from now on... please stop doing long-winded projects for free. also... make sure you get people to credit you from time to time , you know, just for kicks - which leads me to another ponderance... time to drop old gigs and get some new ones. i've done about as much as i can do. also... i'm getting close to securing space for all of this divergent creative crap. BHAM is finally get a cohesive gig @ SXSW this year. This is being setup, of course, by SKYBUCKET RECORDS .

1. alison hulsey . a little over 26 miles in a little over 3 hours. she placed 1st in her age group and 7th over all... out of hundreds and hundreds of people. after the race we have a very cool brunch with most of our closest friends. alison got to see more friends during the race in various "cheering sections" of the city. alison's sister, liz... ran the 1/2 marathon and finished 9th overall. both in the top 10 for their races. amazing. 2. jessica simpson . she's a few pounds heavier... and i think she looks sexy & healthy. i'm proud of someone who'm in the past has demostrated a vapid lack of societal awareness - now doing something noticeably positive... by just being herself. i'm not really into her new redneck post dukes of hazzard persona... but hey, a gig is a gig and i bet she has a big living room. i doubt she's ever read susan faludi's backlash , but she's at least doing something, to address female body image issues,...

i'm doing some cleaning up re: all of the various online / social networking, content, musaic sites that i help manage. as of march 1st... i'll be eliminating my myspace profile. i'm already doing away with wownthesky's profile. in their place, i have (like everyone else) started using facebook exclusively, and i have updated my long dormant flickr profile with hundreds & hundreds of photos. recently i deleted my two verb accounts, as it seems that framework/site just never picked up steam. i'll be maintaining my vimeo (video) pages, but will do some consolidating there as well. i have done massive redesigns to my blog and my design-bookmarklet site @ tumblr.com, as well as custom coding for my flickr page. take a gander at the updated incarnations & redesigns: my profiles: weownthesky.com / official site vimeo.com/weownthesky / video clips via weownthesky vimeo.com/averyco / my personal video site my flickr page / all of my images averything.tumblr.c...
