Great post, Grant. Truly inspired. Brings to mind the line about asking a consultant the time and 18 months later getting a bill for your newly built watch factory. (Which isn’t as funny now that I’m consulting.)

Grant…as a fellow Nutmeg Stater let me say this: IT’S TIME TO COME HOME!

It’s fall here…lovely weather.

Football!!

Patterns Schmatterns…come home!

This stuff’s starting to get to you.

And, if you start quoting lines from The Princess Bride, I swear, I’m calling the American Embassy in Beijing!

See ya soon!

Trevor, thanks, (and not very funny one, apparently.) Grant

Rob, no, why, have I stolen a plot line? I have looked at PR, but I can’t claim to have read it with care. Thanks, Grant

Am I missing something here? This was a widely known viral street art project done by Shepard Fairey. http://www.obeygiant.com

He’s a hugely successful artist, with gallery shows, a merchandise line, and a magazine called Swindle.

This is what separates you from the rest of us- we slackers would merely have googled for ‘obey’. Those of us who google instead of travel the world salute you.
