Heeeey Yoooooou Guuuuuys

Anybody should know that these are the GOONIES. Ah yes, the movie that made us all want to grab a shovel and dig up our parents' back yard in hopes of finding a happy, boobie trap-filled adventure, complete with pirate skeletons and treasure.

Most of us didn't find any of that, which proved to be quite traumatic. Some even decided to write poems about it, and they are what you call "Emo" nowadays. The rest of us are still waiting by the beach for One-Eyed Willie's pirate ship to pick us up. I know I am.

I started on this pic like a year or two ago, and I'm just now finishing it in time for Anime Weekend Atlanta 2005. Wow... that's pathetic.

I guess I am happy with how it turned out. I could do a much better representation now... but I have no time with all these commissions.

Mucho thanks to the actors, Richard Donnar, Spielburgh, and all the other people out there who made this movie happen.

I just found out yesterday that the 20th anniversary of the film was being celebrated in Astoria... the DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY (June 2nd). I would have LOVED to go to that.... Aw well...

Oh yeah, and thank you Cindy Lauper for the song, even if the video was kinda cheesy.
