Kid Beyond in concert and collections
Just as Jim Carrey was able to make a good living pulling faces, apparently some people have figured out how make funny sounds for a living. It's called beatboxing and one of the big local stars is called Kid Beyond. I saw him performing in SF last night. The opener (Zoe) was a cellist with long dreads tied into a bun and leopard-spotted stockings. Kid Beyond started off beatboxing to record the backbeat for the rest of his show, which he then live-looped. The man is an amazing performance artist and I quite enjoyed the show.

At the team picnic today we were talking about the different things that people collect. My manager and his wife have 10 bicycles between them. Other people collect cameras, books-on-tape, Next cubes, iPods, etc. I guess my collection is t-shirts.

What tangible objects do you collect?

I used to collect old computers. Now I have a box dedicated for physical correspondence. I hope to keep every letter and postcard sent to me in a box that I lug around, possibly to the grave or barbeque where I end up finishing this mortal coil.

I don't keep count.
I could count the ones I have around now, but I didn't bring all my earrings to Vancouver.

The usual spots: Behind TVs and monitors, under beds, and inside computer cases.

I tend to collect boardgames with this intent of getting together lots of friends to actually play said games....that doesn't seem to work out as planned.
I also have this sort of obsessive compulsive habit of buying journals and sketchbooks which I haven't really put to use as intended.
I tend to rip out recipes from magazines and have a huge collection of those...although in all honesty I have a only prepared a handful of meals from these recipes....
K I think I just realized I am a complete and utter pack rat....thank you Tony for bringing this to my attention :p
