I gotta be honest, apparently I’ve been living under a gigantic rock and hadn’t heard of the awesome NOTCOT until today when they posted a really cool write-up titled Art Of The Gift Card showcasing some of the new holiday Gift Cards at Target. They even went above and beyond and devoted a special something to our ‘Winter Fishing Hole’ Gift Card/Game. We’ve actually been getting reports that they are selling out at stores (that’s a good thing, right?) but you can find them online through 12/31.
Oh, and yes I’m multi-tasking by kicking myself while adding the NOTCOT RSS feed to my daily visits.

When Nonsek asked us if we’d like to open an IC artist channel, we took a gander at their current roster and quickly said “mmmmkay”. If you haven’t played around with their super-cool custom T-shirt remix madness, do yourself a favor and check it out. Infinite options!

So, our dad is pretty cool. Cool for many reasons, but right now especially because he just launched Curtis Clark Guitars, his new blog showcasing his amazing (if we may say so ourselves) hand-crafted acoustic guitars. Dad’s an incredibly gifted woodworker, so naturally we were pretty excited when he decided to become a luthier. We’re proud of you, pops! Oh, you can also follow him on Twitter.
