Youngdahl

I don't know what motivated Youngdahl to get off his barstool at the Viking (I like to imagine that he's still there) and wander over to the art school for a beer. I managaged to capture the moment on film. He called me "kid" for over a decade. How many pool games did this gentleman actually witness from his vantage point in the Viking?

wbsac sign

one of the various wbsac signs. anyone know who did this one? was it me? some of my memory from the last year or so is a bit on the fuzzy side. i may have done the stenciling, maybe not. i at least cut the wbsa stencil.

i also declared the dollar sign to be the official wbsac symbol. the logic was that the dollar was orginally the property of the people, and then somehow the evil powers that be made it into a dirty word for us. i wanted to reclaim the dollar, make it ours again. why should we be afraid and disgusted by money?

who painted the cock?
