Chinatown Soccer Club

Petey Sutherland's newest venture is The Chinatown Soccer Club.... It's like sports for the Todd P set or something. And there's T-shirts! Thats's as much as we know. Extra points if you can catch the hot-to-trot Sutherland running by the lens! The Chinatown Soccer Club.

sometimes you get points for longevity

Which is better than a stick in the eye. Look at my doppelganger doing the Funky Chicken, everybody pointin', even cap man can't believe it (and poor l'il mohawk, the crowd pleaser, didn't get this kinda notice): everybody had a ball at the LC Outdoors event for We B* Girlz, even though the damn book and even Martha Cooper were nowhere to be seen. Still, it was fun. Especially when these two girlz really started to "fight" with dancing. Like Capoeira, only with beats instead of annoying high-pitched string plucking. But the State of New York preventing us from getting the fiercely devoted crowd to know about what they were cheering about in the form of a literary educational tool such as a book shows how boneheaded and small minded and closed entities like this are. This will be the very last time we do anyting like this. If the message is not total, it is not one, or is being coopted by somneone else. Which is why we have been around 11 years.

More props to and from Peter Sutherland. And on a sadder note, RIP Darren Lewis. Right-side pass beating truck does not Capoeira make. Longevity. Long live the Funky Chicken. Not pretty, but still here.

Miss Rosen has it happening

The new mag post does nicely crystalize what we think we might hope to be onto...world hegemony! Not that another reason is needed to expand the psychic head space over in the far corner of the office, but the rapid firing of one-finger typing in the form of a constant tick-tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-ticking white noise background has a sort of comforting soothing effect, knowing that all is right in the world....

Hey, the Post says Bklyn is "hip"

Because some breeders couldn't hack Samuri Power Vibe style in LA. Not that we could either, but the SM farmer's market on Staurdays makes Union Square look like...an exercise in liberal eeanestness, as oopposed to....um, skeezer outlaws? With killer citrus specimans?....Hey, you can put the top down....hey, look: the homeless that used to be in NYC! How's it going? Um, sort of played out on change....Where was I...oh yea, Brooklyn. What up! Yo Windsor Terrace!...(anybody out there...) Watch for the Brooklynites next year! Present a compelling case why you should be, and you might! Esp. if you can wrangle some tangelos....

nice beautiful poster that does not look like anyone we know

pH title entreatingly sought to quell Mideast strife

In late breaking news of a just-too-crazy-to-believe sort, mild mannered lawyer Arthur Frank's riveting distillation of the Wyoming cowboy, published by yours truly last year, was seized upon in a last ditch effort to line up Western support for the U.S. administration's position on Hezbollah's entrenched efforts to destabilize Israel's sovereignty: rope 'em up and tie 'em down.

Reaction from U.S. allies were non-plussed; "Encore?", an exasperated French President Jacques Chirac is quoted to have exclaimed with his extremely large hands thrust heaven-ward. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice deployed stealth diplomacy in explaining the Administration's trademarked "hide-branding" strategies.

wet looking

best solution we've seen for displaying your "erotica" photo books and whimsical investigations into bodily functions; if you're interested, we'll sell you a 2 for 1 pH shower set: one set for keeps and one for play. A book's not happy until he's loved. And caressed. With loving suds. Bubbles away!

now *this* is a book review! three lines about a forthcoming book amidst death, delerium, and a mobby cross dressing pipe cleaner!

Chris is an affable nutter who makes Sebastian Junger look like a twinkie in a tutu at a tea party. That may be a little alliteratively excessive, but what's not in today's journo crack den of entertainment trafficking! Here, have some more pipeline stuffer!

bloggy dummy, Peter Sutherland's Deer

You can type whatever. Or so Nick thinks, in creating a template "blog posting for (a) dummy." (He is out of town this week, or has emigrated to Canada, one of the two). I am attempting to edit in html, so it's like...man, who the heck thought of this... but if I hit this compose button....ahh, that is more like email. For us dummies.

Well now, what shall I talk about? I don't have anything to say. I guess that is the purpose of blogs. Sometimes there is something funny or interesting to read; I know more about Sara Rosen now since her blog began than I knew in five years running. But what do I know; dummy.

My mom turned 70. We couldn't think of anything really good to get her in time for a birthday (there are vague plans afoot for travel in Italy—a prepackaged deal, you know, 'cause she's from the midwest), so we got her a blog. Sounds dumb, but we put up silly pictures and some bday texts; she was really touched. Maybe not so dumb; ironically we keep more in touch now with these dumb things than we did before.

Something so deceptively....simple, and yes, dumb, can sometimes...show you something new. And I don't mean passive entertainment, though that is what it is precisely for most of you dear readers now; but rather a means to see a side of something you never anticpated. Or a means of doing so. Not really too dummy.

So....ummm....wait! I have a new great idea: under the guise of seeing if I can get this linking thing down, tell us through posts or whatever it is you do if we should publish this book: Peter Sutherland, one of our favorite all around guys and one of our better selling artists (Autograf, Pedal), is also, evidently, a deer killer, and wants to make a book about it. I thought his Chinatown Soccer Club gear was coolish (he sent some e-agitprop about it a few days ago), and even thought about seeing if they needed any middle-aged publishers to wreak havoc at their games, but today he asked us if we would do this, in large format, like 14" tall, and in paperback. I'm not a big deer lover, so I really don't care about ethical treatment of these large bambi rats—they look like "whoa, there's nature in like our front yard!" for about two seconds before you realize they are the reason nothing is growing in your yard anymore, and they are slowly becoming like cows: Peter Sutherland's Deer.
