The NEW powerline flags, 6 screenprinted cotton flags (by hand of course, and in a way too old school set up), trimmed in chartreuse ribbon in carnivalesque colors, about 60” long, each flag 8” x 7”, good for the porch, or the den, or the yard, or the kid’s room. long enough sentence? :) check them out at the shop.
I already have some flags from Blackbird Letterpress, but now I want these, too. Guess I’m gonna be “that apartment with all the flags.”
Here is the current situation with my car. Should I get a new one?
CHARMED: It’s the Most Wonderul Time of the Year
“What are you going to be for Halloween this year?”
“Oh, I was thinking maybe a Lichtenstein painting.”
“…”
Oh MAN, this is awesome. I’d totally do something like this if I wasn’t anti-facepaint.
“I don’t like it when the Yankees are losing, Lemon.”
I love how Jack Donaghy wears a suit to a baseball game. “It’s after six; what am I, a farmer?”
A dramatic tale of me (osmium) in last year’s marathon.
Join me this year as I attempt to once again lay waste to the land of foie gras and the guillotine.
Josh vs. France has just this minute become my favorite sports rivalry.
Wait, is running a sport? Anyhow.
How a sewing machine works.
(via Bits & Pieces)
I’ve seen one of these graphics before, and I love them. It explains the sewing machine while still making it look like magic.
Cassette from My Ex: Stories and Soundtracks of Lost Loves, a collection of stories inspired by mixtapes from past relationships, comes out Oct. 27, and I’ve got a story in it!
There will be a book release party at The Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia, on Nov. 9 at 8pm. $5 gets you in the door to hear readings by editor Jason Bitner, Arthur Jones, Kyle Ryan, artist Derek Erdman, and possibly me. :) More info about the book here.
Go Andrew, it’s your bookday. We’re gonna party like it’s your bookday.
Er… okay, that was awkward.
But it is! And we are!
Those bloody clever Dutch:
You may have heard the term flashpacking, the act of traveling in the spirit of a backpacker but with the budget of one more monied. Well, from the Netherlands comes what might be the ultimate in flashcamping—a portable, wood-burning spa.
The Dutchtub is a personal hot-springs-to-go. If you have a tub-sized patch of flat ground, wood and 200 gallons (750 liters) worth of water or snow you can have your own spa virtually anywhere.
Here’s how it works:Fill your tub with water via a suction hose, bucket brigade or whatever other means you can.
Next, attach the included convection unit to the side of the Dutchtub and build a three-to-four log fire within its coil. Then cover your tub and wait for the water within to get toasty warm.
Genius is still a job somewhere on the planet.
Yes, yes this is clever. But it doesn’t look that portable.
“Okay, you carry the sleeping bags, the tent, the food, the cooking supplies, the first aid kit, the backpacks, and 200 gallons of water, and I’ll carry the Dutchtub!”
i think my favorite depections are “wand actually handgun” and “schadenfreude proves unruly”.
Frankenwolf!
