Hey folks!

Elias Grey, with http://lemolobags.wordpress.com/, just posted the best blog about us! This is not surprising, considering he is probably the nicest guy on earth.

For those of you not familiar with Lemolo Bags, He and Tony Pereira won first place at the '09 Oregon Manifest Constructor Challenge(let google do the walking). Here's some bags he made for my girlfriend, Kristín.


Thanks Eli!
Love Clinton

P.s. The blog offers an incredibly unflattering photo of yours truly, if that sweetens the deal at all.
