Balloon? Check. Pencil? Check. Drawing of me as Peter Dracula Pan? Check. Feather? Nope. No feather. Where’s my freakin’ feather, Benjamin Shingles? And why are you named after a big clock and a painful skin eruption? Doesn’t seem fair. Most importantly though–where’s my fucking feather? No feather: no book. Your efforts were for naught…wait a second…says here you’re from Echuca…I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN ECHUCA!
Congratulations, Ben Chickenpox, you just won a copy of Glendyn Ivin’s new book, Flaming Youth! If anyone else would like a copy of this incredible book, send me a balloon, a pencil, a drawing of me as Peter Dracula Pan, and a feather. If you forget just one of these things you will be disqualified…unless you’re from the sleepy riverside town of my youth.
We got three books left.

New favorite Scottish group! Caught these guys last night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. It was horrible having to go to Brooklyn (God hates Brooklyn), but these guys made it worth the while. They’re on a 17-date US tour right now (including Lane Way Detroit), and after that they’re going to Sweden I think? Check here for deets. If you get the chance to see these guys–see these guys.
Punch The Camera: Issue 3
Posted By Laura - 18.06.2013
Punch The Camera is a bi-annual photography zine inspired by adventure, exploration, and open spaces. All things I personally am a big fan of. For the latest issue of the zine put together by Justin Parkhurst, I was lucky enough to be one of the photographers featured alongside Foster Huntington, John Kilar, Justin Parkhurst, Jim Mangan, Kevin Trageser, and Bryan Schutmaat. If you want a little taste of the wanderlust evoked by this book of photos you should pick up yourself a copy right here.
Got this in the mail this morning...

Dear Paige,
I don't normally send mails out of nowhere and you might find it strange but i saw your post on the monster children site of the butthole bungalow and I liked it a lot. You tought it must be somewhere in europe and you're right. The butthole bungalow is build on The Verbeke Foundation. I know it well because it's about 10 minutes from my house. (I live in Belgium in a small village near Ghent called Moerbeke - Waas)
It's a private art site but everyone is welcome. As a ‘refuge of arts’ the domain offers chances to young / less renowned artists and holds an impressive collection of modern and contemporary art. Culture, nature and ecology go hand in hand in the Verbeke Foundation.
The funny thing about the butthole bungalow is that it's being used as a bed and breakfast and i've had to admit it's cosy.
Kindly regards,
Quincey
thanks man!
