Box Set

Alternative Press spread

Packaging for the Fueled By Ramen / Decaydance 7" singles box set and corresponding ad spreads. These box sets were exclusive to Hot Topic and limited to 5,000 copies.

I've already witnessed someone looking at one of these in the mall and ask "What is a vinyl?"

Jacob's Stories weekend

This past weekend I went on the road with Jacob's Stories for a handful of shows around the northeast. His material is great, check out some songs at the links below. Currently, his records are only available in the UK, but I hope to have some copies for sale when I get the store secion of my site up and running. Until then, you can grab them directly (click the image) from the label here:

Some photos from the trip:

Jacob's Stories in East Hampton, MA... at The Flywheel... at the bottom of the mountain


95 south in Connecticut - fooooooooooooooooorever
I-95 in Connecticut is my least favorite road in the country. Here's a factory.


95 south in Connecticut - still
Another factory. Another 10 bizarro CT I-95 hours left to go.


Merrick and Stu have been sitting in this booth for hours - psyched
Slash owns the club the show was at, but there were no top-hat shrines, no chapel-in-the-desert murals, and no signs of Saul Hudson himself. So here's Merrick and Stu power napping.


3 of roughly 12 wall monitors
Stu3. These wall monitors are literally 5 feet to the left of the stage. But if you can't see the stage or these, don't worry, there are about 12 more throughout the club.

After the show I somehow ended up at a Reggaeton party (???) but drank for free (!!!) and the next day I ran in the New York Marathon, diagonally, for about 150 feet. Unfortunately, the camera was in the tour van*, so, no pictures.
