Presenting a strangity. The Ramones. You know them, I know them, most people in the world know them. It’s brand recognition.

Let me cut you up for a second with a craft that every designer aught to learn. Destroyer. Be one. Precision Demolition. Smell the sledge. The art of tearing a house apart in a way that leaves a finely tuned skeleton upon which the skin of a lovely home can be grafted.

A very Minnesotan song from some rappers on ice. They’d be intelligent to get off it by now, wouldn’t want to sink. See video below. Props to the link supplier Andy for the hott traxx.

And now, der, the rest of the story. Here’s the evening part of the Aesthetic Apparatus 10 Year Anniversary party and print sale. Playing music is Awesome Snakes (see video below) and The Deaths (above.) There’s pop and AA cookies in plain or chocolate and beer in cups. Mixed drinks if you’re “in” with it, or beer from your backpack if you’re “not.” Also there’s some prints and music.

Perhaps you’re familiar with puppies. Here at the house we’ve got several. Lindsay, Penny, and Emmy. Emmy is one of four puppies born to Penny this winter. She is growing very fast, and has a nice medium coat of brown-red fur on her. She is a lovely puppy. Here’s a major update with much growth since the last post. In here you’ll see several different days of adventures including running around, laying around, and visiting with Ellie, who is another of the Penny Pack. Ellie lives at a different house (a friend of the family), but gets to come visit quite often because her owner works as an organist at a church nearby. Experience the puppy grid goodness.
