Fabulous as an Undertaker

Went to the amazing Aesthetic Apparatus lecture this evening at the lecture lab at school - It was amazing. Picked up two fantastic posters (the one for The Strokes, and the one for The Thermals). I was only sort of planning on going, had been feeling really tired, and decided at the last moment to rush over, and am I ever glad I did. The two guys have this strange Wes Anderson/Royal Tennenbaums way of speaking that just cracks me up. They were so approachable and cool, and their speech on independant design and business was excellent. Very realistic, very "Don't expect to make money at this". But in a really gentle, funny way. And they were dressed like a cross between hipsters, undertakers and Mormons. Damn skippy. It made my brain switch back into the art and design mode that it really hasn't really been in for a while, so it was really nice. I could feel my brain expanding and breathing and firing. It was fabulous.
