Some yokels found Bigfoot in Georgia

and kept his body in a freezer for a while...



from the new york times:

One photograph provided to the news media showed what resembled a gorilla — or maybe an old sheepskin rug — lying twisted in a freezer, with a dollop of intestines protruding from its belly.

“There’s a lot of comment being made that it looks fake, or it looks like a suit,” Mr. Dyer said. “But these people wasn’t there when I was sweating, pulling this thing through the woods.”

Tom Biscardi, a longtime Bigfoot booster from the Bay Area, who traveled to Georgia to see the animal, said he was “150 percent” sure that the carcass was a Bigfoot, an American Indian legend whose modern fame dates to an elaborate “footprint” hoax perpetrated at a Northern California logging camp in 1958.

“This is ‘Eureka!’ man,” said Mr. Biscardi, whose operations include a Bigfoot Web site, a Bigfoot merchandise line and a Bigfoot Internet radio show. “I touched it.”

Both Mr. Biscardi and Mr. Dyer said they expected skeptics to discount the find, which is being kept in a freezer in an undisclosed location outside Atlanta. But they promised even more proof, including video, a DNA test and, of course, a mission to capture one of the big guys.

“I’m not asking anyone to believe us,” Mr. Dyer said. “I’m just asking them to sit and watch, because you’re going to eat your words.

Rainy days///good old fashioned lines

It is really rainy here in Fort Collins. It is supposed to be gray and wet all weekend. Coincidentally it is also "New West Fest" here this weekend. So, all of Fort Collins is trekking downtown to eat turkey legs and corn on the cob, drink micro-brews and spend money in the rain. Perfect, right?


so it is cold and boring and we've been trying to occupy ourselves here at the house...

i bought a pack of uno cards at the dollar store
and i realized i LOVE the design on them



look at those lines! and that color! and that sans-serif font! can you ask for cleaner design? i will answer for you; no.

i know, "uno cards? lame."
but i am bored, and my feet are cold, so whatever. draw two chud.

DOUBLEPLUSGOOD - red light green light

Eric (double plus good) is one of my favorite electronic musicians. We toured together last summer. I met him while living in Eugene, Or. He is not only a gifted writer, programmer and producer, but I mean, listen to his voice! It is incredible.

Eric moved to Portland to make music and start a record label (SoHiTek)
they are working on releases right now (http://sohitek.blogspot.com/)
make yourself aware of his music
if you know what is (doubleplus)good for you.

and it came with spectral marijuana glasses.

their new album drops in SEPT
it has a song on it called "hologram buffalo"
and was recorded completely with solar power.
they are playing in Denver on Friday (go see them if you aren't going to see Tables & Chairs at the meadowlark)
