This seems like a great opportunity to share this Vimeo video of my #1 little pig having a good ol’ time (filmed by my brother-in-law, Andrew). Refresh the page to catch it quickly.

They’ve gotten some good attention from their review in Tampa Bay’s alt-weekly newspaper, Creative Loafing. Read the album review.

Quality photos unfortunately don’t exist in my life right now, but here are a couple crummy pics of the final CD artwork.

Hailig from Bradenton, Florida, I first worked with Have Gun, Will Travel back in 2008 for their release of “Casting Shadows Tall as Giants” and was lucky enough to be invited back to design their upcoming release “Postcards from the Friendly City.” We went with a 4 panel digipak and 8 panel insert, which was a really fun format to be able to work with to seamlessly show off the photography. And as always, front-man Matt Burke is truly a dream to collaborate with. Also, thanks to the dudes down at Imprint for taking such good care of the CD manufacturing. I LOVE IMPRINT(.com)!

I cannot wait to hear this album in it’s entirety.
HGWT, I love all you guys and miss your shows. West Coast Tour 2010!

The music makes you smile and her voice just makes you fall in love.

It was my first event in both catering and wrestling. I left with 2 free, delicious cakes and the understanding that wrestling fans are what make the sport so totally awesome.

On the way home I was so excited about loving wrestling. Then, #54 (see above) and I met a guy who didn’t love it as much as everyone else on the train. I wrote this poem about my interaction with him.

Monday Night Raw

Hot Chip has some wrestle-wisdom as well. They are tight.
