Yes, The Tour starts tomorrow.
I'm excited.
I made a video. The audio sucks. Hopefully as I make more videos the audio part will get sorted out.

I'm hoping to make this a series. We'll see how that goes.
Later on tonight, I'll be jamming together some thoughts on the race. If, like me, you'll be up early to check out the race live, make sure you stop by here to get my thoughts.
I actually thought the update this month was relatively boring.
And then I saw this thing:
For those of you keeping track that's Won, Ces, Sub, and Craola. That's a great lineup and they really destroyed. Sub (*cough* IMOK *cough*), especially killed it with his letters, and the characters/background are nuts.
Big time.
A great new title sponsor was announced today for the Columbia- High Road team: HTC. Starting with le Tour they will be "high Road" no more, they'll now be "Team Columbia-HTC"
A new sponsor like that is welcome news.
Now if Lance can just get the Livestrong-Nike thing off the ground we'll be cooking with oil.
This is really well done, and, it's The Beatles, so I had to share.
Hayao Miyazaki, suckers!
Yuen Wo-Ping, suckers!
And in other news… Really? Are they seriously going to 10 films?? It seems like a fast track to devaluing the "honor" of a nomination to me. It makes no sense. Are they thinking the traditional nomination $$ bump films get will spread out over another five films? It might, but it seems awfully desperate to cheapen their most prestigious event and honor to this degree in order to sell a few more movie tickets.
Yeah, it's still a sketch, but this time I actually used a pencil first. Madness.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of one of the true legends of NYC Graffiti- IZ the Wiz, TMB. A focus of the early mainstream coverage IZ was a major influence on writers the world over.
A short bio from from at149st
IZ THE WIZ is without question one of New York City's most prolific writers. IN aka KILL 3 is credited with the most extensive all-city bomb in NYC during 1975 and 76, but IZ was the longest reigning all-city king in NYC history, taking the title many times throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
IZ was well known for his throw-ups in the mid 1970s on the IND and BMT subway divisions. In the late 1970s he broadened his focus by working on top-to-bottoms, burners and scenery whole cars on the presteigious 2 and 5 lines of the IRT subway division. During this period he silmultaneously maintained all-city throw-up king status.
He painted for a variety of top level crews. He has served as president of The Master Blasters and the Queens division of Prisoners Of Graffiti. He has also painted for The Odd Partners, The Crew, The Three Yard Boys and others too numerous to mention. IZ appeared in the documentary film Style Wars and portrayed a transit police detective in the film Wild Style. His work has been displayed in museums and gallerys throughout the world. His most recent exhibition was at the Queens Museum of Art in June 2001.
But I am.
