Are you secretly a little princess? Maybe a dashing knight in the closet? Or have you always been nothing more than a miserable serf in life’s bitter fifedom? And what have you become today? Show your regal side as Plump takes a crack at Monarchy! Have fun with this one…lots of ways to approach it. Meantime, we stack the decks with some heavy hitting Plump favorites: Saynt, Hooni, Pumpkin and FatFinger to finesse the main room. As Plump explores deeper tones, we’re lucky to have royal talent in the lounge, some plump virgins for you to explore and adore. More surprises still to come in the gallery… Last Plump of summer!

To Post On Craigslist or To Respond

Today was a funny day. Yesterday was an amazing day. The contrast was in what happened. The amazing day felt amazing because of all of the external going everywhere events: Meeting in the valley with a director for composing music on a small film (first time for me) getting Final Cut Pro installed (not working, then later debugged by me (removing the guilty Guitar Rig 2 by Native Instruments FX plug-in), meeting with my friend Janelle and playing the piano, swimming and eating with Didier, and then helping my friend Carly with three errands in the evening. There was so much going on that it just felt great. I also got a phone call and found out that I was going to be curating some art show next weekend and DJing at my friend’s monthly party called Plump put on by Alma Project.

Today was mellower and was just with computers all day long, and it felt strange not as motivating, but less expensive and yet still powerful. Actually made some really easy Craigslist money. Both the internal with the internet and the external with reality have their pros and cons.

I have found it far more fun to post on craigslist then to reply but the two responses that I have received thus far have been interesting as well. It’s amazing what one man with a great idea and a general lack of greed can do to change the advertising landscape in America (though I wish the mobsters at Ebay didn’t own 25% of Craigslist, so tricky, tricky, tricky!).

Posting for the Art exhibit was fun, too, get to see some cool stuff.

Los Angeles is an amazing city for open creative individuals.

Los Angeles is an amazing city. So many contrasts, so many stories. Today I am staying in Highland Park with some friends.

I just finished my “portal” page for the music and art of Travis Winn, aka, NIO.

I will be releasing to the public my new album “Origins” soon, available for purchase. Some songs are already up.

Enjoy!

Go to NIO.COM to see the new “portal”.
