– This past Sunday (10-26-2014) I had the honor of getting my copy of artist David Choe’s new art book Snowman Monkey BBQ at Upper Playground in SF. In Dave Choe’s mischievous style he intentionally misspelled my name and others waiting in line; later explaining on his IG:
Thanks to everyone who came out to my signing today @upperplayground if I misspelled your name, I’m not sorry. I did that shit on purpose because being ignorant is cool.
