Le Garage: Recent Episodes
Starfire
Hey kids. I have a new home! Check it out. Starfire TV
The look will change soon but at least it works right.
Hello there.
I haven't forgotten you Internet. My Vlogging has been a bit non-existent lately but that will soon change. Chuck Olsen and I are taking on the MN State Fair this weekend. We are hoping to film a bunch of stories for MNstories.com and Le Garage of course.
You may have also noticed how damn hard it is to get to my site. This is because of a popular video which was hosted on PDD that consumed 400GB of bandwidth. Our host tells us things should clear up by months end. In the meantime I am trying to find a Domain Name I like so I can set up my own hosting.
I hope your summer is going well. The air has taken a turn to Fall up here in Duluth. It's only a matter of time before we are building Igloos in my backyard.
I'm in Austin this weekend and I went to the Mower County Fair with my nephews yesterday. I almost puked on the Tilt-a-Whirl. It sure is nice here and the corn is super tall.

I spent Tuesday morning with the infamous Chris Monroe. We talked she inked. Won't you watch? This story can also be seen at MN Stories.
Here is my mini-documentary of last weekends Free Range Film Festival. What a swell time we had. The organizers of this annual event do an awesome job. I can't wait till next year.
This story in some form or another ~~might be~~ is running on MN Stories as well.
This is a wedding video I made for my Friends Liz and Jarrow. The file size is kind of big. Still working out compression issues.

Here is a slightly longer version of a story appearing on MN Stories today. Tom, from England is biking his way from NYC to Rio. He spent the weekend with us and it was an honor to get to know him. Visit his site and then go for a bike ride.
I was doing some computer housekeeping tonight and I discovered this old gem from Geek Prom. Enjoy.
I could have filmed the Owl's or the Olympic Hopefuls or the Violent Femmes but this bug was pretty damn cool.
Howdy folks. This is my second Vlog post to appear on Minnesota Stories. Chuck Olsen started this new site last week and I am so excited to be a part of it. Vlogging certainly is changing the way I look at the world and I am so glad you are taking a few minutes to watch.
Now, go bookmark Minnesota Stories and visit every week day.
Every morning the newspaper delivery guy wakes me up with his loud car. Now I know who he is.

This cute kid was operating his game of chance at the Park Point Rummage Sale a couple weeks back. I edited out the part when his mother says "You're filming my kid?" She seemed only slightly alarmed.
