It Came From 1977

Left in a box for 10 years, sold at a garage sale. Left in a box for 10 years, sold on Ebay. Left in a box for 10 years, posted in a blog...

So several years ago I had this brilliant idea to start a greeting card company that featured awkward photos I bought in lots on Ebay and added smart-assed and ironic captions to. Like so many of my other super-awesome ideas, I didn't do any of the work and didn't fulfill my lifelong dream to be a thousandaire from my totally cool hip company that only caters to super-geniuses and creative megaminds. So, I didn't get my artist's loft in Soho that was one big giant room, littered with massive half-finished canvases and featuring some rad ass urban view like the posterior of a incandescently lit up advertising sign for Pall Malls. Alas.

They are labeled "7-30-77 Wedding Susan Beuder Ray Olson Trinity Lutheran Church Miriner (?) - Reception Church Basement."

If only I had dreamed up Awkward Family Photos at that point, I'd have been a thousandaire at least 2 times over. I hope they made it, Susan and Ray...

 

Schocking Abs, The GOP, and White Trash: Together At Last

I went to a Republican dinner to see Illinois congressman Aaron Schock speak last night... and guess what? He was signing autographs in front of: an original White Trash Peg mural at Capponi's restaurant in Toluca, Il! When my old man told me he got me a ticket to the event, I just thought, "Hoo hah free chicken dinner!" I never dreamed I'd be rubbing elbows with a Men's Health cover model.
