Crystal Head Vodka

Crystal Head Vodka (by Dave Makes)

Ever since I saw John Hodgman drink it on Halloween, I've been wanting a bottle of Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Head Vodka. And then today I saw this video, and I had to go to my local Binny's to get some.

I don't know much about my vodka, but Crystal Head is apparently quadruple filtered through diamonds, and besides, everybody knows things just taste better out of a skull. I've only had a sip of it, but it was smooth stuff. Also, having actually held a real human skull in my hand, I can say that the bottle is very much the same size and shape, but much heavier (because it's filled with vodka).

Now I just have to find a place to properly display this thing.

Face Value (sneak preview) (by Dave Makes)

Face Value is a typography show at the College of DuPage that I have been invited to participate in. This is just a sneak peek at one of the neat things we've been working on. The show opens on April 13th at 7pm in the Wings Gallery in COD, so plan on stopping by and seeing some fun stuff.

Dan Huff wrote a theme song for me!

Dan Huff with Flamingo (by Dave Makes)My good friend Dan Huff (who you may remember from this previous post) wrote a theme song for me, and I couldn't be more excited about it! He gave me permission to throw the mp3's up here, so check it out:

The original (I kinda prefer this one.)

The second version (Pretty rare for Dan to record something over. I'm flattered.)

Dan is recording a new song every week and posting it on his Myspace page.

Thank you, Dan.
