Awesome 11: Arcadeawesome


Sometimes it's good to just act like a kid. Lucky for me and my roommate, we live a literal stones throw away from Ground Kontrol, Portlands finest Bar/Arcade combo (henceforth known as Barcade). Day 11 of Awesome was spent with my favorite Portland friends at GK:


Going to an arcade often suggests traces of immaturaty. Our immaturity was confirmed with a race to the elevator between me and Adam. I claimed victory in a final-second fumble-- adam totally ate shit.

You gotta love the stained glass window

Jon just got his butt whooped in NBA street by Steven. Doesnt really comprehend it because he thinks he is so 'good' at videogames

For those of you that havent been to GK with me, Toobin' is my favorite game. This 1988 Atari classic reminds me of the good ol' days on the Willamette river, but with more falling boulders and alligators.


And of course, I'm extra awesome at Tetris. I challenge you.

Awesome Ten

So, one thing that's tough about doing 40 Days (or one day, for that matter) of Awesome is that sometimes you can plan to have the most awesome night and things end up going completely un-awesome. My friends and I trekked across the Burnside bridge to the Doug Fir to see pop sensation Miike Snow. What was supposed to be a completely awesome night turned into something so unawesome I wont even specify on this here blog (this is for awesome, and nothing less!)-- my neighbor Adam, seeing that my night ended so very opposite of what I'd imagined, decided to help me create an entry for my Awesomeblog via his iPodvideophone.

This video is not for the faint of heart. If you are one of the 3 people who like my Elderberry songs, this is going to be a treat.




I guess if that isn't awesome enough, JonMon filled a condom up with water and threw it off my balcony.

Good morning, Awesome.


Just a little something to tide you awesome-seekers over.

Awesome NINE: .giftacular!

Ok ok, so I know I jokingly told a few of you that if my day lacked awesomeness, I would just make some animated gifs and call it a day.

Today is not that day.

Because, in fact, I actually did something awesome-- but the awesome just so happened to result in an awesome animated gif!

My mom gave me this funky old camera that supposedly takes '3d photos':



I found out via google that this camera, the Nishika n8000, takes 4 shots for every 2 frames of film and using magic you can make them awesomely 3d. I found out via trial and error that even more than being awesomely 3d, if you mesh the entire roll of film together you get a dope animated gif!! So here is my day, in Giflandia.

Click here to veiw awesomeated gif. it's big so give it time to load.

This animated gif is best viewed with the following awesome jam of the day:
