Pee Forest

Seattle artist Steven Miller has created an accordion-fold pull-out book of sepia-toned photographs that tells the timeless story of two handsome furry bearded men that happen upon each other in the woods and pee all over each other.

This particular piece is an edition of 10 sold in an incredible art machine called EARL 3.0. This robotic art dealer, probably a candy machine in another life and reminiscent of the beloved Artomat, offers one-of-kind or limited editions of artists work, with prices from a few dollars and up.





















You can find EARL 3.0 at the The Hideout Lounge, located at 1005 Boren Ave in Seattle, open regular bar hours (and irregular ones too.) Nice bathrooms, clean, one for each sex. Hideout owner Greg Lundgren tells us that Earl 3.0 is Indian. He is state of the art vending equipment, with a laser and everything. He comes straight out of the factory, so has no previous experience dealing art, but has been a fast learner. He is showcasing some of the coolest, most affordable contemporary art in Seattle, and I'm sure given a year or two, robots will be dealing all of the art around town. Kind of like gas stations and cash machines.

Where Lou Reed Peed: Remembering the CBGB Toilet

At the end of this Time's feature on the "punk house" — those big, cavernous sticker-encrusted warehouses, in which punks from Brooklyn to Nebraska hold shows and bake and digest soy casseroles — is a small but touching paean to an underappreciated facet of now-defunct club CBGB: The toilet. "The be-stickered, be-fliered and graffiti-emblazoned black hole" was a modern icon, the Times says, and none other than Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore agreed. “That’s the one thing that sears itself into your memory,” he told the paper. “It’s that toilet.” Shudder. Something tells us the contractors working on the John Varvatos store would agree.

The Urinal Cake Candle

Bring the industrial chemical freshness of a public restroom right to your home.

We're often asked if THE URINAL CAKE CANDLE smells like pee. It doesn't. It's a cinnamony floral smell that's modeled after a urinal cake our founder once relieved himself on at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. This candle covers both number 1 and number 2 odors and has become a regular contributor in the HOTWICKS world headquarters bathroom. This is the perfect gift for anyone that likes tacos, asparagus, and really hot chicken wings.

Like all of our scents, THE URINAL CAKE CANDLE is hand made in the USA (take that China!) and comes in a cool 8 oz tin that's guaranteed to spark up a conversation.
