The last time I traversed the roads East of Texas, I was moving to Dallas to be near my girlfriend, and now I will be leaving Dallas with my wife - that worked out pretty well. Very poetic and such.
The big day approaches swiftly. On Saturday the Blankenships are moving to Boston. Our planned route heads East, takes a slight detour through South Carolina to see family and friends, and then up the East Coast (how I miss you so) to New England. We’re planning on arriving in Boston on the 3rd or 4th, just in time for the Independence Day festivities, the Boston Pops, and copious amounts of patriotism, fireworks, grilled meat, and flowing beverages.
We have a furnished July/August sublet (thanks, Irina!), so we’re traveling fairly light - one vehicle and no trailer - and keeping the rest of our stuff in storage in Dallas until September, when our “real” lease starts.
Wish us well.

Graphic Designer Matthew Wahl has quickly become one of my new favorite people to watch. His sense of typography and simplicity is always on point and this current crop of identity work for the New Attitude conference is just right. Signage, shirts, name tags - everything feels good and reads easy, which is no easy task in conference world.
I also adore his Flickr buddy icon.
Blog reader Matt Kirkland lives in Hong Kong. (Check him out on Flickr). He sent me an email today.
“I saw a funny thing on the subway this weekend: a guy wearing a t-shirt that looked exactly like this. It looked really familiar, but I couldn’t place it. It kept nagging at me this week, until this morning I figured it out: it’s a [Prom Night Fist Fight] illustration. So now the questions are:
1. Have you sold t-shirts of this?
2. Or do you just have t-shirt-making fans in China?
3. Or is your PNFF an homage to something else?”
Well, Matt, first off, thanks for the catch. Secondly, in order of query:
1. No, sir.
2. Apparently?
3. Again, negative.
I wonder if they’re selling well? I want my cut!
