bike pub crawl





This theoretically happened after josh & andy's party. everyone was he zui le ( chinese for drunk ). half the people were too drunk to make it and those who did only made it halfway. it took 4 hours to make it halfway. next time i will delegate organization to someone who is organized.

josh and andy bbq






killer party. Held 14 floors above the ground in a prime location of the 2nd ring road halway between dong si shitiao and jianguomen. from this height you could really get a feel for how much construction is happening before the olympics!
favorite thing about the party was not only did they have the forsight to fill a water cooler full of and especially delicious punch they also had a schwarr cook. genius.

more night holga stuff



I tried shooting more holga long exposure stuff at night in tiananmen. it was way brighter than i realized. I overexposed everything. when your light meter says 4 seconds dont expose for 1 minute! anyways these photos are not great but i thought i would throw them up here anyways to buffer the rest of beijing party pictures. I like the silhouette of the guard in the 2nd one and want to go back and try and shoot this again.

whatever bar




our buddy jackson was doing a guest bartending spot at this new bar named the whatever bar. Here is a photo of jackson and debauchery that ensued.

the swedes






here are the swedes ( the ones who asked us not to kill them ). we hit nanjie for the all you can eat and drink for 50 kuai special! it got ugly..... again.

I have no idea what is going on in the photo of josh...

Martin's Sheng Ri




Love Lessons

Here is my first published column. The column is a weekly english lnguage section of china daily post and targeted at college students. The paper Is read by around 250,000 people. I am pretty stoked about it. I have done 2 so far and tried to make them subtly subversive. The second article which will be published next week sucks. They liked the slang in the first on and want me to get howerd stern in the 3rd.

calligraphy class#4


Over the weekend I was ill and it shows in the lack of power my calligraphy possesses!
the characters are:
ping = equal & balance
xin = heart & mind

these were done in the xiao zhuan style meaning little turn. this was the style used in the movie hero. which is fitting because the main purpose of my studying shu fa is so i can kick jet li's ASS!

after the phenomenal success of the catfood-tini I designed a new beverage. This beverage is a whiskey and coke with a chicken foot garnish. The patent is still pending and I have yet to think of a good name. any idea?
