Also, anything I've done seems much less impressive when you consider that I've been at it singularly, with no back-up plan, since 1993.  That's almost 25 years!

Once again your extraordinary math skills shine! Is there anything you can't do?!

  (I hate these but I feel compelled to use it lest the tone of my comment be misconstrued)

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Damn, you're right, it's been almost 30, hasn't it?  I'm feeling really old right now.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

Yeah, any Friend of Tom is a friend of mine and is welcome to drop my name in the 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of situations that it might do any of you any good.

This Saturday, diggit! I'll be DJ'ing at Legion, a fairly priced dive in East Williamsburg with a low dirtbag factor. The dirtbag's are all at Levee. I'll be playing hits. All hits.
PM me if you want directions. It's a block away from the L train, so there will be no trouble finding.

My friend, Paul, is proud to present the first annual Rappahannock Independent Film Festival (RIFF),  September 18 – 21.  Mostly short films, but a couple of interesting features (including a documentary about Alice Neel http://www.aliceneelfilm.com/trailer.html).  He says that Danny McBride will make an appearance, but I don't know which night.

Fate/Nepotism has afforded me the opportunity to make an illustration for vanity fair online:

[Martin]

That's awesome, JJ! Well done!

[John Junk 2.0]

Thanks!

[senorcorazon]

AWESOME! I think I know how this conversation went

Vanity Fair: We'd like you to do an illustration...
The Junk: Mehhhh...
Vanity Fair: You get to do something related to The Greatest Show Ever on Television
The Junk: DONE.

[Regular Joe]

John Junk! Beautiful line art you have there.

[John Junk 2.0]

Thanks RegJoe and corazon.  I like to make drawings, it's true.  i'm just like that kid Simon. I have some Garfield subversion art I need to share with all of you at some point.

[Rainer]

Junk,

Perhaps you should lobby to be the Al Hirschfeld of VF.  You could weave in "Sheila Larsons" in place of "Ninas."

Congrats, love the illo. 

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Congrats, Junk, that is awesome! 

I tried to view it a few days ago, and something on that VF page kilt my Rutgers computer dead.  Seriously.  Even now, on my home computer, it's taking up what seems like a lot of bandwidth.  Anyway, it's a great illustration, so killing that old Dell running Windows 98 was worth it.

EDIT: the article's good too.

They still need help with a few extra dates in Portland, Boulder CO, Athens, GA, and San Francisco/Berkley. If you can help with any of these dates, drop them a line on their myspace (www.myspace.com/mathematicians). Go out and support! You will have the time of your life.

Couple photos I have kicking around. Also, please excuse my outfit in pic one. It was a disco-themed party.





This will go down in history as my longest post ever.
