I saw the Cold War Kids out at SXSW a few weeks ago.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but they actually put on a good, energetic show.

Friday's Aren't Normally Like This.

Tuesday March 27, 2007

But if they were, that would be OK.
The night started off with Falza's good-bye party at the Daily Planet. She's going to be leaving for the warmer weather down south. Something about cell phones.

After that, many people were off to Anthony’s fashion show. Anthony used Iskra to print all of his shirts, with a little assistance from Leo and me. He did an amazing job!

Then it was on to Maven for their annual skate-deck art show, “40 oz. and Fried Chicken.” Over 40 artists participated in the show, including more than a few who work with Iskra. All the proceeds go toward the Burlington Skatepark. We assisted in printing a few of the decks. Two were from Michael, one from Eli Jager, and one from Malcolm. For Michael’s decks we used gold leaf over a clear gloss to get it to stick to the board. We couldn't have printed on any of these decks without the help of our pal, Coby, who built us a simple but useful jig for printing on skateboard decks.

We met many great new people, like our FS neighbor, Mike Budai, and talked with friends of the shop. It was a good time seeing everyone again.

Our poster and booth display combo was well received, often stopping people in their tracks. Most people just said, "Whoa"; others wondered how we got the lines to move...

It was a busy 3 days, and on Saturday the place was packed.
We still have some Flatstock posters left over, $20 + $6 shipping. Email us if you're interested.

Great music we saw:

Mat:
The Black Angels
The Octopus Project with Black Moth Super Rainbow
