vicks cards

Swapping business cards with other talented individuals is one of my favorite things EVER, especially when the glorious exchange occurs with other designers.
However, forgetting to print more cards when I run out of my tiny, little, record sleeves is one of my least favorite. Fortunately, I made it through the weekend in Asheville by the skin of my teeth. As the conference came to a close I decided to kidnap some fun looking characters and go out for gourmet potato chips.

menu

This little "bistro" ONLY sold potato chips. That's it. Any kind of potato chip you can think of, they'll cook it up fresh for you.

delecto

I got the cajun, sweet potato chips.

hi

The owner of this delectable shop actually studied the culinary arts in Idaho. Small world.

choco chips

The owner also gave us a sample of some raspberry, chocolate covered chips to sample for dessert.

millers

It was awesome to meet and get aquatinted with Jo and Daniel Miller. Check out their amazing letterpress shop here!

munch

After one last night in the mangy hotel I cruised up to Fairfax, VA from Asheville, NC to say a quick hi and goodbye to my Aunt Sarah, Uncle Bob, and my cousins Cathy and Phil. I had a ceremonial cousin reunion, complete with dunkin' donuts. As Cathy would say "America Runs on Dunkin'... guess that's why America can't run."

DC gas

Vilhelm also made a quick appearance while I made a quick stop in DC.

Stay tuned for an adventure of waffle proportions, coming next week.

Lip Smackin' BBQ

smart

Some of you may remember the smart car ordeal that went down when I attempted to retrieve my "compact" rental car, well after a couple days with the little fella I decided to name him "Groob" and let's just say I was glad that he faithfully got me from point "A" to point "B-B-Q".

Speaking of barbecue, my next southern food adventure commenced at Luella's with some serious smoked meats.
