HERE’S ANOTHER MATCHBOOK WORTH DIGGIN’ ON: This time, from Lonny Hurley. That’s a cool fuckin’ name. Okay, here’s that old book of fire.

Damn, looks like the link is broken. Weird. It’s cool shit, so try back again soon, if feeling wild.

AND HELL, JUST YOU WAIT: We’ve got a little something cooking with A Life In Color’s Kyle Dewitt. Regarding old matchbooks. Coming very soon. Going to be incredible. Holy shit.

HELL FREEZES OVER: And Goo’s suddenly contributing to the DDC? Yes, he is. He comes up from the woodwork, turns his t-shirt back inside out and sends us this link: “Letterheads As Works of Art: Wild, Weird and Beautiful.”

CATCH THEM IF YOU CAN: Dan “Jungleland” Cassaro was in here last week with his scientist better half Niamh. Had a nice discussion about precisely 17 things. These are nice kids with good spirit, adventuring out in the big world, making good work, doing science…all out of a fiberglass travel pod. Pretty fucking cool, if you ask us. Keep it up. Hot showers, guys! You know the drill.

Here’s an interview with Dan. Good reading here, people.
