Ad Space.
TO ME, this idea is brilliant. Puma did something similar with the floating balloons, a different look at finding and utilizing ad space.
It is a display of four life-size Audi cars, suspended inside the silver rings of a massive Audi symbol attached to an iconic bridge structure or in front of landmark spaces — the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Tower Bridge, Venice. The rings rotate around, light-up at night, and move up and down the bridge. Against the backdrop of spectacular urban architecture, the Audi installation reflects Audi’s continuous challenging of the status quo, its capacity to innovate, and its ability to avoid the bland and the ordinary.

Wearable Muses.
Italian brand Sisley and GLENN O’BRIEN have teamed up to raise money for the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and commemorate the museums 15th anniversary. Curated by O’Brien, 17 prominent contemporary artists, including NATE LOWMAN, DAN COLEN,KENNY SCHARF and RITA ACKERMANN, were specially commissioned to customize 18 Sisley motorcycle jackets, which will be auctioned off.
What I'm listening to.
First of all, I want to thank you for downloading Voice of Reason. You have no clue how much it means to me. I decided in July of 2009 that it was about time that I started taking my God given talent seriously. I started writing songs and trying to garner attention from my peers in the “Chicago Music Scene.” The people that were most of all supportive ended up being Flyy City; my Frat; my Brother, Duke and my prophyte, All-En1.
I released Rich Beyond Measures in February of 2010, not knowing who would download it, who would care about it as a project and most of all, who would enjoy it. Much to my own surprise, people loved it. It was with so many well wishes, I started working on this project, Voice of Reason. For those of us who have internal and outward struggles, our conscience typically is our voice of reason; sometimes someone outside of the situation becomes that voice.
This project is all about conflict. Conflicting styles, and conflicting emotions are the things that brought this project together. A prime example is the songs The End and Tears: Drip Drop. These 2 songs are telling one story from different sides. At the beginning, a man finds his girlfriend cheating, only to fall back to the woman he was cheating with in the first place; while the man that she was cheating with was in love with her and her only.
I truly hope you guys enjoy the project. If you guys have any comments or anything, feel free to email me at crichalchemist@gmail.com. After you listen to the project, there are 3 bonus tracks in the folder as well. Make sure you check em out! I promise you won't be disappointed!
Trust me, you won't be. The music is amazing, and it's incredible to see my brother continue to grow on this journey. #FlyyCity #Unfuckwitable
PS. None of this support has anything to do with the fact that I'm on the project, although it does not hurt. Lol.

Fight for your right.
The LA city attorney Carmen Trutanich, is trying to completely dissipate medical marijuana collectives in Los Angeles. After the painstaking reduction of 800 collective to a mere 136 within the past several months, he is now trying AGAIN to reduce that number to 42 collectives for the ENTIRE city of Los Angeles. That's about 100,000+ patients alotted per dispensary, which ultimately is going to turn 42 people into RICH-ASS MUTHER FUCKAS!! This is ironic because one of Trutanich's early claims that he wishes to make collectives not-for-profit, so instead of intelligently letting supply and demand take over, he is pretty much handing 42 collectives millions and millions of dollars.
Trutanich claims that these 42 are the only ones in compliance wth zoning laws and eligible for operations....So, if you are near a school, a neighborhood, a clinic, or pretty much anything else that is part of a community, you can't operate your collective and you can not provide medicine to your patients in need.....Also. if you got a new manager within the past 3 years, then you are INELIGIBLE TO REMAIN OPEN...If your background check has a spot on it, you are ineligible to remain open, if you have moved, changed owners/management, or pretty much blinked a fucking eye in the past 3 years, then you're ineliglbe to stay open.
I don't think he realizes that if you force the hundreds of thousands of medical marijuana patients to all cram into a handful of collectives, then there is going to be long long lines and waiting time to get meds, the traffic surrounding these areas will become so congested that you will hardly be able to drive in the area, and poor old women are going to have to go completely out of their way to simply get a hold of their herbs.
This is Trutanich's lowest blow yet to the medical marijuana community yet. He is treating us like outcasts, he is trying to scare patients away, he is trying to segregate MMJ patients fromt the rest of the community like we're fucking leppers that will taint the rest of the community. He is taking away our right to autonomy, our right to decide what medicine is best for us and where we feel most comfortable procuring it, by taking it away from us and making it damn near impossible to find. He is going to cost us our freedom of choice, our livelihood, and our well-being...not to mention adding yet another few thousand people to the unemployment list...That's about 10,000 people he has added to the unemployment list in the matter of a few months due to his MMJ nazisim. Too bad being a non-profit organization, no collective workers are eligible for unemployment benefits either.
SO BASICALLY TRUTANICH, THANK YOU FOR FUCKING YOUR CITY IN THE ASS AND MAKING LIFE WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS FOR THE PEOPLE OF YOUR CITY! YOU SIR, SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR BEING AN INDECENT HUMAN BEING AND THE WORST CITY ATTORNEY LOS ANGELES COULD POSSIBLY BE CURSED WITH AT THIS TIME!

Hot Sauce.
The fire baby.
It'll burn us both.
Hanging off the edge of temptation.
More than ready to let go.
Is giving in, giving up?
Not where I'm from
Eyes burn like candles from across the room.
Saying more than your lips will allow.
For now.
We knew where this would lead then.
Addictive personalities
High off life and other drugs
Flipping the coin in the air between lust and love.
But we don't really care where it lands.
Not when our nights are never ending.
And our mornings, new beginnings.
Good thing I brought my shades.
While I witness you shine
As the sun does a line
and rises.
Friends would rather pull us apart.
But what they fail to realize is
Other lames don't hang tight enough.
Other flames don't burn bright enough.
Too afraid to glow, they choose to be sillouetes.
While you burn brilliantly.
And I.
A little too flyy.
and thus easily distracted
By the light.
*High Times.
