what a thousand business cards looks like. Well, the top row is maybe 300 or so. There’s another row beneath it, with the other 700 packed in neatly. These arrived yesterday after much frustration with UPS. They should’ve been delivered on Friday, but the delivery guy got his panties in a bunch over the way the address was formatted and I had to jump through a couple hoops and then wait over the weekend and all day Monday. No big deal, but I think ordering from “Overnight Prints” had my instant-gratification gland working overtime. Anyway, they’re here now and I’m happy to have them. Professional quality! No more Kinko’s for me.

I’m in a production company with some friends which we call Magic Beans Productions. Our most recent project is a music video for the song “Blackout” from punk band Scatterbox’s new album “Sudden Movements” out on Clickpop Records. I did these quick-n-dirty storyboards for the video and also “acted” in it as Skeleton Man, making this the third masked and non-speaking role I’ve had in a Magic Beans production. We shot it yesterday and are presently in post-production. As with our last production, this was a journey into the surreal. It may be hard to glean much of the feeling of the video from the boards, but from what I saw and experienced yesterday, it will be magical. I’ll provide more news and details as things progress.
