The Crooked Man

"In 1956, somewhere in the mountains of West Virginia, Hellboy encounters Tom, a man who in his youth sold his soul to a backwoods demon known as the Crooked Man. Together they travel back into the dark heart of the Appalachian mountains to confront that demon and see if Tom's soul can't be saved." dark horse comics preview

This is the new series of Hellboy comics now in its second issue. I am enjoying this new story very much. I can not wait for the third to come out. Now I know that you are thinking "I don't read comics" I don't think it matters this is a great story. If you are in NYC stop by Forbidden Planet in Union Square. If not check your local comic book store...it might be fun.

Wii Golf

After a night of showing Alisha's dad how the Wii works by playing golf we decided do the real thing.

Alisha's Dad on the Wii.

EB on the green.

Much better doing the real thing.

Monday afternoon baseball

Large market baseball is awesome. Getting on a crowded subway to see a ball game on a Monday afternoon is one thing I will miss about New York.

What logo came first the GeicO or CasiO? I never noticed this until I went to a really boring Mets game. No, it was pretty fun just to be there.

Love stadium dogs and stadium mustard. So we took as much as we could get into our pockets.

Dallas BBQ in NYC

The best BBQ in NYC is at Dallas. We had fun an d got E.B. feed, no more needs to be said.

The bouncers were really big.

Chicken Tenders...what is a tender?

Alisha doing some fake drinking.

A new member of the family

EB and I went out this weekend and found what we have been look for. The Wii is not just a gme system, its a member of the family . More updates as they unfold.

The Olympics have started.

When we were young.

While looking over photos of school I ran across this photo. This was one of the greatest days of my life.

Now sure some people might say, "Hey Dave you got married, graduation, and so many other great things." Well, I would say to that you don't know me. So shut your face!
This was a time of great joy in my life.
This was a time were everyone came together. I had not seen my classmates all summer. The First Years had shown up and for some reason they all looked like they could be drafted by some pro sports team. This was really bad because we were looking forward to the biannual softball game. A game that we had lost both times that we had played. We wanted wanted to stay positive and say that this was "our year", but we knew that the odds were against us.
The day of the game came around and it was like something out of a bad sports movie the first years not only had shown up in uniform but they had cheerleaders. But for all there show they really did not play well. After the game started we took over and never looked back.
Now looking back I remember us playing like a mix of the 1969 Mets and the 1985 Edmonton Oilers. But, in fact it was an ugly game full of mistakes. But my point is that the game that we were supposedly going to lose was the only game that we won. I mean really. Any day that ends with Pat doing victory laps on a scooter with a helmet way to small for him is a good one.
I hope that everyone that was there that day has that photo of everyone after the game in their wallet or somewhere they can see it often. Because it needs to be a reminder of what is suppose to happen doest have to.

Leaving W+K New York

I guess I forgot to tell anyone I even came to Wieden + Kennedy in the first place, but here I am leaving. I have been here a little more than two months and I have had some ups and downs. I have wanted for a long time to work for W+K and for a long time wanted to work on Nike. I was able to do both before leaving New York and for that I am truly happy. I look forward to see how they take on the challenges of moving into the interactive space. I have learned a lot from some really great people. They really enjoy the work but more importantly they enjoy life.

I am now moving to Boulder, Co. to work with Crispin Porter + Bogusky in their interactive department. I looking forward to the time to learn and working my butt off.



Goodbye giant shoe. I will miss you the most.
