YOU BET: Up early and at it here in Minneapolis.

That’s the poster for the show up above! A “very limited edition” sort of thing made possible by Burlesqueâ„¢ North America. Holy shit, guys. Thank you. Mike’s downstairs right now getting the films ready for this thing. Real excited to see it come to life. My little tribute to Minnesota. All the stuff I love about the place. Packed it all in. They are selling for $25 tomorrow night. A good price. Roughly $6.25 per pass of ink. Not bad. Thick paper. Going fast. They’ll be selling them at the show, and then on the Burlesqueâ„¢ site afterwards.

SOME SERIOUS INK, PEOPLE: Precision moves for the printing of the poster come from Ben in the print shop. Ben’s got a 13-year-old beard. So beardy. So good. Next time you find yerself wondering about all the cool printed shit from Burlesqueâ„¢, think, “Ben is the guy behind it.” Then think about that beard again. Incredible. I’m in good hands. So thankful.
