Saturday's Laundry

An entire paragraph in the TIMES!

2007-04-10T18:21:00.000-05:00

So i'm hanging around Greenwich village with $1000 dollars of period wallpaper in one hand and a portion of chips (uk stylee) in the other trying to hire an english policemans uniform...as you do... when a journalist from the Times starts talking to me, fishing for a quote... so i pulled something outta my fishy ass.

I'm in good company too as the article sprinkles other greats such as Paul Smith and Alexander McQueen. Click here to read.

Poem entitled 'May I request an upgrade?' by Me

I love my lungs,
I wish I had three.
Use one to smoke with,
keep the other two free.

He may be programmed to kick all seven shades of crap, but occasionally even RoboCop has to attend a Gala dinner.

Miami Nice

Sony Ericsson came to iris a while ago and wanted to activate their sponsorship of Tennis by injecting something new to reach a younger audience. So we invented 'Night Tennis' - part tron, part tennis, part club. Got some nice USA today coverage too. I went down to Miami for a few days with large amounts of cash to pay off the cops and hung out. Just got back feeling a little battered and bruised. Video copyright adonis0322

Getting high with Jamiroqui

Apologies, but this event deserves a posting. We (iris) hosted a gig for our client Sony Ericsson and signed Jay Kay for a gig at 35,000 feet. We had 200 guests and the dudes from the Guiness Book of Records on the plane who awarded him the World Record for the Highest gig ever. After landing we had a further 700 party people for the full-on show in the hanger. We pimped out the plane and airport with graphics and put lights in the overhead lockers. Respect to the London iris crew... next time, invite me you little fukkaz! Video copyright of 'sdw33'

I'm gonna have to send apologies and flowers to Yahoo

What can I say. I dumped my beloved Yahoo for the new excitement of Google. Sure Yahoo and I had a long history and I didn't leave without serious consideration. But at the end of the day, Google just showed me more, sooner!

Now it's come to this...

Just plane wrong

Travel safety information should be taken seriously. People shouldn't go around stealing them, cutting up magazines and making 'amusing' alternatives... OK, I couldn't help it, the voices over the intercom told me to do it!

Seasonally ill-adjusted

Halloween ended for me just after christmas with the removal of a sadly rotting exotic squash deflating by the front door. Taking a walk mid january I notice the citizens of Brooklyn are sensibly throwing their trees away... Hmmmm. So as I walk past these post-festive, coniferous orphans I think maybe I can embrace last years holiday and unseasonably deck my apartment until easter with a freebie tree. I selected a small specimen and contrary to the world, dragged it INTO my apartment.

With stores ramping up for Valentines Day I struggled to find xmas decorations. On the plus side, it's still not shed a single needle (what do they DO to these trees??!!) so I felt I had time. Post-It notes came to my rescue. A few scribbles later and voila!

Looking ahead, I'm seeing a St. Patrick's Day celebration is due somewhere around May. Brilliant!
