[UPDATE: You can follow my goings on at Super­nova over on my Twit­ter page. Also, they have their own Twit­ter page here.]
Blog­ging this from a neat cafe here in San Fran­cisco. Hea­ding over to Super­nova in a little while, where I’ll be spea­king on a panel Wed­nes­day mor­ning.
It’s great being back in town; it’s ama­zing how many friends I have in San Fran­cisco, even if I’ve spent less than a total two weeks in my entire life here.
But I feel the same way here as I did in New York last week– the Big City doesn’t do much for me any more. It did once, then one day the fee­ling vanished. I can’t wait to get back to Alpine and crank out some more big dra­wings.
That being said, this regu­lar tra­ve­ling stuff is impor­tant for me. I think I’d go nuts if all I did was hang out in West Texas. Variety is the spice of life etc.
Besi­des the car­too­ning, I’ve got a cou­ple of inte­res­ting pro­ject ste­wing in the back­ground. Wai­ting for a few more pla­nets to line up before going public with them. It’s all good. I’ll let you know how I get on. Cheers.

    Love Brain­wash!
    Back in the day when I was a gue­rri­lla mar­ke­ter for my mar­tial art class, I pos­ted fliers on their bulle­tin boards.
    Enjoy my for­mer City Hugh! :)

    Do you know the peo­ple over at Crush­pad?
    With their cus­to­mi­zed wine, your art, even I’d be temp­ted to scrounge up funds for a barrel…and, well, try to save a bottle for dis­play. :)

    I ubn­ders­tand your big city anxiety as it rela­tes to NYC.…but SF is like a bunch of neigh­borhoods patched together with cool cafes…
    Cheers!

    Dear????
    This is acrazy world. How on earth did I get into yours, and who are you?
    I got my first spam­mail to day! and how I got the first ( same mail ) yes­ter­day in the first place I don‘t know. An invi­ta­tion from a young rus­sion girl (?), she got my E-mail adress from an old mem­bership of soul­mate! some strange what! I never alo­wed, to give my E– mai­la­dress away! i am a polite per­son, so I ans­we­red her in a polite way.
    I asked goo­gle in danish, what spam is, I realy don‘t know! The trans­la­tion from english to danish says can­meat? som am I cam­meat, in somebody‘s eyes? My quis­tins let to you! and!!!!!!!!!!!!! you seems to be a funny gay?
    I know that there can‘t be any con­nec­tion, but my fan­tasy is OK!!!??? and I have “writ­ten” to a very serius and inte­llek­tuel Danish News Paper for many many years, I don‘t kvow if “they” ever told any­body outside “the office”.….. about my????? Most of the time I believe, they find me too crazy, boreing and not smart!
    Is FRED a english word? I can‘t find it in my dic­tio­nary, in Danish it means peace, and my childhood­dream was to get The Noble pea­ce­price.… so go on with wha­te­ver you do????? maybe you get it one day??
    LOVE AND PEACE
