My dad is going in for a minor procedure at Munson Memorial Hospital today. Not to alarm or anything, but, just keep him in yer thoughts. Going to the hospital is never cool, for even the toughest.

It’s going down today! Naz versus Chris Glass! Layer Tennis! Over at the Coudal.com digital bike rack! Be there, fuckers! Rumble in the jungle! Brawl in the hall! Tiff with the tiffs! Loggerheads on the layers!

All matches take place on Fridays, live at 2pm Chicago time or GMT-6.

Be there. I will.

I don’t know who to root for! Both are brothers. I am torn. Fuck it, I am going to scour my emails from these ruffians to look for incendiary, brash comments, and will choose my allegiance accordingly. Damn.

And by the way, people both of these fellas bought DDC t-shirts. How’s that for irony?

Naz goes to Seattle and stays at the Max Hotel. The DDC made that logo! But let me mention, that, I made that logo, while cradled in the loving arms of Chris Hotz over at Portland’s own NemoDesign.

Speaking of Chris, he sent the amazing Cabin Baggage image in, featured up above. So nice. Love the overlapping circles something fierce.

Tim Lahan is using his Field Notes. And he shows you the fruits of his efforts on his site. This is exactly what we are talking about, people. Use these things. Work it out. Make a mistake. Write it down. Fuck it up. Etc. Thanks, Tim. We needed you, and you came through. Heck yes.
