Happy Birthday to Nathan (who is 30 today) and Andy today. The Dodgers have now won 10 games in a row, so I am pretty excited. The missing etching for Early Day Miners was found, so everything is now underway again for their one-sided LP and The Six Parts Seven one-sided LP. All Unwed Sailor : The Marionette and The Music Box LPs should be on their way tomorrow to everyone who has ordered and been anxiously awaiting them. :::scott:::
Willis, Sarah, and I went to NYC today to see the Diller and Scofidio exhibit at the Whitney. It was Willis’ idea since he’s the architect, but it was definitely something impressive from a less informed point of view. Lots of installations that dealt with images, branding, interaction with spaces, as well as cutting edge architecture. Their “Blur Building” was an installation in the 2002 World Expo in Switzerland where they created a misty fog to encase their structure. Willis visited the building after studying abroad in Copenhagen and it was interesting to find out more about the architects’ work. We stopped by to visit Josh at the Fanatic offices. Saxon Shore : Four Months of Darkness will be going out to radio and press in the very near future. The trip was capped off with a visit to Two Boots Pizza, love the super spicy pizza slice, and the Magnolia Bakery, such amazing cupcakes, though Sarah swears she can make better. We’re all waiting… :::scott:::
