Today is my dad’s 67th birthday. I’d give my left nut to be home with him today, enjoying the coconut cream pie mom is making for him as these words go to print. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave him a birthday greeting. Make the old man’s day with some colorful words. Let it fly. In our comments section. Get it going. Happy 67th, Dad. Here’s to the next 67! The entire DDC Factory Floor salutes you! - - - - EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Son: “About time you called back.” - - - - COOL VANS: My dad used to have a Volkswagen bus. “With the little windows in the roof.” is how he tells it. Here’s some cool vans Jared found on the internet. Great type. (Thank you, Mr. Eberhardt.) - - - - ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU KEEP GOING: An old box of transistor packages. (Greg Howard found this one. Thanks!) - - - - DEAR EVERYONE: Check out Arian Behzadi’s flickr cache. Some kick-ass stuff in there. Like this! Arian wrote in to show me his work. Here’s what he had to say: “I am currently studying Biology at UC Davis. In between classes, however, I do personal and commissioned visual design work. I have always found parallels between art and the sciences so a lot of my studies find their way into my artwork.” We can get behind that. Hell yes. Biology + Design + Pure Awesome = Arian Behzadi. Good luck, man! - - - - ON THE PLAYER: 01. Son House - Father of the Delta Blues

Happy birthday, Mr. Draplin. I’m going to celebrate your birthday by tipping a cool one to the great state to our north and making damn sure my beard looks that sharp when I’m your age. Happy birthday, you old grizzly bear. Save me some pie, or else. Posted by: Joseph on 02/01/10 at 12:19 PM
