PRETTY MUCH MANDATORY READING: Mike Davis is one of Minneapolis favorites. He and his Burlesque mafia make some pretty rad shit back there in MInneapolis. (Hey Horkey!) Read an interview with Mr. Davis over at Grain Edit.

Dig what you see above? Go buy one from Burlesque North America.

Here’s what I like about these guys: They make it happen. Bravo, fellas.

Great, great work at Fwis. Portland people, too, man! Bravo. Get over there and dig on it. I sure did.

There is so much greatness in Portland. Inspiring times.

Tons of beer coasters. I’ve been here before many times, but, man, these fuckers just get me every time. The texture, the printing and the drinking problems. I love it all.

Now this place is a little more “my speed” with my tanker desk hunt. Real prices for real people. Not this kind of joint. Granted, everything is mint and perfect in a joint like that, but, priced so far out of the stratosphere it leaves so many people behind. That place is the museum, the Berkeley Outlet is the marketplace . A trip might be in order down south.

Tons of old desks in Minneapolis. Too bad the links don’t pop up to something bigger. Is it just me? Nevertheless, wow.
