So the cable channel G4 is having a contest to find the perfect nerd who would be capable of being a special correspondent at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con. In one day we shot and edited a super awesome audition tape for my friend Super Ugly, an Oakland jack-of-all-trades artist-musician-white rapper-superstar waiter-pop culture database. I’d love to share the video, but I’m not sure if he would agree. It is heavy on showing his geek side, along with all 3,000 of his action figures encased in Ikea glass cases. If he gets the gig, I’m definitely sharing the video. In the meantime, here are some links to Super Ugly’s work. I call him John.

Brandon is a freaking sweet dude who is by all accounts a metal-working genius. He is the type who has a brain that works so hard it make you feel really lazy just looking at him standing still. In addition to his technical expertise, he also dabbles in nude modeling. We did a little trade of expertise, whereby he got his Mullins Chain Drive site rebuilt using Wordpress combined with a custom theme by yours truly. I, in return am getting some parts fabricated for my old ‘61 Mini. The fabrication should prove to be 1st class, since Brandon has some pretty impressive credentials. Meanwhile, his website is humming along nicely. I’m looking foreward to seeing my new seat brackets…
