LONG TIME NO TALK. Here's what's happened since last spring: Rookie Yearbook Two is out! It is the print edition of our best content from our second year as a website and I am crazy proud of it. This one was a real labor of love -- I flew to Montreal twice to work with Drawn & Quarterly in person, and what you see in these pages came from two suitcases full of my clothes, trinkets, jewelry, cut-outs, record covers, journals, et cetera times infinity. It is so hugely satisfying to have put our contributors' amazing work into a tangible form, exhaustively designed and obsessively detailed.

BLEUBIRD VINTAGE OFFICIAL BLOG happy holidays! we had a lovely christmas break over here. i can't believe how quickly it came and went. on christmas eve we invited some friends over and had a relaxing dinner. artichoke dip, honey roasted ham, beer cheese soup, along with plenty of christmas cookies and a giant present shaped cake that our friends so thoughtfully made for us. after opening up our christmas jammies and watching christmas movies, we tucked the kids into bed and popped a bottle of champagne for santa duty. the next morning the kids were up by 6:30 and rushing down the stairs to see if santa had come. good news... he did. i made a delicious soup inspired by the big kids grandmother. she makes a ham and bean soup with the leftover ham from the night before. i made a few changes, but it was easy and delicious. this is what i did... you will need: have a good weekend. i will be back on monday! xx

Dear readers, Three months ago when I first arrived to New York, I was really into finding the perfect definition or quote about change. “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” –Socrates This quote was the only one that made me understand a little bit better the process I was living during those months. It made me feel better. Big changes can be pretty scary, right?

By spring 1981 when no more than two dozen new image bands had lit up the UK charts with New Romantics colour, Peter Harvey, the savvy editor of the mainstream disc jockey’s bible, Disco International, offered money to have me explain how a local “nitespot” could attract the Pose Age crowds. For that reason this nuts-and-bolts item might feel a bit like a fool’s guide constructed by Wikipedia . . .

CIRCLE.SQUARE. To say that it’s “been a while” since my last update, would be quite the understatement… As I look back in recollection of my life here in New York, I smile, I cry, I laugh, and I remember… I remember all the shenanigans I’ve endured while living in this crazy ass town for almost two years. In addition to that.. I realized that a lot has been left out/ never seen, and because CIRLCE.SQUARE. is in dire need of a fresh start, why not begin a new side project?
