Minus Manhattan

I use this space to share links and stories on art, politics, design, music, and culture. Essentially this is my internet, filtered with the content I think is most relevant and/or interesting.

I live in Minneapolis.

Dusty’s Bar, Minneapolis by Tim Kiser

The fallout continues from my Jucy Lucy post. You must understand that the southside was a strange and mysterious place to me with their “two burgers with cheese in the middle”. I mean, my uncle was a bartender here and I ate the Dago sandwiches until they came out of my ears. I haven’t gone to Matt’s yet to correct my lack of Jucy Lucy appreciation, although Andy emailed me not that long ago about getting together there.
Maybe some good can come out of this and we can set up a Minneapolis tumblr Jucy Lucy meetup at Matt’s in the near future. Event planning is not my strong point *cough* Colin *cough*, but if people want to reblog or email me (stuffaboutminneapolis@gmail) maybe we can work something out. The first question would be do we have it before or after the holidays? And so it begins….

I can plan it too if Colin’s busy. While I like the idea of a Tumblr meetup at a jucy lucy joint, there’s a huge problem: all of the good spots are always completely jam packed. If we do a meetup before the holidays, it needs to be like, really really soon.

Stop What You’re Doing And Watch The Very Pit Of Hell Out Of This of the Day: Sen. Diane Savino (D-Staten Island) speaks out in favor of same-sex marriage ahead of today’s failed vote in the New York Senate.

If, after viewing this seven-minute video, you are still of the opinion that tax-paying Americans should be denied the right to enter into a loving marriage with the partner of their choice irrespective of gender, kindly exit this country.

This is the best argument for gay marriage I’ve ever heard, really remarkable. All of my views on the subject summed up in seven minutes.

I would totally buy the honda ev-n if it goes into production. Looks like the Honda 360 and the Mini, I love the aesthetic.

Paste magazine details the evolution of the hipster.

uh, i hate this.

I hate it too, it’s completely inaccurate and makes no sense. Plus, hipsterism started in the 50s.

20x200 on Brian Ulrich in Your Browser
“What if you could replace all the ads on the internet with artwork? ….
It’s a bit of visual jujitsu: using the seductive power, placement and vocabulary of online advertising against itself — to deliver an image that serves as a kind of warning against putting too much faith in the promises of consumerism. In an interview last spring with Chicagoist, Ulrich said, “I think about what the Internet has done for photography that’s really wonderful: it has amplified photographys’ ability to be propaganda… I’m really trying to promote an ideology and a certain level of thinking and responsibility about consumerism to as many people as possible.”

I really love this visual.

Working on an ad for a client, used Lorem ipsum for filler text:

Client: Got the ad love it, but what does that text say?

Me: It’s Latin for “This is filler text”

Client: Where did you learn latin?

I could sit here reblogging Clients From Hell all day long.

Since I send most of my posts to Twitter, my Tweet Cloud is fairly Tumblr-centric. Does anyone care about these things anyway?

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

James Yuill - No Pins Allowed. Apparently this genre is called Folktronica. Great song, it makes me feel jet set.

I like how there’s a built-in assumption that people who are having sex are not kissing one another.
