Interview with Sailing is available now.

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Last summer I did an interview with George from Sailing.

It is now available in a hand-stitched, hand-painted booklet with many sharp photographs.

Limited to 25 copies (?!), you can probably get one here, along with lots of interesting, recommended cdrs.

I will try and reserve a few of these as 2008 Membership Drive premiums. More on that soon.
