London-based artist Tina Mammoser had wanted to trade with me for a while... she just wasn't sure what to trade me! [...]

This trade was, let me see, about... almost 22 months in the making! [...]

I've been a little quiet lately, preoccupied with relocating and starting a new job. I am now a car crash test dummy. I enjoy it, so far, but I haven't really been tested yet... [...]

Yesterday afternoon I traded the Genuine Tigerdog 'Lucky' Hair (Limited Edition bag 3 of 42,507!) for... four used pint glasses (plus four beer mats) (or cider mats come to think of it). [...]

Just a few photographs in this post. [...]

Ever since you put Jody's songwriting trade up I wanted to do this trade: Jody is a friend, and someone that has a clear vision of music and the music industry, and where the future is. And since this trade was open to *anyone*, I thought 'why not?' [...]
