Just read this.
And apparently he told people in China that:
“Beautiful Losers was written outside, on a table set among the rocks, weeds and daisies, behind my house on Hydra, an island in the Aegean Sea. I lived there many years ago. It was a blazing hot summer. I never covered my head. What you have in your hands is more of a sunstroke than a book.”
Read most of it whilst sitting in the sun. I agree Leonard, I agree.

Graceland, too.
If you are driving anywhere remotely close to Memphis and are remotely interested in Elvis, music or memorabilia, then you have to stop at Graceland, too. Sure, Graceland is Graceland. Elvis is buried there. His grave has the TCB logo on it. The house is everything you'd expect.
But Graceland, too is everything you would not expect. Paul MacLeod is the world's biggest Elvis fan, living in a house filled with 10.5 million dollars of memorabilia.
If you can never go, Fecal Face has an in depth writeup of the man and the house who have been in every magazine and on every television show.
If you can go, it's open 24/7/365. The tourism phone number says to just ring the bell. There is no bell. Knock on the front door for 20 minutes and eventually Paul will come out and blow your mind.

Staying at the house of Laura Alger in Austin right now. She is hosting a motley crew of folks who showed up at South by South West for various reasons.

Winter's in New York are tough. Waking up at a friend's house and not remembering how you got there is tough because it's too cold to wander home. Skate around the block a few times until the city comes in to view and there's a direction home, but any sense of warmth is gone. Then this lovely, colorful little lady makes everything okay. And Stickman hanging out.
Griffin Creech has written short stories for books featuring Faile, Reas, Espo, Ease, Shepard Fairey and Futura. He's also voiceovered or starred in some commercials, like this Pepsi one, or this Career Builder ad in which he stars alongside many chimpanzees.
For Issue One, Griff wrote some excellent conversations. First though, he submitted some thoughts that he had drawn out. He decided he didn't like them. They also didn't fit on a page, so they were put to the side. Just found them.
