Oh, and the only ACL artist CD I purchased was Cary Ann Hearst and the Gun Street Girls:Dust and Bones. Not just because it is a great album, and it was a total indie release, but because the cover was lovingly handcrafted with artwork of a skull with heart-shaped eyeholes. Observe.

Also, I have finished and ordered my "camera" stuff from cafepress. They are under the shop "Cameraholic", featuring my beloved Konica Auto S3, and I hope to add more designs. Observe.
