Sketch by Stringthink

Monday, August 24th, 2009

You may remember the fine name of Daniel Armstrong from this…  Well he’s returned the shout-out love in his own particular idiom:

Sketch Action!

Sketch Action!

Daniel does great work with his fine company Stringthink, and his equally-amazingly-talented wife Arian creates wonderfulness here. Thank you friends… :)

Completely Stalkerish

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Creepy!

Creepy!

This may be the best (and funniest) fan-mail ever:

“dear tasha and justin:

“last night, i saw you at newport after you saw a movie. while i recognize that that statement appears completely stalkerish, i am feeling the need to purge my pent-up desire to interact with you. I struggle with the moral debate regarding the “cult of the celebrity,” and debated whether talking to you would be an action of worship or adoration. After careful consideration, I decided that i was actually a first-rate member of the cult by not talking to you- maybe i was buying into the idea that you are better than i am, and therefore too worthy of my presence. therefore, i’d like to share with you the transcription of the conversation that should have gone down last night:

“(AR will be me. TJ will be you.)

“AR) Tasha! Justin! OMG I’m your biggest fan!
TJ) o. umm. hello?
AR) dude! i first heard your single “Anna” on Paste and then i saw every concert you played in cincinnati from junior year until i went to college! I love you!
TJ) o. well, thanks, i guess.
AR) odeargoodness-do you remember me? I met you a couple times- I used to have long dreadlocks (for the record, my head is shaved now.) You were at my mom’s art show in december- i was so bummed i couldn’t be there- but she sent me a picture of you!
TJ) wow. security?!
AR) so how did the recording go? I totally pre-ordered my CD.
TJ) (i can’t predict the response to this one)
AR) you know, i just wanted to tell you that your lyrics have helped me a lot this year. I had a pretty low first year of college, and plastering my dorm walls with lyrics from “It’s alright” and “Anna” really helped me get through stuff.
TJ) well gee, thanks.
AR) yea! so i’ll see you at the next concert i can make it to! make sure you tour your new album up in cleveland so i can come see you!”

(Special thanks to Anna Risch.  You rule.)  :)

In keeping with the previous post, we received this image via twitter just yesterday:

This is making my head hurt.

“It’s quiet in Sarasota so we opened all the cabinets to “help” Justin sleep.” (From @mrs_simpleton)

I’m feeling the love, I’m feeling the love.
