these 12' x 5' windows hung in a church near Whitewater, WI for 80 years until they spent the last two years hidden in our shop because we didn't have anywhere to display them. today I designed and built a system to mount them in a garage door opening and still allow us to open and close the door.

2 bass amps is so fun. you can run one with all the fuzz/distortion pedals that kill the low end and then bring it back with the clean amp

most decent-sized cities have a leftist org that prioritizes helping people who are most oppressed by the system. their specific flavor of communism/anarchism matters a lot less than the fact that they're out there every day giving socks to unhoused folks and protecting them from cops. find them.

I read an interview several years ago where he sounded like he was pretty tired of touring but felt a responsibility to continue to provide an income for the 20+ people in his band/road crew and their families. I'm not a big fan of his music but I admire him for that.

just saw a cybertruck up close for the first time. unfortunately I couldn't tell the guy what I thought of it because I'm at work and we were loading a piece of furniture into it. but I pretended not to notice and acted like it was a normal chevy or whatever which I hope was hurtful in its own way.

I wish this place had video. I've been going through a good stretch of being inspired to do more analog video art & being happy with the results. I made a tiktok account where you can see these move and hear the music I make with them.

this is a bit of a milestone for me. I've done a bunch of live video at music venues, and I'll continue to do that, but this will be my first time doing it in an art space, and it's part of a series of film and video events. I kinda feel like a Real Artist now.
