Hey kids... for those of you who were at Atlas tonight you heard my little shpeel... but for those who weren't, umm this is a t-shirt design I made in a class and now I'm making and selling the shirts to raise money for International Justice Mission (check them out here).

If you're interested let me know. Woot.

Oh, and it's not in this image for some reason... but below and to the right of the tree roots it says "held."

Some image ideas

I'm trying to dig around for some ideas along the lines of a logo-thing to use for the stencil and restoration project in general.

I like the imagery of eggs, plants, trees, leaves, doves, feathers, wings, water drops... the recycle logo is cool too in the symmetry of it and everything.

I've looked at deviantart.com and had a fair amount of luck just finding related pictures, you might try flickr and google image search too.

Here's some of my finds - if anybody has any drawings to put up, that would be great too - not personally my strongsuit.

Young at Heart Chorus

The 'old-folks' chorus I was I was talking about at our meeting tonight is called the Young at Heart Chorus (www.youngatheartchorus.com).

From what I gather, they're a group who started in 1982 in an elderly housing project, and they just started combining their talents to put on an evening of entertainment for folks. Some of their memebers have lived and performed into their 90's.

Here are a couple of youtube links to see their version of 'Fix You' by Coldplay, the first one is longer, and provides a bit of the story of the man singing it, while the other one is shorter, but a better video...

Here you go...
