PIE SLICE BAKERY!!!!!

Dammit, I’m not a thin man and learning about PIE SLICE BAKERY pretty much sealed the deal for me staying that way. To make things worse, it’s like two blocks away from Mondo….and it’s on the way to work! Not only do they have insane baked goods like cupcakes, cheese cake and, well, pies…they also have breakfast tacos and pizza! Seriously, I’ll probably be hitting this place up at least 2 times a week as it has become my new favorite restaurant in town!

Check out their website HERE and go get some pie!

SCARECROW VIDEO!!!!!

Scarecrow Video itself isn’t new to me, but their blog is! I’ve been there several times and have lots of friends that work there, but had no idea they were kings of the blogosphere! One post in particular really blew me away. It broke down every movie that even remotely influenced Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. You can read it HERE. I don’t know about you, but when KILL BILL came out, I loved watching the  movies that he took inspiration from. Now, thanks to Scarecrow, I can do the same thing with BASTERDS. So, before you go see it again, you can have a mini marathon to get you pumped to blow some Nazi’s away!

ALEX PARDEE AND THE SCARED FRIENDS!!!!!

Look it up on Wikipedia…it’s a fact. ALEX PARDEE IS COOL AS FUCK. Just when I thought this guy couldn’t get any cooler, I get this pic in my email from Mitch Putnam.

Click on the picture to read the full story from Pardee, but to summarize, some crazy dude at his Upper Playground Seattle show came with a razor and started gashing himself across the stomach and wrists spraying blood all over the place. After swearing a lot and saying “no way” out loud over and over again, I went to ZeroFriends and grabbed his SCARED FRIENDS shirt in blue.

In case you don’t remember, Pardee is the mega-horror fan/ super-artist who destroyed the RE-ANIMATOR poster we released in July.

You can also see it hanging in the background of the picture with him posing behind the blood!

A digital high five goes out to this guy for being the worlds biggest BASKET CASE fan and for cheating death! We at Mondo salute you!

Put the Wii stick down, come out of your parents basement and step out into the light this weekend. There is SO much stuff going on this weekend here in Austin (and Houston). First, we have the massive NIGHT OF THE CREEPS reunion screening at the Ritz. If you haven’t got your tickets yet….OOPS! They’re all gone. There will be a poster for sale for the event, so you can still own a piece of greatness. (I’ve seen it…you’ll like it.)

Next, we have the ROT RALLY. I heard Robbie Knievel is going to jump multiple somethings in front of the Capital downtown. Robbie isn’t near as cool as his dad, but I watched his reality show and he jumps stuff for a living so he’s way cooler than any of us based on that fact alone.

MARK TODD is in the house this weekend (literally for me). He and his wife Esther Pearl Watson are going to be hanging out at Domy for their solo shows.

Esther will be at Domy Austin Friday night.

Mark will be at the Houston Domy. I’ll be at both events with Mark’s Badasses print set and the Badass Cinema shirts he did for us. Come and hang out.
