I'll Take You There
What up. Pete Rock and CL Smooth is pumping through my speakers and summer jams abound. A year ago I was in the middle of an "alone-ness", spending time by myself and lost in a dreamworld. It was fucked up, son. But I'm much better and things are much better now, especially the money sitch. I'm still alone, but I feel happier inside. I got mad shit to create and places to visit.
It's muggy and supposed to rain this whole weekend. The sun is actually shining through the thick silvery clouds this Friday evening. I wish I were out at an outdoor cafe writing this, but I don't have a laptop.
Finally made a Krolewskie Jadlo tshirt for myself. I get food from there a lot and it's really tasty and affordable. Hell, I'm chomping down on some bigos, mashed potatoes, and mushroom pierogis right now. I chose a mint-colored American Apparel shirt to be summery and had it printed at T-Shirt Express. It's a hole-in-the wall with stacks and stacks of shirts and stuff everywhere, and they mainly do screenprinted shirts, but they did a great job with a simple heat transfer. The super bonus was that they knocked out all of the white areas automatically from my flattened Photoshop files, something I had to do myself when I hand-cut my own heat tranfer prints at the place I used to go to in the LES, which is closed for good. T-Shirt Express is on the outskirts of Chinatown, so I spoke with the people there directly in Cantonese. Hell yeah.
