Milwaukee Police break into house & pull guns on innocent family

2 days ago my friends in Milwaukee had an encounter with the local police who were chasing a suspect through their neighborhood. Apparently the suspect broke into their house as he was being chased by police. The officers followed him inside the house and pulled a gun on the occupants of the house (including their young children). The incident was not caught on tape, but the residents did manage to film the officer after and got him on tape admitting to pulling a gun on their young child. At the beginning of the video the officer threatens to take the camera away from the resident. What's your take on this? Can my friends press charges against the officers for unlawful entry and assault with a deadly weapon?

4th of July prediction

You heard it here first, I predict that gold will be at $1000 and oil $100 on July 4th, just in time for tea parties! http://www.reteaparty.com/

I see $950 as the anchor point for gold in the next 8 to 10 months and $70 as the anchor point for oil. Gas should be around $3.50 this summer at the peak and will find $3 as it's anchor point for the same period. -Vince (vtocce@gmail.com) 5/13/09

PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO GET IT

MEGAFORCE animation

This is a clip I created for the intro to the new web series "MEGAFORCE" coming soon... I created it from an old Soviet Propaghanda poster from a really cool site: http://www.davno.ru/soviet-posters Kinda interesting, some of the artwork is really cool, gives Fillmore posters a run for their money. Also noticed that I'm not the first person to co-op from those posters. I noticed one that the Red Elvises used for one of their album covers. Cool shit, enjoy!

I ♥ my new Megaphone!

Dave and I stopped by Radio Shack yesterday and picked up a brand new megaphone! Here we are testing it out at the local Jack In The Box drive through, unfortunately you can't get the full effect because the camera is inside the car and the megaphone is facing outside, but you get the idea. Actually I think there was some weird feedback/noise cancellation going on because for some reason it wasn't amplifying my voice normally. I was pointing it straight at the drive thru speaker so that must have caused some sort of funky noise cancellation to occur. Audio magic! Anyway, I just got the thing, so I'll definitely get a chance to make plenty of noise. The siren is so loud I can't even turn it on because it like destroys my eardrums instantly. Fight!

Valient Thorr - Live at Detroit Bar, Costa Mesa, CA

I had the distinct privelege to witness the almighty Valient Thorr melt the faces off of a very rambunctious crowd at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa, CA. The dark, dingy, warm and familiar venue was an epic scene tucked into the corner of a typical Orange County stripmall.

Check out a video clip from their performance and also download an mp3 of the entire performance...

PHANTOM VLOG #2 - PSYCHO DONUTS

I found my new favorite donut shop, it's Psycho Donuts in Campbell, California. A friend recommended I stop in before I left town last week and I was glad I did it. For those of you in the Bay Area who are looking to take your donut experience to the next level may I suggest the shock treatment at Psycho Donuts.

Whether you are basking in the glow of the crazy artwork or simply enjoying a Crispy Critter, Psycho Donuts certainly has a treat for you. If you show up Saturday or Sunday morning you can strap yourself into the padded cell and have donuts administered to you from the lovely Nurses on duty.

Check out their website here:

I missed the daily festivites and almost all the donuts, but was able to grab a tasty Oreo Cookie Peanut Butter Donut thing, which you'll see in the video below, enjoy!
