Shameless self-promotion here, but you, faithful readers should check out this AWESOME video of me and Mike's AWESOME band playing an AWESOME show at Ronny's a couple of weeks ago:
the catburglars at ronnys (chicago) march 6th, 2009 from acid marshmallow on Vimeo.
Also, I find the need to include a video of a band we played with that night, THE POINTS from Washington D.C.
the points at ronnys (chicago) march 6th, 2009 from acid marshmallow on Vimeo.
As you can see, they were phenomenal. Good guys too. They went to high school with Danny McBride (that "Eastbound and Down" dude) which is really cool. Their singer looks a lot like Buddy Bradley and I love Travis' four on the floor stop through every song. Check them out at THEIR MYSPACE PAGE.
Enjoy, you savages.

Couch Drawings
In the first issue of HOT FOOD, I included some pags of Matt Bremer and Chris Wilson's artwork that they drew in 2006(?) while we sat on our couch eating junk food, watching T.V., and dropping out of life. I also have some drawings from this time and I'm going to upload them here.
yep, there ya go.
the chicago hardcore messageboard is pretty boring.
a guy with Matt Bremer's bong for a head, crazy I know! I like how his voice bubble is smoke. Of course a bong and a wizard are friends. Cool Leather jacket too, for a guy with a pipe head.
I thought it was understood that a lot of times when you go to the beach drunk people will build sand castle dicks and boobs and stuff late at night, but nobody knew what I was talking about! Maybe you guys were just going to the wrong beaches. But when my family wanted to get up all early to go out and see all the sand dollars that washed up on the shore, I was instead looking for naughty sandcastles.

MORE FLEYRS
So sometimes people are like "Dude that's a good flyer!" and I'm like "Thanks!" so even though I didn't draw these ones I figured I'd post 'em anyway, since that also means that I can put off scanning more for a little bit.
click to see 'em up close!
With retard-level photoshopping skills like this... I am wondering why so many people tell me that they like the flyers that I make. This isn't the laziest flyer I've ever made but it's in the top 5.
More sleazy boobage. Nigel hates this flyer cuz it's got a jock on it I bet.
Another lazy flyer, whoopdie doo, 3 for 3! No boobs on this one but it's okay. I think it took me a long time to spell our band name out in the CRIME letters. Looks pretty shitty!
An army guy getting mauled by a ton of hot and bothered chicks, now THIS is a flyer! I wanted to make a "logo" for the catburglars and put it everywhere and everyone would be like "i know what that is!" but then it was only on this flyer and our 2nd e.p. I wanted it to be cool like Rocket From The Crypt or something. I forgot to make it look cool though, oh well... c'est la vie! This flyer looks really good and I made it in like 3 seconds.
This was the first show I ever set up! My friend Liz's band, LIBYANS came from Boston, man did this show SUCK. I felt so bad for them and a little embarassed that I did such a shitty job! Oh well, that's punk for ya I guess. Actually, this show was really fun.
Nigel Rowdy Jackson directed me to make this flyer. He wanted one with Hitler on it and the caption at the bottom. I ripped his body, the record player, and the musical notes from google image search and literally every other part of the flyer from an issue of CRAPHOUND.
SHOOT IT UP didn't shit on anybody or anything wacky at this show, but a guy pulled his dick out and put it in my face while we were playing.
I love PISSED JEANS, man! I sure spent a lot of time on this flyer. I ripped off most of those chicks and some of that food from a painter named MEL RAMOS. You can see all of them and more HERE.
This flyer is pretty good! Great lineup for a show too, even though HOMOSTUPIDS were a bit underwhelming. Gotta catch 'em on the right day I guess. I don't feel slighted though, that band rules.
A great day at Lucky Gator Loft! I wanna say that was the 2nd to last BUSY SIGNALS show in the states. CHEAP TIME were good, WAX MUSEUMS were great, we were... there.
adios!

As you can see
I did indeed find something better to do. I read two issues of HUMANBEING LAWNMOWER, drank two Red Bull Colas, ate 2 vegetarian "hot dogs", drank two bottles of Peak Organic Espresso Amber Ale, bought toilet paper, peanut butter cap'n crunch, and cigarettes, took a dump, read the FART PARTY COMICS book, went with Meg to get our bikes cuz we foolishly left them at the bar last night, smoked a bowl, ate more "hot dogs", and... well that's it. So There ya have it. Suck on that!

SUM FLYERS I DONE MADE BEFORE
Hey fruitcakes! Got the day off today and I thought I'd scan some of my shit to post here starting with some show flyers I've made. I'm posting the ones I've already scanned first in case I find something actually fun to do and give up. Click on 'em to see the full size, tardo.
I am quite proud of this flyer. Quite proud indeed. Plus it got me and Nigel Rowdy Jackson into the show for free so that's not bad either! Even though every band except the Meatmen sucked.
The flyer for what was SUPPOSED to be the release party for HOT FOOD #1 except for two things. 1.) I wasn't there, I was out of town at a wedding I barely got drunk at. 2.) I never printed the zines beforehand. I drew this flyer at work. No offense to skinheads or heshers.
Meg's favorite thing I have ever drawn. This was the actual release party, it was a pretty good time.
We celebrated Valentine's Day a day late last year. According to Darius and a few other witnesses, one of the two young ladies in the band BARREN were displeased with the "graphic depiction" on this flyer. Why is anybody's guess. Who cares. I asked them about it and they wouldn't own up to it. Chronic Seizure covered Bikini Kill at this show.
This dork I used to work with named Steve (I think?) became a bartender at Cobra Lounge. He talked some shit about us at this show and I told him to fuck off before we left, boo hoo :( :( :( :(
Remember when this sort of hot nutcase was a pussy hair away from running this country?
I fucking hate Mike Love. Nobody I work with "got" this flyer, a lot of them are in bands too. What kind of bands don't know about the Beach Boys? REALLY shitty ones. You can see how lazy I was only drawing their heads. Sorry about that. There are a very limited number of giant posters of this. If you want one let me know.

The RedEye is a piece of shit newspaper.
Popinski here. Fuck you. I'm going to watch T.V. something about Hookers For Jesus is on. Here's a blog entry I wrote. You're welcome.
The RedEye is the most read "newspaper" in Chicago. It's half written in internet jargon and the other half are buzzwords.
Someone the other day was reading this near me and the entire page was dedicated to the watchmen movie, with Dr. Manhattan (the naked blue guy on every bus and billboard in the city) with his dick covered up by the words "FULL FRONTAL DUDITY"
I was going to say I can't believe they thought this was clever enough to print, but then I realized I can believe it. What I can't believe is that 90% of the people who saw that thought it was FUCKING HILARIOUS.
Idiocracy is coming true and it's the people you work with who quote it around the office (to shake it up when Flight Of The Conchords lyrics need a break for a breath or two) who are bringing it to you. I mean I wish The Onion A.V. Club wasn't so smug and trying really hard to be, at that. But when the RedEye tries to be hip it's so fucking pathetic it makes you cringe, like when you see really old guys trying to dress in current fashions intended for teenagers walking around in the Gold Coast. It's like, dude. You're balding. You can't do that with your hair.
As it happens, I have found the original first draft of the article in question! I will repost it here for you all to enjoy!
FULL FRUNTAL DUDITY
"I thought this was a great movie until I saw all them DICKS! YUCK! It had BADASS superheros and a HOT fucken dirty little slut. Shit. My friend Bobby tol me the same guy made this movie that made that other comic book movie. Whats it called... Three-Hunnert. You know, that one movie with all those totally RIPPED dudes fighting each other! Bobby told me I was a real faget for liking that movie. He's like, "Only a real faget would like THAT movie!" and I was all "No way! Only a real faget wouldn't like that movie!" Well, it looks like Bobby was right. That movie musta been gay after all! Hollywood needs to start learning to stop tricking reg-lur strait guys like me and you into seeing queerbo movies like this by making them seem so fucken' badass in the preview and then you get there and it's this brokeback shit."
Invigorating!

Hi, my name is Luca
Here I am, reentering the "blogosphere" as you internet-savvy types would call it. I have incredibly high hopes for "Hot Food: The Online Version". I'll make my first post cohesive with Mike's prior ones. Here is an MS Paint drawing I made of myself sometime back in 2005 when I worked at an Office Depot AKA the worst time period of my life. Enjoy.
