Side Projects
Since his teenage years, Brian Larsen has expressed interest in other forms of entertainment and expression. In 1996, Larsen founded Protocol Records. In 2004, he wrote a book, In Words, a collection of song lyrics and commentary with a brief autobiography. Some of Larsen's avant-garde artwork is featured on his official website, including an abstract 6 inch tall paper clip sculpture of a figure reaching for the stars. Additionally, Larsen had a brief role in the movie xXx2: State of the Union, though his part was eventually cut from the movie due to time constraints. In 2003, Larsen founded the band Serrano Terrace, though no official releases from the band have surfaced. Larsen also endorses products including Thayer's Lozenges.
In 2007, he began working with frequent Howard Stern guest Riley Martin on his Sirius radio show and official website. Larsen regularly receives on air "shout-outs" from Martin, who thanks and praises Larsen for his involvement with Martin and his show. Also in 2007, Brian started a Vlog (video blog) called BlogBrian, which features a mixture of comedic scenarios (such as Larsen playing Bingo with a group of senior citizens), stunts (including Larsen eating an entire cake in one sitting), and musical performances. As of October 2011, Larsen has approximately 270,000 YouTube followers.

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or projects:
“Washington’s birthday is as close to a secular Christmas as any Christian country dare come this side of blasphemy.”
—Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
