Thanks Alex Boeckl.

"The unlimited spaciousness of the horizon affected me as deeply. Once again, as in childhood, I beheld the soft blue of immeasurable distances beckoning to me like an open gate. And the feeling swept over me that I was not born for a normal life at home among my people or in cities and houses, but my fate was to wander through foreign regions and make odysseys on the sea. Darkly, the old melancholy longing rose up in me to throw myself on God's mercy and merge my own pitifully insignificant life with the infinite and timeless."

"Wise and frugal, life remained silent, however, and let me drift. It sent me neither storms nor stars but waited so that I would become aware of my insignificance again and in patience lose my obstinacy. It let me perform my little comedy of pride and knowledge, ignoring this as it waited for the lost child to find his way back to his mother."

Grave Dancers Union On Cassette

Josh called me around 5 PM (PST) to let me know that a local record store had thrown away a whole dumpster of cassette tapes. We managed to salvage these plastic masterpieces:



All this reminds me of:



• The time Josh and I dumpstered multiple Wendy's for soggy AirTran Cups after Night School
• How I gave The Only Girl I've Ever Loved my tape collection and it melted in the sun (a metaphor for our whole relationship?)
• My brother TJ's Teenage Obsession with cassettes

And so is the mysterious person who wrote this on the wall at Redlight.

Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive.

Seizure Palace

Nick and Fran have trusted us (idiots) with the full use of their screen printing shop. We have been helping them out a bunch (with pro style jobs even). For all of you printing nerds out there who have ever screened posters by hand... feast your eyes on this beast!



Actually, this is the second batch of these posters because THE COLOR CLUTZ (not us!) put the colors in the wrong order on the first round.
