I will celebrate my first bloggin’ here at withusoragainstus with a double-shot in the bar. Yes, sirs and mesdames - it is happyhour:

First hit in my DJ hour is from the ever-so-talented Mr BcBess: Originally french, but hanging in swinging london, where he pumps out his awesome illustrations and this amazing video… It is a strange crossover between Betty Boop & Gorillaz, but damn… (Can I say damn on the blog?)…I like.

The Second was picked up on the Drawn blog: To spare my fingers the typing, click HERE to read the other guys post. I will just embed the trailer from Kevin Dart’s spygirlproject for you to gaze at. We just looove the shot at 00:48…

The Magic Ponies have a monster trading party. I love the idea of meeting with other toy junkies for trading some of your treasures.
We should have something like that here too!

Gather all of those little critters you’ve been collecting and head over to Magic Pony, where the wild things are! We’re hosting a special night to share your creatures, beasts, monsters and more. If you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of some endangered species or have the opportunity to hunt down some rare deals!

In keeping with the Into the Wild theme, we encourage you to bring the following: Monsterism, Cannibal Funfair, BambooZoo, Teddy Troops, Labbits, Dunnys, and anything else that growls, prowls, swims or flies. Strap on your survival pack and join us on May 21st for a journey Into the Wild… if you dare!

We were just out for dinner and found an article about a quite special drink in an old magazine. MeatWater! For that invention they should get the Nobel Prize. That means while eating a pizza you can drink a schnitzel!!!
They even have the Kaiser’s favourite dish in fluid form: Koenigsberger Klopse.

Look good. Feel good. Do good.

If you’re ever able to see them live, go there!
