If you have any spare double A batteries, totally bring them if you would. Bring your Flip camera, too. Do you have a charger for it or are you just using batteries, too? I need to get a charger anyway. The competent woman is extraordinarily friendly, incidentally. I'm just amazed at how willing she is to do all the stuff she's going to do for us - back-end busywork on the website, introducing us to potential financial backers, covering events. She's some sort of freelancer who apparently makes enough money from just a little work each week that she has lots of free time on her hands. She's totally going to be our savior. Also, that Harry fellow, the animator, will be coming by at 6:45 tomorrow. He also does interesting party production stuff, like hooking up a footpad to a laptop and projector such that people can dance around on it and thus influence the patterns that appear or whatever. We're going to be doing a bunch of event-related stuff as a means to bring in money, so this will be helpful. He seems to be very ambitious and interested in putting a lot of time and effort into projects, so he's a good find.

We'll also feed you gourmet food tomorrow; my roommate Andy, the porn fellow, just started as a chef at the Illustrator's Guild, where the head chef is one of the girls that I'm seeing, so he brought home all of this amazing stuff with her compliments. She's also going to help us out as she's a very capable illustrator herself; thinking of going the New Yorker route in terms of having some of our pieces accompanied by a particular style of drawing, plus she's going to do portraits of all our contributors ala Wall Street Journal or Vanity Fair. So you'll get a free portrait, too! Hooray! Uh, also, the other girl that I'm seeing is coming by tomorrow as well, and the aforementioned chef-illustrator may be coming over, too. They know of each other and it's not really a problem, but they haven't met yet, and the first one is a little crazy, so I'm not sure what's going to happen exactly.

37 Park Street #2, between beaver and broadway. a few blocks from flushing avenue. You can Google Map it, anyway. 

Check this out:


Anyway, I've finally got time to think about what we can do in terms of video for both BushwickBk and Scallywag. Maybe we can go fuck around with our cameras a bit on Broadway and thereabouts some time soon. Also we have an unlimited number of high-end events to which we can go in order to give ourselves fodder for comedy.

We've got several other people coming by tomorrow as well, including one woman who's so competent it's frightening.

Unwanted Side Effect: Cocaine Vaccine Leads Addicts to Take 10 Times More Cocaine

By Stuart Fox Posted 01.06.2010 at 9:53 am 3 Comments

You Ship Off Keys, We Move Grand Pianos via Scrape TV

Over the last decade, the advances in neuroscience that led doctors to view addiction as a disease, rather than a desire or personal failing, raised the natural question of whether or not addicts could be vaccinated against drug use as if it were a virus. While the theory remains valid, the recent clinical trial of one of those vaccines, called TA-CD, highlights the complexity of the issue.

TA-CD works by preventing cocaine from entering the brain, thus stopping the user from getting high. It does not, however, stop cravings, leading some test participants who received the vaccine to take 10 times as much cocaine in the hopes of overriding the vaccine and getting high, or to bankrupt themselves while trying to do so.

According to the study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, some participants in the study bumped more yeyo than the researchers conducting the study had every seen before. Others lost all their money buying one cut of charlie after another in the vain hopes of finding a package that actually got them high.

Amazingly, none of the test subjects overdosed.

Of the 58 subjects who received the vaccine, only 11 managed to stay off of the Bolivian marching powder for more than half of the time they participated in the study.

The vaccine works like any other vaccine, by stimulating the production of antibodies. However, unlike most vaccines, the antibodies intercept cocaine in the bloodstream, not viruses. Only 22 of the 58 test subjects that received the vaccine actually made the antibodies. And with half of those staying straight more often than not, that means 11 of the 58 experimental test subjects took their snow blowing to the next level. Not exactly the best odds for a drug.

Despite the Jeezy-esque ski trip of 20 percent of the experimental group, the researchers behind the study still think TA-CD has potential for motivated addicts. They believe that without any high from the sweet candy, the addicts will eventually break their dependence as if they weren't blasting off at all. Plus, once they're sober enough to feel the effects of all that veterinary deworming chemical, even the hardest-core addict might go looking for some real help.
