Neither does his art. Mark Jenkins’ website has a great section on Street Installations. In what must be a very confusing situation to see, he displays what looks like bodies in weird positions such as halfway in a fountain, diving in a trashbag and even with their head through a wall.

I am curious to people reactions. It seems as though his stuff is all over the world, so I am wondering if anyone who reads this has ever seen one of his pieces.

We would like to give a big THANKS to our good friends at Uncle Magazine  for helping us get hammered the right way!

Friday night at Public Assembly, formally known as Galapagos, (we all remember Cut & Sewn’s epic Everyone Wants a Piece Party) brought good vibes, good people and excellent exclusive reading material.

Sponsored by New Rome, the night kicked off right with mix-masters Indian Giver. There wasn’t a single booty in the crowd that wasn’t shaking. Using a Girl-Talk minded mix, they spun their own original flavor with a very energetic guitarist, drummer and singer. Singing along with Bono takes cajones. Here’s a video quicky if you’re curious and feel free to download their sweet album, Taking It All Back: The Mixtape Album.

Closing the night was DJ Swaaan. He rocked the house, we danced until bedtime aka when our motor skills began to shut down.

So why were we there anyway? To celebrate Uncle Magazine’s launch of Issue II . To read it in full, click here.
In only a matter of days will you be able to get your hands on a hard copy. We assume you don’t want to have to look long for it, so here’s an answer to the savenger hunt.

If that’s not enough for you, put on Indian Giver’s Mixtape, load up the photo album of the night, and let the slideshow begin.

This week as I was roaming the streets of Noho, I noticed this contrast of black and white on the ground known as a crosswalk. As I approached 3rd St and Broadway, maybe, I found this:

This begs two questions:

1. Is that true? Has the origami I’ve been so fond of for years been for the uncool? Diddy told me he liked it!

2. Who is behind this?

In answering these, I found new depths of sadness. The first answer is a resounding yes. I didn’t know it, but I was tricked by supernerds to make origami; they schemed for a long time and finally pulled me in. Oh well, I still think I’ve been majorly suave giving origami cranes on all of my first dates. The second answer came to me in a dream or better yet, google. It turns out this crew, the Not So Cool Kids were just doing some advertising. Also unfortunately, I wasn’t the first to find this.

Have you seen this?

Today’s guest t-shirt comes from friend of the company, Dynah. When she isn’t looking good in our shirts, she’s hard at work at Bali What, her blog.

My lovely new Cut & Sewn shirt proclaims, “This is how I roll”.  How is it that I roll, you might ask?  On a pink TiLite AeroZ, with Natural Fit rims, Stimulite Contour cushion, and MaTRx Elite back.  That is, in a wheelchair.  There are a few cool pre-made wheelchair-themed t-shirts out there, but I wanted something special.  So the fine folks at Cut & Sewn took my wording and ran with it, creating the awesome piece of apparel you see here.

I met Janine Martel, the creator of Thumbook a few months ago. Not knowing if this was an undercover scheme, Janine pulled out a set of different colored stamp pads, asked me to smudge my thumb into the color of my choice, press it onto a page of her teeny tiny book, and draw a self portrait with her matching colored markers. As if my finger print couldn’t be more of a self-identifier, she had me write a quote or philosophy that I live by on the opposite page (see below).

Courtesy of gizmodo, these photos of a photoshop contest for the upcoming film the Watchmen, brings back our favorite movie (top 50) Home Alone along with a bunch of other funny scenes.

HOME ALONE!

In a continued tale of construction signs being hacked comes an incredible one. This one tweaks my heart strings of my childhood. Looking for the Princess before she even had a proper name was a big task I only completed a few times. (Geekadelphia)

Survival of the fittest? They all survived, but who won?

Have you ever walked to your expedia.com provided low-fare seat in 36E (Middle row, back of the aircraft) while passing the first class passengers? Isn’t it painful to see them already passing out from their pre-departure martini and provided pillow?

Imagine you have a chance to leave your mark on something. You could:

Instead, Gray got the ultimate, everlasting opportunity to mark his territory. Here’s what he wrote after the jump: (more…)

Name that game and you’ve found the key to my heart. I’ll give you a clue, it used the light gun (not pictured or legoed). Found on geekologie, great site by the way, is famous Nintendo game scenes in legos. Where is Blades of Glory or Jordan vs. Bird, though? More great legos by skinny coder after the jump.

This would be funny on shirt or a postcard, maybe not a billboard or children’s tv program. Would you rather be eaten by a bear or have to eat a bear cub?

‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ can be a dangerous thing affecting credit scores, bread supply, and even sadly, having a roof over your head. Sure hot kicks are cool and practically necessary, but beware the dangers ahead.
