It's done! Here's the final version of the intro we did for the Typofile film festival this year. It's the fifth year, hence the five senses. Everything was done with real tangible type and stop motion. Yes. We are that hardcore.

Anniversary Number One

Trent wanted to surprise me with our anniversary present so it's a little late, but it makes up for that in pure awesomeness. The extremely rad packaging holds one song composed and performed by Max Bemis of Say Anything (one of my favorite bands!) especially for our anniversary! Thanks Max! Trent enlisted Michelle to help him with the design, which was perfect. Yay for people who understand my love for big stacky type! Oh and you can't really tell from the picture, but it even came shrink wrapped. HOW COOL IS THAT!? It was totally legit. And the sweetest gift I've ever recieved. Oh and don't let me forget, the song is adorible. I cried.

Thanks Trent! You are my favorite husband ever!

Happy 4th

We headed to Coney island to watch the hot dog eating contest this weekend...we lost our appetite for hot dogs after that. Thanks to Michelle for the cute picture.

Emril Grills For The Interns

This tuesday Emril showed us how to grill on the MSLO roof deck! All I have to say is mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Good Parts

This weekend has probably been the best out here. Friday we went to a concert in Prospect park in Brooklyn. Blonde Readhead was playing and the outdoor venue was gorgeous (after the bout of rain of course). Saturday we rode the ferry over to Governor's Island where they were having an art show all around the island. We rented bikes and had so much fin riding around that we skipped most of the exhibits. We did see a giant (no really it was massive) wind chime. It was tuned to the tritone, which in the middle ages was considered demonic. No demons on the island though, only awesomeness.
Afterwards we headed up to peir 17 on Manhattan island and got there right in time to get awesome seats to the free performance by the New York City Opera! The symphony was incredible and the vocal talent was out of control. AND to make things ever more perfect, they performed selections from a bunch of different operas. Pretty much we just got to see all the good parts.
I think that summs up the weekend really well actually. All the good parts of New York.
