I wish I could go to this because not only is there great art--which includes work by Tristan Eaton, Julie West and Munk One among others--but I love watching the creation process.

You can order the t-shirts online here through November 22nd.

But by the end of the day my head is just spinning from information overload. After grabbing [...]

It’s a vicious cycle. Because of our weak dollar, costly health insurance and oxymoronic economic stimulus package, this $200 poster by Alex Pardee is woefully out of my price range. I wonder if Upper Playground could give out vouchers though? We elect Obama as our president, he fixes our shit up, this frees up spending [...]
