Eventually, I’m sure the cup will run out. But in the meantime, it’ll be a fun ride.

Super Art Fight in NYC This Weekend!

Super Art Fight, the live-action art competition* I co-host and help run, is coming to NYC this weekend! We’re doing a show Saturday night at Palisades Bar and Music Hall, in Brooklyn. This is our first-ever NYC show, and we’re hoping it paves the way for many more.

We’re ART-FIGHTING against the College Humor team of artists, so you can come see:

• Caldwell Tanner,
• Amazing Super Powers,
• Nathan Yaffe,
• Jacob “For Lack Of A Better Comic” Andrews,
• and Julia Lepetit
• (aka the illustrators of College Humor and Dorkly)

get straight-up taken down to beat-town by the heroic artistic stylings of

• Jamie “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi
• Peet “Krod” Sketches
• and Michael “Baron Von Sexyful” Bracco.

I have a DRINK BOUNTY going for the night. If you come, and you tell me you came because of this post, I’ll buy you a drink for every friend you bring. Yes. Really. Bring 3 friends, get 3 drinks. Your friends get no drinks. They are your problem.

SO BUY A TICKET ALREADY HERE »

*Super Art Fight is “Pictionary meets pro-wrestling, where competing artists each round have 25 minutes to cover the same canvas with artwork and win over the crowd with everything they do. Every 5 minutes we spin the WHEEL OF DEATH, random topics that the artists have to work into the artwork somehow, somewhere. It’s funny, fun, and ridiculous. Check out a video of what that can look like here.

Ugh, the 42 bus. Am I right???

He totally said that.

I think this is my masterpiece. It has coffee, bikes, computers, cats, and poop. I should stop now.

Yep.

Or, how my bike got stolen and how I stole it back.

Quick note: This story originally was posted as-it-happened on Tumblr, but here’s the whole thing compiled together. It was then a Medium post, but here it is on my site.

Part 1: Monday. Well, this is ridiculous.

First, take a look at my bike. Looks like a normal bike, right?

 

On Friday night, amidst trying to walk a dog and get a sick girlfriend home, I locked my bike outside my apartment to a small fence outside the building instead of lugging it into the bike room in my building (which has been largely blocked by maintenance people’s stuff).

Some time between Saturday and Sunday, the bike was stolen. I was upset. In fact, I still am upset. There’s the money, sure. But moreover, it was stolen from outside where I live. There is theft in my neighborhood, and apparently locking up a bike isn’t enough.

My girlfriend Kristen was kind enough to help me start to get things in order, and on Monday put in a police report for the bike, and I mentally tried to move on. It was kinda working.

But here’s where it gets infinitely more interesting. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
