What an incredible weekend. Thanks again, Minnesota!

Union is here and we are hammering on the final steps of our binding production cycle. Always wild, with final approval on exotic, colorful plastic pieces. Snowboard bindings, people. Straps, buckles and plastics.

REDUCE IT DOWN, REDUCE IT DOWN: “Movie Posters For Minimalists.” Pretty fun stuff. Cut the shit and go right to the best one.

ONE HELL OF A REVIEW: Minnesota’s Lisa Valley is way too nice to us, and writes us up very big in this glowing Design Camp review. I should hire her to do some PR for the DDC! Thanks, lady!

PORTLAND’S JOSH NELSON IS FIRED UP: And he’s making posters with wild sayings, advice and threats. He even made one with some of my half-ass words in it. “Don’t piss into the wind.” Good advice. Think about it.

MILES AND MILES OF INK: Eight more reasons to trust DDC clic pens. Ben Vickery gets down to business and takes his pen apart. Those Minnesota campers can attest to the fact that those pens “get the job done.” I passed out 350 of the things, along with a Field Notes memo books to each red-blooded camper. Mandatory items for any DDC-sanctioned event, more or less. DDC clic pens. You need one. Or a handful. Get with it.
