Does anyone know where are all the good lakes/swiming holes around in this area???? No one seems to know. We went up to Bass Lake last year, and that's place is most epic, but there has to be others. Do you have any suggestions??

mailbox tees is a subscription based Tee-Shirt company in Sf. How it works is that you sign up and every month you get a new tshirt from a different artist that they curate. All the designs are fun and are printed in limited runs. The shirts are super soft top of the line tees from Alternative Apparel.

Karen, the founder, was over here the other day picking up tees and told us that she created a discount code for us and our friends. She said feel free to post it on your blog or whatever, so here it is. The code to enter is: APE015 (that's a zero) for 15% off at mailboxtees.com! Your Welcome.

The Wedding Invite

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 03:44:00 -0400

Here's a few photos of a wedding invitation that we just completed. We concepted, designed, printed, milled, sanded, hole punched, assembled, cut, ripped down on a table saw, etc etc etc. for a client who knew our personal work and gave us complete freedom to do what we wanted. I'll attach the only mockup they saw at the bottom of this post and note the colors changed at the last minute due to the color of the paper and the lack of contrast.

Julian Seiya N***

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:41:00 -0400

Big Congrats goes out to Deirdre and Michael on their new baby boy. ---->>from the email i got.... Julian Seiya N****** was born March 15, 2008 at 9:07am (26 hours after the water broke (TMI?)). At birth he weighed 6lbs 10 oz or 2992 grams (for our worldly friends) or 2.992 kilos and was 19", sorry no metric conversion. We are now home and beginning the long learning process of caring for a newborn. So far so good. Julian is a peach from the hours of 8am -10pm…then things get more interesting. He's not too much of a crier, but he does require late night attention.
