that is super cool. i really need to break down and learn how to use a sewing machine. i just do small things right now by hand and it takes forever; when i could be doing bigger things at a faster, more secure, rate.
damn procrastination!

as for the national: well, an ex-boy put cherry tree on a mix disc for me and i've been in love ever since. matt's voice had me at "loose lips sink ships". my favorite song by them is probably slow show, my new fav is definitely conversation 16. i'm so fuckin excited to hear the new album live. you gonna try to catch them on tour?

omg, did they stick you guys in a basement too?? Texas Tech's Costume shop was always in the basement when I was there! We called it "the costume cave". Though, I sort of liked it, because it was like you were in your own little make believe world, away from everything! Reading this makes me miss it!

This is so cool to see! I am the shop foreman at a costume shop here in Michigan. I love to see how other shops are laid out. There are some very cool shoes here! Thanks so much for putting this tour on your blog!
