Release the hounds.

Here we are for another day of WTF, and I welcome you back.

First things first I’ve been thinking a lot about this video recently. I’ve posted it here a couple of times before but for some reason has crept up back into my consciousness;

If you do anything that courts a mass audience, You are a dog chasing a mail truck and you best be ready to actually catch it because you just might. Anything you put out into the world could end up being the thing that they talk about.

Anything you put out into the world could be the thing that defines you eternally.

To his first point however, I would argue that a mass audience doesn’t matter. If it’s available online, it’s gonna be around as long as the internet is, and even beyond that, as long as the internet exists, anything one could say, do, or create could end up being the thing that endures.

Certainly, with the last eighteen years, two months, and twenty days of generating content online under my belt (HTATBL launched on May 31st, 2006. Feel free to lie down to catch your breath.) I’ve had ample opportunity for a misstep but probably the best thing my former boss at Swobo told me was to be accountable for everything. To be fair, he was saying it for the benefit of the company, but when I finally took my show on the road it was wholly applicable for my business model as well.

Anyway, it’s an extremely interesting notion, and one that human beings are likely still in the process of wrapping their minds around.

And to the point before that previous observation, my general business model is obviously to discuss nothing at all which we should get into presently.

I mentioned last week that I was having a silly little art show at Seattle’s Holy Mountain Brewery and while a gang of dirts came through, the installation was one of the prettiest I’ve done in a spell;


Right from the jump I got a call to mark one as sold which I was real excited about which meant I didn’t have to spend the night in my truck, but instead stayed here;

Living life like a real grownup.

Anyhü, here are some highlights;









The show will be up for the month, so if you find yourself in the neighborhood please stick your head for a look-see and a pint.

I can’t promise you cats, dogs, or babies but the boxes will definitely be present.

Moving on- it’s long been in the works but the wildly tao-enter Jeffery Cheung from Unity Skateboards just had an installation open on Saturday night at the San Francisco MOMA. Unfortunately I couldn’t be there, but Judd swung through on Monday and fired off some photos and a synopsis which looks like the following;

I thought a reaction from Meghan would be more interesting than mine, since she likes skateboarding but has always called bullshit on how the community thinks of itself as inclusive when it’s mostly gatekeeping dudes.








The collection of photos, videos, collage, and sculpture in SFMoMA’s ‘Unity Through Skateboarding’ show is, at its core, a celebration of the energy and joy that comes from community building. The DIY ethos that has long been part of skateboarding feels more rich, powerful,, and impactful than ever through the lens of the Unity crew with their focus on creating inclusive space and centering queer, trans, BIPOC, and women skaters. Exactly what we need in the worlds of both skateboarding and museums.

I can’t thank Judd and Meghan enough for gracing us with some images and thoughts. They both deserve hefty raises.

The attentive in the audience will recognize the box as one I featured a few weeks ago. I truly walk with giants.

I’m so proud of Jeffery and all of the Unity crew, and thrilled to be lucky enough to stand in their shadow.

The show will be up for six months for any interested parties who would like to check it out.

Now, having gotten through all of that, the curtain is dropping, the sun is setting, and the turd is circling the bowl on this, today’s effort, so it’s with that I say goodbye and here’s the 140th episode of Revolting;

Nevermind the point in my shoutouts when Robot proves he doesn’t know about the mute button and is weirdly whispering to someone in the room. We’re professionals, and as such, have got this.

Anyway, enjoy, and don’t forget the snuggles.
