I MET THIS GUY A MONTH AGO IN MINNEAPOLIS: Minneapolis’ Allan Peters is no slouch. Check out this rad entry on his site titled, “Badge Hunting: Vintage Beer Badges & Lock-Ups” Can’t say I’m too much of a beer guy, but all that frosty goodness made me thirsty for a big, ice-cold Grainbelt. Damn. Awesome link! (Thank you to Mark for sending in!)

TONIGHT, PORTLAND: Megafaun at Doug Fir! Yes!

GOOD, CLEAN FUN: C’mon Juggalos…now’s yer chance to set the record stuh-raight! (My lil’ Juggajoy buddy Lovejoy sent this in! LEt’s feed on some shit soon! Aw yeah!)

COULD WATCH THIS STUFF ALL DAY LONG: The pressing of the new Wilco “The Whole Love” record. Just incredible. All slow-going and beautiful.

SURE, YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN THIS 10,000 TIMES: But hell, it’s one hell of an ambitious project. Nicole Meyer is going to make a logo for every one Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes. Wow! I’m just finding out about this. Which means three things:

01. I love Minnesota so this fires me up.
02. 10,000 of anything is a lot of things. Yeesh.
03. No one tells me shit.

And that’s where Studio Fluid’s Ben Thompson comes in. He sent this in today, and we thank him for it.

CELEBRATE IT: Here’s a cool poster about the state I grew up in. That’s would be “Michigan” for all of you who haven’t heard me talk about it 1,001 times. My old buddy Ben found it. I even went to the guy’s wedding. How about that? Oh yeah, I love that sleeping bag, man. Inside joke.
