It is true, on the internets there is a blog for every interest imaginable. If your passion is celebrity real estate, man, do I have the blog for you! Berg Properties’ Big Time Listings blog is the place to get the scoop on the latest celebrity homes to hit the market. Berg recently reported that a deal is imminent on the home of “rocker, actor and activist” Henry Rollins. Photographs of the property reveal the “utilitarian hovel” to perhaps be not so befitting of the term.
DIY Henry Rollins T-Shirt Tutorial

You might remember a little while ago I posted this Henry Rollins Stencil featuring our beloved Hello Henry Rollins graphic by our good friend Leposova. One industrious Hello Henry reader, Kat, downloaded the stencil and used it to create a a kick ass Rollins t-shirt. Kat’s been kind enough to write this tutorial on how she did it. Thanks Kat!

HelloHenry Redesign
April 10th, 2009

It’s Easter! Hope you’re all stuffing yourselves stupid with some chocolate filled treats. I would wish you all a Happy Easter, but I think that would be a rather disingenuous and patronizing gesture coming from an atheist. However, I am fully prepared to put aside life long held beliefs and gate crash a religious holiday if it involves chocolate.
Our New Host
Can you endure another boring update about our big server move? No? Too bad. I know this is mundane to read about from your end, but at HelloHenry HQ it’s rather exciting! This blog is now hosted at Media Temple one of the most reliable web hosts around. The old host was pretty reliable but their account options were too limited and expensive for our needs.
Our New Look
To celebrate our move (btw, I don’t think we’re the only ones to be moving right now… but more on that some other time) we’re working on a new design for HelloHenry. If you’re reading this via email or feed, come on over and check it out and let us know what you think. We think it looks pretty sweet. The design is still being tweaked as I write this… so if the layout changes before your eyes as you browse around… you’re not hallucinating, there’s just a code monkey on the other end coding about.
Email Now Working
Our email is working again, so please feel free to get in touch with your comments and post suggestions here.
Server Move Update
April 4th, 2009

Well the site is now located on a new server, the move has gone rather smoothly so far. You might notice a few weird things about, like images not showing up here and there, they’ll be sorted out soon. Our email is not being redirected to the right place yet, so please hold off with your spam, love letters and death threats until I give the green light.
Hello Henry Downtime This Weekend
April 4th, 2009
No Comments
Hey folks, this weekend I am moving the Hello Henry blog to a new server that will better cope with the increasing traffic from the internets. Consequently the site will experience some downtime of anywhere between 12 and 36 hours while the domain repropagates to the new host.
I promise that the T-Shirt tutorial I mentioned earlier will be the first post from the new server!
Email will also be disrupted. So if you need to contact me, hold off until I make a new post announcing the successful move. Thanks!
Sleep is for the weak!

Just a quickie. I did promise to post a tutorial on creating your own Rollins tee on Monday, but I’m completely wrecked from a serious stint of sleep deprivation and don’t have that open eyelids thing happening long enough to format the post. So that will be posted tomorrow instead.
If you missed out on a limited edition copy of A Preferred Blur, follow the comments on the previous post. Apparently Amazon is taking pre-orders. If your subscribed to Henry’s dispatches you will have heard that they are bringing forward the release of the regular edition so you can get your hands on a copy sooner rather than later.
A Preferred Blur Sold Out

Signed copies of ‘A Preferred Blur’ on pre-order are now sold out. Man, that was quick! For those of you hoping the economic crisis would slow sales and keep you in with a chance… you were wrong. OK hands up, who’s going without food this week so they could get the book?
If you missed out, don’t worry. Hello Henry will have a treat for you on Monday. You might remember the “In Henry We Trust” Henry Rollins stencil we posted a little while ago. Well Hello Henry reader, Kat, has been kind enough to write a tutorial, complete with photos, on how to make your own t-shirt using the stencil and some freezer paper. So look out for that on Monday and have a great weekend!
A Preferred Blur Available for Pre-Order
March 27th, 2009

Henry Rollins latest book “A Preferred Blur’ is now available for pre-order at the official store. The first 1000 copies will be personally signed by Henry.
I’m curious to know whether the person who receives the 1000th copy will open the book to find an indecipherable scrawl. Signing your name 1000 times must surely be a test of hand muscle endurance. But you know Henry. He’s probably been on some intense diet and hand exercise regime for the past three weeks in preparation for this mammoth signing session. Even so, I’m tipping he starts cramping like a MF at #365.
So when you receive your signed copy of ‘A Preferred Blur’ next month, spare a thought for Henry’s poor Abductor Pollicis Brevis.
