Cold

Mother Nature must think today is April Fool's Day. Ha! Ha! We get it! You can stop now.

Potrait Society of America

Justin is the bomb. This piece of his was chosen as a finalist in the Portrait Society of America's annual portrait competition. Out of 1200 entries, 20 were chosen to show as finalists at the conference in Philadelphia this April. Not that this is surprising, but how cool is he??

Easter

Yes, it's a day late, but Bdog's egg designs are still cool.

The Scooter Lounge

I saw a brand new, shiny green Stella at church a few weeks ago and remembered how awesomely cool they are. Everyone should have one. And you can find them at Dave's totally cool shop, The Scooter Lounge. This is scooter weather. And it's at 600 N State St. in Orem.

After 49,000 issues and glitches, my website is finally up and running. Please spread the word. Miracles do happen!

Conversation

Em to 17 yr. old brother: "So, you're going on a road trip with a bunch of your teenage friends. Is that safe?"

17 yr. old brother: "Dude, two of them are 18."

Em: "So? You could be more responsible and mature than them. What does 18 mean?"

17 yr. old brother: "It means they can sign stuff. And buy dry ice."

This Guy

Meet Ted Sablay. He's our new roommate. Now that he's done with his world tour, he's decided to go to medical school. He's the rocket scientist type and would love a job somewhere in the medical field. So spread the word. Ted is very cool and we think Utah will like him.

Bat For Lashes

Just awesome.

Lone Peak Carving

I'm not really a cowboy, though I wish I was, but just look at how awesome these fireplace mantels are that I shot on Friday. Maybe they could carve the Fab Four into one just for me.

The Daily UnCool

Rock 'n roll can be a very lonely sport for wives. But good change has been a long time coming and I think that's what this is. See you a little later Bdog. {And love the front seat..}

Puddin

Here's the pudding that Katie and I made AGAIN today. We decided we're going to have a chocolate pudding experiment until we come up with a recipe of our own that's dark & rich enough. Any tips?

All The Cool Kids

Ryan Tanner is the bomb. He's a designer, photographer, musician, lover of Diego's, and fun to road trip with. We love him because he knows that rock 'n roll shows warrant beautiful art to advertise them.

Red Mango

The rumor is true. There IS a Red Mango in SLC. And one coming to Orem. I have been craving the yummy tart, tart, tartness. It's like eating yogurt in Blugaria. Skip the green tea though...you'll be bummed. 6950 South Park Center Dr. - Cottonwood Heights

Fab

I decided to go green with the bag making. From now on, they'll be made from used clothing and vintage fabrics only. Here's my latest find at DI and Savers.

Coal Umbrella

Look how cool Provo is. This is Coal Umbrella. It's more than a record store, more than a vintage boutique. My friends Maht and Liz Paulos - together with Jessie and Trevor Huish - have more than I thought up in that store. The custom light switch covers, cool books and calenders, Liz's custom jewelry, a place for Maht's vintage coats (which I always adored while playing music together at the Mathematics Etc... HQ) and of course an all vinyl selection of new records, I love it all. And I can't forget the patch collection. Too much cool stuff to list. Jessie makes the books and puts together the "gold" room while Trevor does all the vinyl - (and does a hell of a job i'd say). Just go there! And buy something. Come support locally owned businesses in downtown P-town. It's at 157 N. University Ave.

Melissa Peck

Here is another amazing artist. She's a friend of the illustrious BUSTIN TAYLOR. She's MELISSA PECK and her work is just plain rad. Rad, rad, rad. Go see more of her work on her site and info on shows. I love it.

Favorite Things

Here is a little tin box that Kaerlig gave me for my birthday 15 years ago. I still have it 'cause I'm a psycho over things that are blue and white. It's sits in my office now where I look at it every day. I love it because not only is it a present from my lover Luchessie, but also 'cause it matches my grandma's dishes that I now own.

Cool Moms

I had a rock climbing adventure last night with some ladies from the hood. It was so fun and we're all AWESOME. We totally want monthly memberships now.

WellaBrella

I wanted one of these so bad when they were for sale. I'm too late. I wanted it not only because it's a totally cool umbrella, but mostly because I love Paul Weller so much. I wish he was my uncle. Maybe I can buy this one from Noel Gallagher.

Siddhartha

It's been 10 years since I last read this. It's as good this time as the first. I love it, love it.

Simple...Stitch It Shoes

I don't know what's cooler....making your own shoes, or the music on the instruction video. Anyone have a pair of these? See it here.

Flight Of The Conchords

I know everyone in the world is obsessed with this show. And rightfully so...but are you as obsessed as Branden Campbell? So obsessed that while on our Wonderful Wilco Weekend in Denver, he politely declined an invitation by John Stirrat himself to stay longer at the after party and hang with the band? "No thanks," he said. "We're gonna head back to the hotel and catch Flight Of The Conchords. It's the last episode. Have you seen it?"

We laughed at Bdog the rest of the night for saying that. And also laughed while watching the show. Then it was business time.

Bdog's Socks

He's famous for them...

The Thanks They Get

Don't get me wrong, I love Dave Grohl and he's great and he holds a special little Nirvana place in my heart. But why in the world wide web would they give the grammy to the Foo's and not to Wilco? After all, isn't it supposed to be for the BEST album? There's not a Wilco album that I don't love, but Sky Blue Sky stands apart. Get it if you don't have it already. Go HERE. Wilco is so unappreciated by the world. It's a crying shame that they don't know what they're missing.
