Geeking Out-Session 1

I am obsessed with the work that has been coming out of the Metro Design Studio. Particularly the re-branding they've done for the Los Angeles metro system. Holy cow. It is just so cool. There's a good blog post about it here that shows before/after shots of how the project has given them a total face lift.

So far, my favorite product has been their naughty/nice shirts. They also have similar messaging that they do on balloons, but I can't for the life of me find a photo of it online. I'm also loving their website. Really clean, fun design and SUPER user-friendly (unlike a certain other metro website...King County, I'm talking about you).

Is this a heart or panic attack?

Why, yes, my stress level is through the roof.

4 beers later and I'm on the roof taking photos in freezing weather. It should be noted, that the new manager of our building put locks on the doors that lead to the roof. Thanks to liquid courage, I rammed the side of my body several times into said door and broke the lock. Here's what followed:

Anthony has a website, Butch Queendom. This is the latest shirt design. More photos...

Building

This past week(ish) I was in Tijuana, Mexico building a church. Yes, a church.

Though at first I was hesitant about the actual goal of the trip, and whether or not the call of poverty is best answered with a church, I saw it as an opportunity to bond with my family (all of whom went) and to hang out with some old friends. Besides, who am I to say what someone needs. They want a church, give 'em a church.

Just after finishing. I'm second from the left.

The trip was extremely successful and we got the building up in 3 days. That's roughly 24 hours of labor (one day was cut short due to weather). I was also surprised to find myself get close to people I had never met before from the community I grew up in.
