Bradley Dicharry of the University of Iowa School of Art (“Y’know, Go Hawkeyes.”) sent in the Barber shop use of Futura Heavy. Here’s what he had to say, “Definitely hand drawn—on top of an old sign no less.” Thanks man. Good eye, good eye.

The big news for the day is the installation of a new side door. Pretty excited. We went with the “Barbarian Gate 3000” which uses a foot thick hunk of deadwood to brace the door at all times. No more fucking around. Installed by the good people of Edelen door.

Our old door: “The sad, old days.”

Our new door: “A new beginning.”

Loving the new upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 3. Real serious about this stuff, so, we appreciate the optimization and details. And, the new icons are a nice change.

Trying like hell to get to Tennesee in a couple weeks to see those Lips. A client has a tent there, so, there’s a chance I could slither in to catch some Lips. When I saw them on New Year’s, I was stone cold sober. Fuck that shit. I’m getting hammered in Tennessee. The only way to do it. Getting loaded should be a magical thing. It ain’t that big a deal, and, should be shared with big moments. Our way.

A lesser known, but great Flaming Lips song: “Satellite of You.”

Excerpts:

Turquoise: We associate blue green with the refreshing and cool ocean. It is therefore invigorating, cooling and calming. Like green turquoise is good for mental strain and tiredness or feeling washed out. It is an elevating colour that encourages us to make a sparkling fresh start. Turquoise is also helpful for feelings of loneliness, sense it heightens communication, sensitivity, and creativity.

Orange: Orange is a joyous colour. It frees and releases emotion and alleviates feelings of self-pity, lack of self worth, and unwillingness to forgive. Stimulates the mind, renewing interest in life; it is a wonderful antidepressant and lifts the spirits. Apricot/ Peach is good for nervous exhaustion.

Red:s a powerful colour that has been associated with vitality and ambition. It can help overcome negative thoughts. However, it is also associated with anger; if we have too much red in our system, or around us, we may feel irritable, and impatient, and uncomfortable.

Gold:Like yellow, gold is associated with the sun and is therefore related to abundance and power, higher ideals, wisdom, and understanding. It is mentally revitalizing, energizing and inspiring, and helpful for fear, uncertainty, and lack of interest. Pale gold is excellent for depression and sharpens the mind.

Brown:The colour of Mother Earth, brown brings a sense of stability, alleviating insecurity. However it also relates to bottling up of emotion, a retreat from and a fear of the outside world, and also narrow-mindedness. This often results from a lack of self-worth.
