HOW IS THIS NOT BIGGER NEWS???

We may have come up with a drug to significantly stop the spreading of HIV!!! (No joke!)
Big news on the potentially awesome front, I've been invited to participate in the Art Directors Club's annual Design Student Reviews, where my graphic design work could potentially be reviewed by representatives from the New York Times, Tiffany & Co., and Pentagram, among others. That's AMAZING. I've begun sketching ideas for my business card and promotional buttons. See:

The back of the business card (with my contact info and all) will be laser or inkjet printed onto the paper (that's a rough approximation of the paper's color. its 80lb. cover stock, so you can really feel it) and the front will be releif printed from a linoleum block that I will hand carve. It should give the cards a more textural and handmade feel that will hopefully be memorable. In that extent, I may round the edges of the card with the new corner rounders i bought last week. The button, as I see it right now, will be 1.5" in diameter. The text would be along the edge (the pink lines are just guides, not to be printed), and I'm still totally up in the air regarding color and whatnot. Please email any suggestions you may have (email address in the box in the upper right)
My favorite podcast, TMBG Podcast, has a new episode out today, including a great new recording of TMBG's Other Thing doing a very horn-friendly version of "Metal Detector," a new recording of "The Edison Museum" as it shold have originally been recorded, on a Wax Cylinder at the actual Edison Museum, and a phenomenal new song called "Summer Is The Worst," which in name alone reminds me of His Name Is Alive's "Springtime Can Really Hang You Up The Most"

Finally, I'm beginning to get amped for another great summer home in NYC, especially the concerts. I am an ardent fan of the Siren Music Festival, but the big news right now is that Eels have announced a FREE SHOW at the NY World Financial Plaza on June 13th, a scant two days after the MoCCA Art Fest. Also proving that the World Financial Plaza is apparently the hip, happening place to be (who knew?) The Books are doing a free show there on May 24th!
For people who aren't sick of New Pornographers yet (read: not me), thay're at Central Park Summerstage on August 3rd.
Central Park Summerstage will also host Leslie Feist and Jason Collett on June 25th and Ani DiFranco on July 13th, the same day that Yo La Tengo rock the Prospect Park Bandshell.

I love live music.
