Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

This was brought to my attention by Bryan. A couple years ago BME ran a best brand design contest which he won. (Yes, I know it's not a contest). After working with Blair, they actually settled on a different design with equal amounts of personal meaning. The photo on the left is his leg cutting.

On the right is a photo that surfaced recently — I don't know if the artist stole it or it was the client, but I can't even begin to say how uncool that is. I'd have thought for something as intense as a cutting that the person would have enough respect for themselves to not try and steal someone else's soul!

So the CD went to press yesterday. 1000 copies should be in my hands on November 29th or something like that, and they'll be in BMEshop just in time for Christmas. They'll be priced somewhere between $9.99 and $14.99 and 500 will be available to the public (the rest go to the artists and to radio stations).

Many of you emailed me about various errors — the typographical and grammar/spelling errors have been fixed, and Phil's missing photo credit was added.

I have two quickie links:

• Laws Seek to Protect U.S. Bikers – I thought this might be interesting to people here as it speaks to very similar dress-code prejudice that tattooed and pierced people deal with daily.
• Terrorsts vs. US Governement: a guide to telling the difference – The jokes are pretty obvious and have been floating around quite a bit… but still…

I just got this instant message, and just got a second similar one:

>hey shannon :) i just heard on CFNY you'll be on the morning
>show tomorrow, or least they're trying to get you on hehe.
>that should be interesting

Now, I think most of you know I have a “medical condition where I am unable to form new memories” (not quite that extreme), so it's quite possible I do have some appearance I was supposed to do, but I'm almost entirely sure I don't know anything about this.
