man oh man. my rad and talented friend that i rarely get to see but always want to see misha klein is moving to los angeles. this means i will even more rarely if ever get to see the mighty misha. why you gotta be like that misha? why you gotta hurt? i have so many funny & deep & great misha-based memories (or are they brain stains? it doesn’t matter - they are good). and if you know misha and/or have had the pleasure of working with him you will definitely have similar feelings. i am happy to know he is following his dreams but also sad to see him go. who wants a fistfull of wood is all i got to say to that. yeah, go brain stains! anyway, feel free to give misha some love in the comments section & maybe i’ll see you at doc’s clock for his send off this thursday night. dooo it!
at least now i will have somewhere to escape to when I’m visiting my Dad in LA. big hug meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

Oh the memories…
I’ll never forget the time Misa came to work in clown makeup tripping on acid, or the day he got a primitive shazam tattoo on his chest or the time he shot a blue flame out of his ass at a bar. I guess none of that should have come as a surprise since when I first met him he was wearing a leopard print Speedo that was two sizes too small, and this was for a job interview. Ahh…good times.
Have a good time in LA Misha.

Misha is one of the funniest guys I know. I think you said it best as Misha being the guy I rarely see but always want to see! Thinking about him brings a smile to my face. Some of the great memories are helping Misha put on scary girl runny make-up for Halloween and him insisting doing it in the girl’s restroom at work. Running into him randomly at a cafe where he was near some girls, reading a book intensly that said “Engineering” on the cover. When I asked to see what he was reading all the pages were blank inside. Also, battling him from accross the street doing Michael Jackson moves was fun. What surpasses his sense of humor is his talent with animation. Everyone I know that has worked with him has praised his skills. Whatever he touches is Misha magic.
It’s a bummer to see you go Misha, but I know it’s for the best! Thanks for the good memories!

easy on the shabby baggery down south meesh!
& no farting on seth green’s couch either.
Wow, holy fuck, I am really feeling the love. Thanks you guys. Thanks Mark for the send off and all the best internet content I’ve ever seen. You are the eyes, the filter and the most witty cat I know.
I wish I remembered some of that stuff too, but i must have blocked it out, or obliterated those synaps/cells. I’m not dead, just in LA, soaking up the smog and sun…well, since I’ll be indoors surounded by duvatene, I’ll just be soaking up the smog and hot glue.
I’ve been in this town since ‘92. I love this land by the bay. I love the smell Eucalytis in the park and crisp sea brease that sweeps it every night. A good quality of life. I hope I have learned what i needed to here and expressed what i needed to express. Change is good..or at least that is what I keep telling myself. I think people leave this place better for it. There are the most humble, amazing artists here. Stay hungry and never give up. Finish those projects…ok, i’ll shut up. In my head I sound like Xavier and i am floating in slow motion…all my eye fat is lolly-gagging in the electromagnetic energy fields..and as i type i am etching a copy on my hard drive made of stone tablets buffed to a mirror glow. So, no…none of this has gone to my head at all!
much love…call me for couch love in LA…and i mean LOVE, baby!
