I sat down this weekend with Andrew and Breezy, who run the pretty amazing shop Needles and Pens in San Francisco. We talked for a little bit, I shot a bunch of video, and I put it together into this little four minute profile, accompanied by the musical stylings of Dianogah.

I'm not sure why it strikes me as so odd to be using a blog to suggest that people pick up a magazine, considering our entire collection is paper-based and this blog is in fact a blog of a paper magazine.
This month's Harper's (May 2007, unfortunately not on their website yet, if you can't get it on a newsstand, just wait a couple of weeks) has an article on just that digital/paper dissonance, and presents an incredibly in-depth view of the Prelinger Archive in San Francisco. Never have I been so inspired to take our entire collection and organize it according to an esoteric whim, then continue to reorganize it ad infinitum.
