I Was There (sort of)
It was May 25th 1977 and me and my family thought we would go to the movies and see this new sci-fi picture that was opening. Well we got to the movie theatre and soon realized that was not happening. The lines were enormous and the only tickets they had were for a 10 PM show. So we went home and returned a few days later to get the thrill of our lives. As we know the rest is history.
But the one thing I took away from that first week showing was the classic "May the force be with you." button. This button opened up a world of collecting (for a kid who loved collecting) involving Early Bird kits that contained no toys only a certificate to mail in and then more and more figures of more and more obscure characters. I'm happy to have saved a few of my figures but it still annoys me that Boba Fett's rocket does not fire....

Just last weekend in Miami, Friends With You staged one of the coolest art events ever. They had a parade of balloons that they had made. Colorful and crazy, it must have been amazing to see. To see more photos go to the flickr photo set of Emily Martinez.

Supermarket Images
Right now I am thinking about a series of paintings dealing with supermarkets so I dug through my slides and found some nice old images. The scans are not great but still fun stuff. Also, I think the first two are from 1950's and the rest from some time in the 1970's and I have no idea what stores.
