twee baby

My pal Sara & I finally teamed up and made something awesome--these baby/toddler t-shirts. Check out her store here (scroll down to Twee Baby). If you are a new parent who is going the cloth diaper route, you'll be even more psyched.

thank you, artist

When I was younger, I would write thank you notes to artists that had inspired me. Recently, I saw Loney, Dear at Spaceland and though before I saw them live, I was pretty obsessed, afterward, I was beyond. I just couldn't get over it. I had to tell Emil (who really is Loney, Dear though he tours with a band) how wonderful his music is. Thus, a thank you card was sent, just like old times. (That was before I blogged about everything I do or I would've posted it here, obvi.)

Anyway, another band, I've been meaning to write is Airborne Toxic Event, and after listening to them on full blast in my car all weekend, I finally did. Here it is:
Their name is a literary reference and the lead singer Mikel Jollett is a writer, so I thought an envelope lined with a page of a short story would be appropriate.
Also, check out the sweet stamps my Grams sent me.
The one bummer about trying to thank artists that have "made it" is that their addresses are rarely made available. I'd sort of forgotten about this, and after putting all this together, I couldn't find a mailing address for them anywhere.

It was becoming sad, but on the band's website was a little text box to send them a message.

I have little faith in such text boxes and so wrote: Is there a mailing address for the band/mgmt company? I've written an adorable thank you note to them and would like to send it.
thanks!
But within a couple of hours, Steven, from the band had written me back with the address to their manager. Yay! So glad I don't have to send this blindly into the universe.

This is Japan! only This is NYC!

So I hadn't seen the This is Japan! video before I saw the below. They are both awesome, though I'm partial to the NYC one since my friend made it--it's so inspiring, and not just to go to New York in the wintertime, but to see some live music, take tons of pictures on my next trip, and make more videos.

ukulele and seltzer

this ukulele kit from The Curiosity Shoppe is rad.

As is this vintage seltzer bottle from Argentina via Three Potato Four. When I lived in Argentina with a host family, they had a similar one though I know they didn't spend 92 bucks on it. Que lastima that I didn't grab one while I had the chance!
