Remember when I talked about Goodnight & Good Luck and us needing a new Edward R. Murrow?

This is most certainly worth 10 minutes of your time.

In two parts.

a few weeks ago i got to put this up on my wall.

i'd wanted one for a seriously long time. the edition of 50 sold out.
somehow i managed to pick up the artist proof though.
i love you, art prostitute.

its big. 4 'x 2.5' it makes me real happy.

played with fishboy this weekend in austin.
opened for spoon at emo's, which is surprisingly not as awesome as you would think.
the emo's part i mean. i guess i'd built it up to being a lot cooler than it was.
its the hippest place in austin to play at, you know?
that was fun. i'm glad he asked me to join his band along with hsatrtg.

came home.
got sick.

yeah.
