Mike Casual Male, let's try to make contact and shit. Chicago. Beers.
Liars rule! Sunday has got a killer line up.
mike, you gonna be in town dude?
hollar...
i'll be selling rock posters with my homie wezz. look for us at one of the many booths at flatstock in the SW corner of the park.

duh, i totally skipped over that part the first time i read your post.
damn, we'll be right near each other the whole time. those spike posters are kinda fresh!
i'll come stroll over and find you mr slopski.

save one of these for me:
this dude is seriously killing shit.
it'll be nice to finally meet you in person, mike. you rock glasses right?
my buddy bought this one from you guys:
the detail on that is
sold out :----(
we will have his brand new dianogah (chicago represent) posters though!
damn! if those ever get reprinted, I am first in line.
how abouta this one?
i'll try to hold on to one for you, but it's likely all of our horkey stuff will go quickly.
Your links aren't working. If you're talking about Jay Ryan and The Bird Machine, though, I've got 30-35 of his posters in my collection. It's amazing what posters get tossed here in Hipsterville.
Dcastillo, speaking of posters, I got a file for 8x10s or I can get you some printed for the 12th. holler if theres any goings on this weekend.
i slept for too long, but the wluw tent still beckons...
See, I'm thinking: 95?? + direct sunlight = a lot of people with melted copies of Beard of Stars.
Which reminds me: I'm still planning for a t-shirt that reads: "Leave Marc Bolan Alone." Hot or not? Not that it matters.
This is the funniest shit I've read all week.
And at the same time (so true)
((I only fuck with the CD reissue))
everybody go hollar at my boys Billy and J doh at Delicious Design Group.
damn! sloppy didn't know you were going...i'm going to try to make it but might not because i'm moving this weekend...ouch
yep, that CSS shit ain't bad...i wanted to see man man and chin up chin up on saturday but i don't think that will happen.
the ones he was linking to were aaron horkey's arcade fire and racebannon posters for burlesque, but jay ryan is the homie!...
...and he likes to smash people in the chest instead of saying CHEESE...
...and he owns original chris ware line art.
I have received one said smash. Ouch.
Living in Chicago means that, for the money, you too can own Chris Ware line art. Come to one of his future appearances at Quimby's, and you'll see.
I'd post it up, but it wouldn't show: Steve Krakow's black-on-black hottness. forgot what show that was for. Chr*s or B*n?
he did a tiny drawing of himself in my sketchbook, Its about the size of a pinky nail clipping.
Yo, Theecasualmale, are those dudes based out of chicago? posters for sale at show?
good luck with the move, surge.
try to come out if you can get a ticket.
yeah, his show at the museum of contemporary art was (is still?) incredible. all of those jimmy corrigan illustration boards. pffffft wow.
which ones?
Most of his posters sell out within minutes of them going on sale, but we'll have a few with us at Pitchfork.
I'm up in this birch. Kinda near Leavitt and Chicago.
Village Pizza at 2AM after 6 hours of driving is what's up.
Gettin' ready to load in halla posters.
See yall folks soon.
Record related?... We listened to Physical Graffiti and AEIOU2 on the drive to town.
day two - if all goes well, we'll have a keg in our makeshift backstage and a mini-PA in our booth into which i'll be "DJing" with my laptop.
wish i had time to fuck around in the city, but i'll be back in mid-august, so hang tight my non-ticket holder people.
The lineup today looks a lot stronger, especially with Yo La Tengo and Os Mutantes closing it out. Saw some of those record dealers in there. As I was walking by I heard someone say, "Mike and the Mechanics" and kept moving. Some of the people at this festival are trying way too hard (and failing) to make fashion statements.
