trade deadline
sure, the nhl trade deadline was yesterday, but who gives a fuck? i made a furniture trade yesterday instead - one that has been brewing, at least in mt head, for some time now.
my good pal tobe - 1/3 of the fine design team at propellor, made a chair for the swell design show (a show centered around sustainability and design within that...) that was made from old plywood that would have generally been discarded. the design for the chair came from here, and tobe downloaded the instructions and wham! new chair. i think his version is a little bigger than the original plans, but i fell in love with it as soon as i saw it...so i knew i had to have it. i also thought that an aluminum version of it would be awesome as well...costly, but great.
so, after talking to the garbs who kinda set the trade plan in motion, i went with espresso machine in hand, and made the trade with tobe. chair for machine. i think the garbs informed him i was coming as tobe new what was up once i walked in but, that's ok...
and now, it's here and it's great. it's all starting to come together. paralam table, benches soon, the 'tobe' out there now, planters from cam and jess, bbq....nice. soon, you'll be invited over for a bbq...and if you like, you can sit on the 'tobe'...
ok. i'm gonna go look at a new bike.
