An Afternoon In The Bleachers
This weekend we took a break from designing our new logo and working on our new threads(trust me, they’re on the way) to take in a Cubs game with my sister Bridget who was visiting from ‘sota. View the entire set on Flickr.
Panda Friday
This week’s panda awesomeness is a collection of baby panda’s from the Wolong National Nature Reserve sanctuary in China. What better way to get through the rest of today before a nice and long Labor Day weekend than with baby pandas? Here are my top three, so check out the rest at Petlvr.com and let me know which ones you like the best.

Apostrophe Abuse
Apostrophe Abuse, originally uploaded by [clint].
This sign outside Sluggers in Wrigley that welcomes Cub(s) fans has enough misused apostrophes to make the Internet grammar Nazi’s heads explode. Normally, I really don’t pay much attention to grammar mistakes since I mess up this same punctuation at least once a day.
But, the banner is so littered with errors it even caught my eye. Being so obvious that it’s hard to imaging their media intern missing multiple mistakes, I wonder if the apostrophe abuse was intended. Like a way to take some pressure off the Cubs and distract from their horrible season. Sort of like “Hey guys, its cool, we’re not at the top of our game either”. Or maybe it’s poking fun at the Ernie Banks “Let’s Play Two” statue that was missing an apostrophe from 2008?
Foto Foodz: Aloha Eats
Ever since Aloha Eats opened in Lincoln Park I’ve walked past and told myself that I should check it out sometime. Well my friends, that sometime came last Sunday when Kate and I finally did czech it out. From the moment we stepped through the door I knew we were in for some delicious grub. Kate went with Mahi Mahi and I got the grilled BBQ combo. Peep some snaps below.
New T-Shirt Idea: Scared Espanda
A good friend Aaron (hi Aaron) is getting into the t-shirt design business and brought us a concept a new t-shirt called ‘Scared Espanda’. While on a recent trip to Spain, he had this idea for the ‘Scared Espanda’ t-shirt while watching a real live bull fight. These are his dope Photoshop skills in action.
Scared Panda Gets Some Face Time
A couple of weeks ago Kelly Doherty, a reporter from Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, contacted me to see if we were interested in doing a video news story on Scared Panda and our work with Chicago non-profits. The end product is below, you’ll see me talking about the company as well as the artist of the Chaotic Peace t-shirt, Danielle Baird and Maritza Martinez of Esperanza Community Services. Get ready for awesometime.
Quirky T-shirts are uniting young entrepreneurs with local artists in the hopes of making a difference in Chicago. Kelly Doherty shows us how a new company can help you feel good about spicing up your wardrobe.
I couldn’t get the video to embed, but you can watch the full video on Medill’s website here
Panda Friday: Hey Man, It’s Cool. Take All The Bamboo You Want
I’ve been finding a lot of really awesome panda pictures around the Internet lately and thought what better way to share them than right here. From now on, to welcome in the weekends, Friday is going to be Panda Fridays. Panda Fridays will be about posting a random panda picture from the net that I found during the previous week. That’s pretty much it, so enjoy!
