INCREASE-DECREASE

If you have not seen Ironman starring Robert Downey Jr., then take my hand and choke yourself with it. I waited until it came out on DVD. MISTAKE. I should have seen it on the big screen. Guess I’ll have to wait for Ironman 2, scheduled to be released in 2010. DOH!

Guess who stepped in the room!!

No, really…guess.

Go ahead.

Ok, fine. It’s us!! THE JASONS!!! We are back! I know we’ve been gone for a while (Griffin’s been working on his art show, and I, Reynolds just completed a novel) but we are ready to get back on this thing, with more ridiculous rants, art, news, and trash talking.

So stay tuned. Or don’t. Whatever.

Well, I know we would all love to shuck and jive all day everyday. But sometimes, we, and by we I mean, everyone, have to shine some light on dark situations. I wont start preachin’, I’ll just advertise.

*Save the Date*

(There is a flyer too, but its just way too small.)

Obama. I mean…just sayin’.

So, as promised below, we are continuing to unfold all the awesome news. And when I say “news,” I mean it in the literal sense.

Take a look.

Okay, so I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “I have no idea what this is. I mean, it’s obvious it’s some type of newspaper, but geez, it’s the worst friggin picture ever taken. Reynolds must’ve done this.” And you’re right. And I knew you’d be whining.

So all whiners click here.

(Disclaimer: any supporter of Reynolds & Griffin, has the right to whine. It’s a part of the deal. Like a benefit package.)

So there have been  a lot of exciting things going on. And we plan tell you about all of them, one at a time.

First let’s start with THIS!

Booyah!

(Now you all understand the corny, yet kinda clever title to this post. I hope.)

Come out this Friday, July 18th and check your boy Reynolds out at HOME, an open mic at Hillyer Art Space (not my house). The awesome thing is that I’ll be representing Reynolds & Griffin, 2001 style. For those of you who don’t know what 2001 style is, just think about what it means when an emcee says, “I’m gonna rock 1995, or 1988 style.” Or when a singer says, “I’m gonna rock 1965 style, ” if that makes any sense. Simply put, I’m gonna get busy.

This is a dope follow-up to the art show, and gives all those who missed it, a chance to get a double whammy!

I will be representing both of us, because Griffin will be hard at work on a MAJOR art show in October. You know it’s major when the dude is knee deep in work, in JULY!!!

We’ll keep you posted on how that’s going. See ya Friday!

Well, the art opening is over. And it was a great night of awesomeness. I must say, this opening was far from pretentious, and more like, “Welcome home boys. It took you bastards long enough!” It was lots of fun. Lots of laughter. Lots of art. Shouts to all those who came out to support, and a big boom shaka laka to Mandy Burrow and Ben Tolman, two other AWESOME artists showing in the Hillyer Art Space.

(Sorry. Didn’t get any shots of the art, or the people. We were way too busy having fun to take all those shots. Hay, sometimes we just gotta live. BUT the show will be up allllllllll summer. So no excuses. Yes, I’m talking to you. NO EXCUSES.)

Hillyer Art Space is located at 9 Hillyer Ct. NW Washington DC

Note: Fellas, huddle up right quick. This is what we call an alley-oop. You’ll look cultured, cool, and creative. Send us an email and let us know you’re coming, and we’ll make you look like the biggest art connoisseur in the world. HA!
