and…

thing 2, for ALL YOU BOSTON-AREA COMRADES!!!!! i’m playing #OCCUPYBOSTON TODAY AT 4 PM! come into boston if you’re a few hours drive away. LEAVE WORK AND COME JOIN US. dewey square, across from south station’s main entrance.

i haven’t made a new shirt in several months.
i feel it’s been too long.
i woke up the other day with “Keep Bees and Carry Spraypaint” in my meme-ridden head, Memey McMemepants.
