i am so proud to say that my great, great friend and favorite blog topic jeff thrope has gone and got named creative director for fjallraven, that swedish outdoor underdog with the boxy kid backpacks. that they had the good sense and faith to hire jeff based only on the sniper-steady right-on-ness of his website, cold splinters, is (to me) their greatest credit. his first move was to re-imagine and redesign the brand's soho headquarters, and they're throwing a big ol' bash to celebrate his stubbly kodachrome vision. come party. i'll be there with all the regulars, hiding behind my camera and stashing free stuff. on another note, i feel really great about the fact that this blog's thousandth post advertises and celebrates jeff's best success yet. that's the whole reason this ol' thing got started anyway. really come out. it'll be the best time all october (at least).
p.s. justin kay designed that flyer.

Happy Born to be Nervous anniversary!
Happy BIRTHDAY! You did it!
I almost bought one of those boxy kid backpacks yesterday but it was too expensive. Maybe Jeff can get me a discount :) Congrats to the both of you!
