Two Birds, One Blog

I thought this would be an opportune time to say congratulations to our good friend Art. He recently joined the metal band Winds of Plague and we couldn't be more proud of him. We've only known him for a short while but in that time he quickly became a very close friend of ours and a part of our little circle. The second I met him, I knew there was something a little different about him. It was the way he talked about the music industry. Always so hopeful and wanting to push his band as far as he possibly can. All he's dreamed of is to be in a full-time touring metal band or work with metal bands and all this year he's been making it happen. He got a break to do some drum tech work for Suicide Silence on the Mayhem Festival with bands like Disturbed, Slipknot, and Underoath and now he's going to be on stage with WOP tearing shit up. Kudos to living your dreams! Oh yeah, and he's pretty much a professional magician. Give the man a deck of cards and he'll make your head spin. Anyway, congrats Art! We're all stoked for you. See you on Sunday!


Speaking of the Dodgers, congrats to them too for clinching the NL West title! It certainly seemed like all of L.A. let out a sigh of relief when they finally did it. The way I found out about the news was actually a little unconventional as well. For the past week, I knew that they were getting pretty close to clinching but I wasn't certain. Out of nowhere, I started getting a lot of emails, texts, IM's, and messages all about the same thing - the LA Torre tee. Again! After we just finished our 'last' re-print! Everyone's looking to get a Torre tee for the playoffs. Just L&O being L&O, I guess. Go blue!


Oh yeah, if anyone can somehow get an LA Torre tee into Joe Torre's hands himself, do it! And take a picture! It's just one of those things that we need to cross off of lifelong "To Do" list.
