I know I am starting to look like a fanboy, but I love this Outsiders track. You should listen to these guys and tell everyone you know about them.

The Ousiders at Bodega on April 9th. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to screen this before the show. Should still look mean around town.

Created in 1957, the Swiss-born Helvetica font has now become the most iconic typeface and more than a year after its 50th birthday, it continues to fascinate the world. The “Tribute to typography - Helvetica, past, present and future of the typography” exhibition was organised at the Laforet Museum in Harajuku.

To celebrate this extraordinary font, Moleskine collaborated with the Helvetica foundation and acclaimed Japanese designers GROOVISIONS to create two special editions of the legendary notebooks (black and red).

A limited edition of 500 of each notebooks will be available in very selected retailers in Asia and Moleskineasia.com, to the pleasure of all fans of this legendary font.

Order one from here.

Ampersand hoodie from Ugmonk.com. Printed on an American Apparrel, this thing rocks. My blog is quickly becoming a shopping list.

Stylish and fun. Well fun if you are a design nerd. Add this to the list of things I would never buy, but would love to get as a gift. Reposted from here.

Sleeping Bear.

This is amazing. Its a sleeping bag that looks like a bear. Now you can sleep safely and no bears will rip your face off in the night. Now if they can just make a wetsuit that looks like a shark, I will have no more problems.

Do something while you’re doing nothing.

Here is one of the things I have been working on these last few weeks. I have been pretty busy with a new job and I haven’t really been out of Wellington since I returned from Australia in January. I have kind of just been hanging around, riding, taking pictures at shows, and thinking about making posters, a lot. Thanks to Bruno and Jon for the help and for being awesome dudes.
