Studs and Broads and Coffee with Avi Spivak

 

Today I get to plug one of my new favorite things and one of my old favorite things in on post! Visionary rock 'n' roll illustrator Avi Spivak is having an art show at Otha's, a new coffee place by my apartment that has strong coffee minus BS, which is unusual in the area. I am pumped and that's not just the caffeine talking.  Go to the opening. Drink the coffee.

Barack Obama is My Homie. No really.

So I haven't posted on here since August. It's because I got an actual job blogging about music. But now that I've got a pretty good handle on that, I'm starting the bad ideas up again because people still ask about them and those people need to know where they can get their own Barack Obama Homies toys.

I noticed this yesterday in the toy machines around my corner of Williamsburg. Homies have come a long way since they first caused a mild stir when I was a kid. Today, one of them is the president.

I have to get an Obama Homie of my own so that one day I can show the little kids who will come into the record store I'll be sweeping up in.

Have you seen these?

 So, that's series #12. And dig the rock en Español Homie. I'm going to blow a lot of quarters on this machine. Then I can show you better pictures of these. Sorry about the glare.
