    “ It’s just that I was on 9th and Hennepin years ago in the middle of a pimp war, and 9th and Hennepin always stuck in my mind. “There’s trouble at 9th and Hennepin.” To this day I’m sure there continues to be trouble at 9th and Hennepin. At this donut shop. They were playing “Our Day Will Come” by Dinah Washington when these three 12-year-old pimps came in in chinchilla coats armed with knives and, uh, forks and spoons and ladles and they started throwing them out in the streets. Which was answered by live ammunition over their heads into our booth. And I knew “Our Day Was Here.” I remember the names of all the donuts: cherry twist, lime rickey.

    Tom Waits

    …on the inspiration for the spoken word track “9th and Hennepin” on the Rain Dogs album

    (I’m supposed to coding this really important project for work, and I decided to play Rain Dogs while I do it, and my ADD is getting the best of me, I keep having to look stuff up as it plays.)

    “ Just make sure she’s all in calico and the color of a doll
    Wave the flag on Cadillac day, and a skillet on the wall
    Cut me a switch or hold your breath ‘til the sun goes down
    Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town, and just
    And just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
    Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
    Tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
    Will you send me off to bed for evermore

    “ The first annual Groundhog Day Bash at Dusty’s was a wonderful time. The power and beauty of the Dago Sandwich was able to bring people from all corners of the Twin Cities to Dusty’s Bar to bask in the glow of Italian sausage goodness. How good is the Dago? I just realized it this morning (after shaking the Grain Belt cobwebs from my brain) that not a single person took a picture of their Dago sandwich. Everyone had a love at first sight, I need you in my mouth moment as soon as the Dago was placed in front of them. (wait…did I really just type that last sentence?) So what was the effect of the Dago on near strangers on a chilly night in northeast Minneapolis?

    Stuff about Minneapolis on our Groundhog Day Bash

    It was a lot of fun meeting Paul, his wife, Ryan and Mr. Norton (everyone else I’d already met, and but it was fun seeing them as well.)

    This reblog is not for Stephanie Seymour (Seymore?), but for this magazine cover. I can’t see the date, but I’m guessing 1993 or so. Look at all the space on the cover of this magazine! These days covers are so damned ugly with all the text on them. This one is peaceful and almost sublime (almost, because, oy vey, the color of that text!)

    Yeah everything he said + Side Boob!

    The 1st Annual Groundhog Day Bash At Dusty’s Bar in Nordeast!

    Who - You
    What - Dago Sandwiches and Grain Belt Beer
    Where - Dusty’s Bar in Minneapolis. 1319 Marshall St NE (basically across the street from the old Grain Belt Brewery)
    When - Tuesday February 2nd, 7:00pm - ?
    Why - Because the Twin Cities needs a kick-ass Groundhog Day party.

    FAQs

    Is this some sort of officially sanctioned tumblr/twitter/foursquare event?
    No

    I love Lobster Bisque soup followed by a Tawny Port wine. Can I get that there?
    They have Dago sandwiches and Grain Belt Beer. Oh, I do believe they have Jezynowka Blackberry Brandy.

    Does anyone at Dusty’s know you are coming?
    No. Whoever is tending bar will get worked over, and make a lot of money for a Tuesday night.

    This dosen’t sound very organized, so what am I supposed to do when I show up?
    Look for the guy with the big Irish head, glasses, and Gopher Hockey jacket. If you see that person, that’s me. Just say “Are you Paul?” I’ll reply “Yep”. And you say “Hi I’m (insert name here)”. Then I’ll say “Nice to meet you!” “Let me introduce you to…Ed, James, Chase, Angie, Colin, Ryan, etc.

    And then what?
    We drink Grain Belt, eat Dago sandwiches, make new friends, and celebrate Groundhog Day in Minneapolis!

    So You Want to Be A Writer

    So You Want To Be A Writer
    if it doesn’t come bursting out of you
    in spite of everything,
    don’t do it.
    unless it comes unasked out of your
    heart and your mind and your mouth
    and your gut,
    don’t do it.
    if you have to sit for hours
    staring at your computer screen
    or hunched over your
    typewriter
    searching for words,
    don’t do it.
    if you’re doing it for money or
    fame,
    don’t do it.
    if you’re doing it because you want
    women in your bed,
    don’t do it.
    if you have to sit there and
    rewrite it again and again,
    don’t do it.
    if it’s hard work just thinking about doing it,
    don’t do it.
    if you’re trying to write like somebody
    else,
    forget about it.
    if you have to wait for it to roar out of
    you,
    then wait patiently.
    if it never does roar out of you,
    do something else.

    if you first have to read it to your wife
    or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
    or your parents or to anybody at all,
    you’re not ready.

    don’t be like so many writers,
    don’t be like so many thousands of
    people who call themselves writers,
    don’t be dull and boring and
    pretentious, don’t be consumed with self-
    love.
    the libraries of the world have
    yawned themselves to
    sleep
    over your kind.
    don’t add to that.
    don’t do it.
    unless it comes out of
    your soul like a rocket,
    unless being still would
    drive you to madness or
    suicide or murder,
    don’t do it.
    unless the sun inside you is
    burning your gut,
    don’t do it.

    when it is truly time,
    and if you have been chosen,
    it will do it by
    itself and it will keep on doing it
    until you die or it dies in you.

    there is no other way.

    and there never was.

    “ I’ve seen several iPhone-adapted comics, and didn’t like them too much. Unless a comic is written in a very specific way, calling comics out panel-by-panel clips out important informational strata like page design and page breaks. I mean, a baby’s still a baby after it goes through a process like that, but I think you’d still like it better if it came with the arms and legs it originally possessed. Obviously, a tablet is going to fix that, and you’re going to get pages in something similar to their intended scale.

    Warren Ellis on Apple’s soon to be announced thingy.

    This is the one I hadn’t thought about and actually makes me a little excited about this thing. Actual comics displayed the way they should be. I have a .cbz file reader on my iPhone, but it’s a  less than ideal way to read comics.
