So last spring I started a what I thought was going to be a 150′ fill-in on the Los Angeles River (Frogtown section). The first night, I rolled out 3 gallons of black/brown which only got a skinny outline done. It was more like the sketch so I’d know where to start filling in the next night. Well I couldn’t get back for the second session for a few days, but I figured “no biggie”; this was gonna be a big project and gonna take many nights. So I stroll up there a few nights later to start the filling in, and um…. I could swear I started it earlier that week. …Where was it?!! …Buffed?! What?! But the Saber piece was running for years. The MTA piece was just done. WTF?! Why me?!!! Little did I know, this was the beginning of something big. Or should I say the REMOVAL of some things big…
Turns out that even with these crazy economical times, they’ve come up with $837,000 to start to buff the Los Angeles River. Now if you don’t already know, the L.A. River is not exactly a beautiful “river”, but actually a literal drainage ditch with 60′ cement banks running through industrial and unvisited parts of Los Angeles. One of the only things the river has offered has been the enormous canvases for some of the largest murals on the planet.

Then, last week, they had the US Army Corps of Engineers buff the MTA piece. Yup, the Army is now working to buff graffiti. Must be a national security issue. Gotta get the army to fight art done without permission. In related news, they’ve arrested 10 of the alleged MTA crew, and are charging them for the graffiti. They claim it took them 400 gallons of paint and 4 nights to do it. They also might be seeking to charge the crew the clean-up cost of $3.7 MILLION to buff it ($38 a square ft). What The Fuck?! Sounds like the Army Corp are the ones cleaning up. I’ll do that shit for $1 million. Fuck.. even $100,000.

End of the summer. No more of Ralph’s chi-cha till spring. But no worries… just make it yourself!
Ralph’s Chi-cha:
- Boil 3/4- 1 gallon of water.
- Throw in the rinds from a pineapple.
- Stir in 2-4 cups sugar.
- Turn the heat off, and pour into your container.
- Put it in a warm place.
- Every few days, open the top to let the fermenting concoction have a “breath”.
- Let sit ONE MONTH.
- Strain out any weird shit that has grown on the top and drink (at your own risk!)!

South Street Diner.. one of the only things that doesn’t sleep in Boston (“the City That Loves To Sleep”). It’s that spot by South Station. After hours crowd, nightlife spillover, travelers, bohemians, writers, hustlers, pigs, punks, weirdos, cute waitresses. Open all night. Grilled cheese and tomato. With a Pepsi.

Punk rock legend/ rock-n-roll messiah/outlaw scumfuck GG Allin died 16 years ago today.
My hand painted G.G. Allin Lil’ People
Love him or most likely hate him, you’d have to admit he had quite an extraordinary funeral..
“At his funeral, Allin’s bloated, discolored corpse was dressed in his black leather jacket and trademark jock strap. He had a bottle of Jim Beam beside him in his casket, per his wishes (openly stated in his self-penned acoustic country ballad, “When I Die”). As part of his brother’s request, the mortician was instructed not to wash the corpse (which smelled strongly of feces), or apply any makeup. The funeral became a wild party. Friends posed with the corpse, placing drugs and whiskey into its mouth. As the funeral ended, his brother put a pair of headphones on Allin. The headphones were plugged into a portable cassette player, in which was loaded a copy of The Suicide Sessions.”* (*from his Wikepedia page)
Rest In Piss fucko.
