THE ANSWER TO MY MONDAY: The image above was sent in by one Patrick Rhone. Here it is as he sent it. Here’s a little of what he had to say, “Here is something for your enjoyment. My wife
rescued this great piece of signage for Minneapolis Van.”

I just have to ask: Does it get much better? Prob’ly not. Holy hell. Thanks, Patrick, we salute you!

ABSOLUTE REQUIRED VIEWING: Backstage with Barack, leading up to his acceptance speech. Wow. For the record, Leigh found this set wayyyy before I did, so eternal cosmic credit goes to her, and her wizardress’ touch.

YOU BET: Chris Murphy of Shawnee, Kansas asks, “Is this why he won?” Our hunch is something along the lines of, “Absolutely!”

The whole campaign had ‘good design’ pushing it along. From media strategy to grassroot organization to incessant fundraising, and of course, in the graphic design. The whole thing is a testament to the power of a clear message, and, and beautiful package to deliver it in.

A LITTLE PRESS: Our Obama poster shows up on Midwest Kern. Still reeling from the victory.

SURE, THIS ONE IS “SO LAST WEEK” BUT FUCK IT, WE GOT A KICK OUT OF IT: A scene we know all too well, but in real life. (From Steve up north!)

STOMACH ACHE OR BUST: Burger King posters from long ago. (Proudly sent in by Andrew “Heart of Steel” Hart of Washington State just north of us. Not to be messed with.)

INVENTORY WAS DWINDLING: We almost sold out of the DDC Crew Socks! Was down to the last five or six pair. But don’t fret, feet people. We got a new shipment in of the beasts and they need a home. Get with it. You need these. Always shipping. Happy feet all over the nation, and globe! It fills our hearts with pride to know good people are sweating in them as we type these words. So awesome. So orange. Do it.
