How about the shoes of city council members? Or, if it has to be indie rock superheroes, why not try knuckles? Or how about this: bring Hot Pockets to every show and have one of the members of the band take a bite out of a four cheese hot pocket and take a photo of that. Then, once your mural or whatever is done, you can sell it to Hot Pockets for a mint. Maybe Of Montreal could play a song over the commercial. Maybe you just kind of tweak the idea.

You may have created this rather than discovered its geniusness, but it's basically the same thing. You should be pretty good at letting go by now anyway.

They have more famous friends, but you're friends are no doubt much bigger nerds, which in the bay area gives you more cred. I have had a Flickr photostream of my favorite sneakers for some time now and people call me a sissy, girl, nancy boy and Lauren referred to me as the male Imelda Marcos. Think I care? Well, aside from crying myself to sleep each night, I could care less. Rock On! Fuck dude … you cannot back down on this.

Did I ever tell you how I invented Band-Aids with cartoon characters on them? Yeah, that was me. I was like 4 years old and told my mom the idea. She helped me write to Johnson & Johnson with my idea and some pencil pusher wrote back like, "hey thanks kid, but that's a crap idea". A year or so later what happened? Yeah, you cant find a Band Aid without a cartoon character on it no more. F*** those guys. Oh yeah, and my friends wrote the hip-hop version of that Dolly Parton/Kenny Rogers song "Islands in the Stream" that came out as "Ghetto Superstar" on their porch in Berkeley one afternoon. They were rocking out and this producer was walking by and asked them if they wanted to "sell" it to him. They said no, he could "have" it if he wanted... and now Pras and Wyclef Jean have the credits; they even put Old Dirty Bastard on it and it got nominated for a Grammy. Dang. OH OH yeah, did I tell you how I invented "hella"? Cry me a river. Did I ever tell you how I invented Band-Aids with cartoon characters on them? Yeah, that was me.
