Fridaying away towards the weekend...

Jim Golden brought some shit to my attention and I had to post this one. So good. An old Bolex logo. Amazing.- - - -Up in Seattle today finishing up the remainder of the Coal 2006-2007 advertising campaign portraits. Embry is shooting the deal, Brad will be providing locations, I'll be thinking up angles and stuff. We're getting up at the crack of dawn, shooting away and I'll be back on the road back down to Port-O-Land by early afternoon. I like it up here. It's cool out and beautiful and even late at night, people are out and about enjoying the city.I'm going to see Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young tonight with a client. Wish the parents were here for this one. I grew up on the stuff, so, I can't pass up the opportunity to see one of mom and dad's favorite outfits from those free-lovin' '60s.- - - -The official "publicity shot" from PJ's upcoming, "R.A.M.B.L,E. Tour." Goddammit. So good.- - - -A new video from Will Oldham: "Cursed Sleep" Creepy. Beardy. Smooth head.- - - -Look how beautiful our Conduit page is. Cam, you blow me away. Hubba hubba.- - - -The long vowels, non of which reside in "G-a-r-y," but, are closely-related, length-wise. (Sent in by Sturgill. Thanks.)- - - -Vin sets the record straight about Burlington vs. Portland.The first line item is basically all that needs to be said. I loved my first visit, but, did discover/sense this weird vibe to the some of the slicksters I met out there. Then again, it's due to the painfully constrictive limits of the snowboard industry, and how small it is relatively, and how big the Burton influence is, and how that works into shit in our circles. Phew. Lots of commas.I was a fan looking in, coming off many years of looking up to folks who lived there. But, even five years back, it felt small and insular. For snowboarding, and the corner of the design world it inhabits, it was mecca. Maybe not anymore.There's no question that some amazing stuff comes out of JDK. Impressive stuff.To all the good fuckers who moved out here from Burlington the last bunch of months, we've got this much to say, "About time." and, "Welcome."
