FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Our Field Notes Colors “Night Sky” Summer Edition are NOW SHIPPING!

If anyone’s seen one of my talks in the last eight months, they should remember a little bit I do where I challenge all in attendance to “Get Cosmic.” Just for one second, to slow it all down and savor the reality that we are on a rock, floating in space, surrounded by majestic, great, mindblowing amounts of nothingness, distance, space and ether. And, it’s real. It’s science. To stop whatever yer doing and think, “Shit, if we go 100 million miles in any direction, that’s just a grain of sand within a sea.”

Our universe is big, and at times, those stars can be DEAFENING, when you really think about how big EVERYTHING is, and how beautifully, hauntingly insignificant we are in all of it.

I find that line of thought beautiful, refreshing and provocative…and oddly soothing.

Okay, come back down to earth, cosmos drifter…

When Jim and the gang told me about the “Night Sky” Summer Edition some months back, I quietly freaked out. ANOTHER killer offering, and, something hitting very close to home within me as of recently. I knew they were onto something incredible, and finally getting to see them up close last week, well, my mind was YET AGAIN blown to cosmic smithereens. Bravo, Field Notes Midwest!

SNAGGED FROM FIELD NOTES WEB SITE: Countless lines of prose, poetry, and music have been written in hopes of capturing the magic of a summer night, but leave it to FIELD NOTES to take an inexplicably transcendent feeling and distill it down to basic science: it�€™s the stars. If you live in the city, you may often forget that there are more than a handful of �€˜em up there. But if you�€™re lucky enough to live somewhere without light pollution, seeing the Milky Way stretched across the sky on a moonless summer night never gets old.

Our nineteenth edition of FIELD NOTES COLORS celebrates the wonders that cross the summer sky each night. The �€œNight Sky�€ 3-Pack features French Construction �€œBlacktop�€ covers, mapping out three sets of constellations that have graced the northern hemisphere summer sky long before �€œsummer�€ was given a name. Constellations and popular asterisms are highlighted in silver holographic foil. Inside is our usual beloved Finch Opaque text paper, with a new �€œReticle Graph,�€ sort of a hybrid of our popular dot-grid and graph papers. It�€™s all bound together with shiny black staples.
