What Was That?!
Written by Trippe   
Tuesday, 30 May 2006, 4:37pm
The three days Fecal Face died, Electrelane, and Mob Deep. Decided to stop the site at one point, got so hyper and happy from my new found freedom that I collapsed for days... But I digress.

Electrelane Fucking makes me so pleased with life. I think that this video should be playing while you browse below.

Here is something that also makes me happy as Poo. While working at Irving's for our new top secret awesome project of death, I found these wonderful postcards in his trash. They're for a designer in Sweden... God, I need to move to Sweden.

So backwards and drunker we go to last Thursday where my hell began... well, not hell but life crossroads. Here The Mall starts it off at The Bottom of the Hill.

Thee More Shallows made me very very happy.

Last time I saw them was at Hotel Utah and they sounded a lot better this time around. Guess a months of touring Europe helped.

Ral Partha and The Mall... The Mall's going on tour and someone's not going.

Dee from Thee More Shallows and Ellery from The Mall. Good times.

Post "gig" disorder

Mistake= following Jesse to Pops.

not mistake= watching this dude drop his computer in the bar that he was carrying on his shoulder.

As Rick would say. "aaw, hell no. What's up, dog?!".

feels Norwegian

Oh, and here we are at Jesse's watching a movie after the bar closed. Pops serves Sparks and that kinda sucks. Sparks should be left to Albion alley and GG Park.

and Jesse serves airplane bottles of booze.

Jesse plays me a song.

I have a feeling this bottle has something to do with it.

[it was about here where I made up my mind that I stopping FF to concentrate on filmmaking... I got very very happy and was determined to stay up till dawn. A weight had been lifted on my shoulders and I would be done with blogging forever!]

time to get arty

mariah came over and we all decided to stay up till dawn in celebration... or I forced everyone to. i forgot... I have been called the Fun Nazi a few times.

Happy/ out of my mind me

and the moment we've been waiting for.

sunrise in the Mission

I slept sometime around here

and woke up and jesse and i prepared for the day. I drank in celebration... and started my "I'm making movies" hyperness. I've never been so worked up in my life. I planned on staying up till dawn again the following night to fully celebrate my new life of art expression artness.

and at GG park meeting new people/ playing duck duck goose! Good times.

Jesse wished I'd just shut up. Jesse gave me something that he said would take the exclamation out of John Trippe, but it didn't work. I was too much in a frenzy.

I got married!

This blurry photo represents the HUGE amount of sleep that I got after my body quit on me.

Softball Sunday ruled again, of course and then Chris invited us to see Mob Deep at Mezzanine. We had fun, but only stayed to hear a couple hits from the fellas. We wanted to go to the gold dust... Above was my sweet view for awhile.

I should shoot for Vibe. I rule hiphop photography.

Gold Dust is the best bar in SF. Super tourist bar. You should go there.

We didn't get there in time to give the band songs to play.

Korin

Man, I missed your name. :(

Outside, Joey's shooting photos inside a car with his cell phone. I went over to see what was up and asked if I could get one too. "Sure, go ahead", she said and gave me her card. Nice.

Best park in the city is 12 blocks straight up.

I forgot your name too like an idiot even though I asked like 10 times already.

Summer in the city.

And don't forget how hard they rule

Matt Moore in Paris

From Matt Moore: A new series of (entirely spraypaint) canvas painting created during a 1-month residency in Paris. A true evolution from the purely geometric abstractions I have explored in my past few exhibitions : Sun Ray Ricochet (Moscow 2011) + XYZ Axis (Cincinnati 2011) + Crystals & Lasers (Paris 2010) + Parallel Universe (Sao Paulo 2009) + 20/20 (Barcelona 2008). An exciting new chapter.


Barry McGee at Prism LA

Doug Neill emailed over a few photos from Barry McGee's opening last Friday at Prism in Los Angeles.


Further Collective Flagstaff Mural

The Further Collective: Mario Martinez (Mars-1), Damon Soule & Oliver Vernon were in Flagstaff last week collaborating on an outdoor mural at The Flagstaff Brewing Company located in the historical district of downtown Flagstaff, AZ.


INTERVIEW with Tristan Patterson

Director of the documentary film DRAGONSLAYER --> DRAGONSLAYER is a documentary about the skateboarder Josh "Skreech" Sandoval. He's a character and the film follows his many ups and downs dealing with young parenthood, competing, and relationships. However, rather then try and make some type of statement about him, it just presents him objectively in the way that he is through wonderful cinematography.


2 New Zines by Pacolli & Mildred

Got two new zines from Mildred and Pacolli for us to share with you. Pacolli's The Last Chance Kids is published through Volcom's Artist Series and is 40 pages and sells for only $7 printed on thick quality heavy stock.


Logan Crable's Blow Jobs

Logan Crable emailed us the other day with an offer to view his Blow Job series. Normally we don't get offers to view someone's porn project, but we quickly learned that the blowing is more in the literal sense as opposed to the pleasuring form.


Michelle Ramin & SFAI Grad Show

Thanks to Michelle Ramin for emailing us some her recent paintings. Michelle will be displaying her work as part of SFAI's MFA graduate show running this weekend and opening Friday, May 11th at the Pheonix Hotel here in San Francisco.


Interview with Jeff Depner

Whether conceptually motivated or intuitively created, the process of painting has been a main attribute in art for sometime now. Controlling the surface of a canvas is at the root of most contemporary painting. Vancouver native Jeff Depner's work creates avenues for visual discovery through a process based aesthetic. Layers upon layers of paint each relating to the next. Masking some, if not all, of the past creates a visual history within. The work ebbs and flows between graphic qualities and thick painterly styles with muted but contemporary feeling colors. The constant process of 'improvised moves' allows some of the work to be based in grid like structures. It allows some of the smaller paintings a chance for inquiry in constructive qualities and aspects of painting, inserting his work into the long history of painting.


If Bill Murray was a Triple Bacon Cheeseburger

Bay Area artist Cahill Wessel emailed over a couple gems- food/human hybrids with wonderful titles. Made our morning.
