Mr. Mira Mesa turns 28 at the Tower Bar
January 19, 2010
I spent last Saturday on a mini pub-crawl to celebrate the birthday of Mr Mira Mesa himself. We started the night at Tower Bar’s Lurkville Saturday to listen to Alyasha, Question and Julian play an audio stew of psych, garage and RnB. In spite of their long affiliations with each other, Alyasha told me earlier that day, that this was his first time DJ’ing with Question. The tower bar is always a great time. The pairing of sexploitation films and PBR was a real treat while watching my friend Torin annihilate the punch machine. Roll over images for captions.

The Paulistano Armchair by Paulo Mendes da Rocha
January 18, 2010
Perhaps one day, my future dwelling would be lucky enough to house one of these Paulistano Chairs. Made with an oxidizing-prone carbon steel, the modern rendition of the chair retains its aging characteristic intended by its designer, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, in 1957.
