Another issue to be aware of

The Village Voice's article "The Best Place that Will Cease to Exist When Columbia Takes Over West Harlem" points out an interesting problem to be aware of involving the potential disappearance of the Hint House Artist Collective.  Read the article (shout-out to artist Tamara Gayer!!) here.

Grace Under Pressure

 

Courtney and Heather learned a few new tricks today when a fresh roll of bubble-wrap arrived. Narrowly avoiding disaster, they managed to work it out. Rob, we're really starting to get the hang of this. But that doesn't me we can keep it up much longer. Come back soon.

Heather's for sale on eBay (a.k.a. we LOVE Elisa Jimenez)

Although it looks like Heather's for sale on eBay, that's actually a handmade dress being advertised by Elisa Jimenez.  Elisa is a designer on the upcoming season of Project Runway!!!  Go Elisa! You can check out her website (and, um, a photo of Monica as well) here.
