Birthday Madness

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the annual birthday bash. Dinner was fantastic and the party after was so much fun! We took over that whole place. Really pleased at how many people showed up! So much so that I'm not really that annoyed over the ones that didn't! (Still...Grrr.) I even had my pal Barry and his girl Sue attend and they're visiting from the UK. (Suck on that, locals. Mwhahaha.) Here are pics of me and some of the attendees. Do NOT steal these pics or I will have my Wiccan friends put a hex on you. Thanks again all!

So many more people not pictured! I wish I would have taken more pictures but I was too busy drinking, chatting and having a blast! Thanks again to everyone! 

 

Breaking News: Jimmy Aquino Celebrates Birthday!

Happy birthday to me! See you all at the party! Well, except The Joker. 

Harley Quinn on the other hand...

My Grown Up Birthday List

It's my birthday tomorrow, December 9th! People always ask what I want. So, tacky as it may seem, I set up an Amazon wish list a few years back. And though people think they are impersonal, I love gift cards (especially from Amazon and Midtown Comics here in NYC). But in all honesty, even though I jokingly make a big to do about it, I don't expect anything from people. 

Also, I really don't want to come across as an ungrateful ingrate who grates on your nerves while standing on a grate. But...don't need alcohol (I work in a bar & have tons at home), joke gifts, clothes (I'm a chub rock & hard to size), comic books, DVDs or music (unless it's on the wish list above, I probably have it already).

Wow. That does sound ungrateful! Really not meant to be, kids. Just a helpful gift guide for people. If you did get me any of the above, rest assured I will appreciate and enjoy!

Of course, you can never go wrong with buying me a lap dance at the club later. WHAT WHAT?!!

Molly Crabapple's Week In Hell: The Video!

Some of you may remember me mentioning my pal Molly Crabapple and her Week In Hell. Filmmaker Keith Jenson shot a short video on it and describes the project. 

"In September of 2011 artist/illustrator Molly Crabapple locked herself in a hotel room in New York City, covered the walls in paper and set about covering that paper with art. Funded with an impressive Kickstarter campaign Molly drew 270 feet of art over the course of a week. A week filled with musicians, performers, press, absinthe and drawing."

Me and my roommate Ben Templesmith attended the closing night party and make a little cameo in the video above. Even MORE incentive to check it out! Kudos to Molly on this fantastic feat! Look for the collected art book to be available from IDW Publishing some time in early 2013. 

 

 

Star Wars Love: Elf and Cello Divisions

These following two videos seemed to appear online around the same time over the past week. The first one stars my pal Casey McKinnon. And it is awesome! Enjoy Elf Sabers.

 

And this one is just musically bad ass. It speaks for itself. Enjoy Cello Wars: The Phantom Cellist.

 

Kudos to all involved in the videos above! Great job!

And, I'll go ahead and throw this old one in just for funsies.

 

Hey, boobs and lightsabers are the way to my heart. Start lining up, ladies.
