big 5-0


on november 26, 2010 i turned a corner. fifty that is. my amazing daughter, tillye turned 21 on the following day, the 27th, so we celebrated with a shuler chalet gathering around the fire pit, rockin hard live music in the garage and blowing up 4000 firecrackers in 10 seconds. sweet! (thanks heather!) it was big fun. the picture here is an undescribably amazing gift my right hand man and design compadre, mark lawrence, created, designed, silkscreened for this momentous b-day. what a great surprise. thanks mark.

big ups!

to eddie white and his amazing group of friends, volunteers, musicians, and on and on who helped make the festival a success. i love working with eddie and his folks and creating the art for his projects. if anybody out there wants some merch, i'm sure you can contact awendaw green and get some. get some! thanks again eddie for letting us be a part of your world. rock on my friend. g
