FulTummy – most delicious sandiwch

Went to newly opened FulTummy (Columbia waterfront / redhook) and while they only have three items on the menu (plus full coffee bar) there is little reason for them to add more. I got the chicken cutlet sandwich pictures below and it was positively delicious!!! Basically a Japanese style katsu sandwich – so damn good. FulTummy is to chicken cutlet sandwiches what frankies is to BLTs. (beyond compare). And the place is really low-key and cute.

Foiled Again!

Foil Bunny by LJ Lindhurst

Our friend LJ’s spectacular artwork is in another gallery and the opening is this Thursday.

The gallery opening is also part of Dumbo’s 1st Thursday so you can visit a bunch of other galleries that evening. Should be a fun evening of art.

I’ll Tumble 4 Ya

I had been posting a bunch of found images on my personal blog but decided to make my life easier by starting a tumblr site. If anyone is interested you can see some of the nifty photos (and whatnot) that I come across on the web.

2 new additions to the studio

We have two new characters in residence at the OYG studio:

the first is a true street find. Veronica and Deanna found this solid wood statue walking around the neighborhood. We are hoping he isn’t a bad luck omen as they found him on friday the 13th. We’ll see if there is some sort of brady bunch scenario that develops.  Veronica is affectionately referring to him as OYGbaby.

The second is a mouse. A real mouse. A rather ballsy mouse too. He’s been running around all morning and likely will get big and fat and be impossible to get rid of by humane measures. We’re thinking we might just get a habitrail for him and make it official.

Oops!

I was wrong about the jack o’ lantern display in my neighborhood. They actually put the pumpkins out on Halloween and leave them up throughout November.

Calaveras

Happy Day of the Dead! Now’s the time for you to go visit any family members buried in cemeteries. Clean up their gravesite and leave some pretty flowers or a little pumpkin.

Because this is mostly a dead blog, I’ll leave you with some lovely Day of the Dead skulls and skeletons. You can’t deny they are perfect Halloween decorations. Or in my case, year round decorations (in my world, everyday is Halloween) – here’s one I picked up one summer at the beach with friends.

Some fun skulls I found on the web:

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program…

Look what the UPS man just dropped off:

caramel apples from Sherm Edwards Candies

Yummy caramel apples from Sherm Edwards Candies. It’s probably too late to order some apples for yourself but they’ve got a ton of other tasty treats for you. We love everything they have to offer!

Thanks Dave!

Tim Burton

Oh Tim Burton, why did you have to go and marry the beautiful Helena Bonham Carter when you were obviously meant for me? Hell, I’d marry Helena Bonham Carter too if I had the opportunity!

Starting November 22, 2009 and running until April 26, 2010, you can see Tim Burton’s artwork and films at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
