This past week word went up around Atlanta that Scott Stephens passed away unexpectedly at home. Scott was among that group of people who, in the 1980’s, helped forge the professional film and commercial community that exists in Atlanta today

It’s not always easy to plan out you next meal. So hold onto this bag. When properly sealed there are still enough fumes trapped inside– even when empty — to keep a person going until the next visit.

But this guy, this little guy with the red mask and the boxing gloves (did I mention he was wearing boxing gloves?) kept haranguing me (that means he was, like, busting my chops or something). He was all, like: “Hey, so do you wear glasses because you are blind or because you are stupid also?” and “Hey, Poopsmith’s ugly sister, why don’t you, like, go get me some fishstick tacos and make yourself useful?”

By the time things moved down to the third and final pub the crowd had swelled to a great size and we partied past midnight out on the patio of The Angel. We had so many people at The Angel that the staff couldn’t keep up! Someone came up to me at one point in the evening and said that he’d counted well over 100 people – it was awesome!

I found a free online game this weekend and have been obsessed with solving its strange little animated puzzles ever since.

Saturday, September 3rd assemble at the lobby bar of the Hyatt Regency at, oh say, 1:30pm. Be wearing a hastily constructed robot costume, made entirely of cardboard/pasteboard boxes. Your box robot costume should not be painted or detailed in any manner (magic marker detailing is okay).

Stan has modified his EZ-GO ST480 cart well beyond the stock model he first started with back in 2001. From giant gnarly tires to hardened, coated protective grillwork around the emergency flashers, this ride is built for action. Most work carts have simple controls; a keyed ignition, a forward/reverse lever, a brake pedal and a gas pedal. Stan’s cart, on the other hand, is festooned with instrumentation… the kind of work cart that an F-16 pilot might use.
