Okay, it’s Monday and the shit’s hitting the fan. Dale’s clipping away on hats. Goo’s overseeing some photoshootery with Bob at Jimbo’s studio. Nakamoto’s splitting some hairs on some Giro stuff. Gary’s wrapped up like a little cinnamon roll. I’m neck deep in Union, Coal and that goddamn magazine is coming up fast, too. Man.

It’s “GO” time, and we’re moving on all kinds of stuff. Not to be messed with.

In fact, I sent a little something off to Field Notes MIdwest this morning that is sure to get you riled up. I can’t wait to see it hit the shelves. These are facts.
