Quick Trip ›› MPLS Weekend


This past weekend I flew to Minneapolis to chat with some very nice people about design and life and other things. It was great to be home and it got me PUMPED for my upcoming triumphant return.


I flew Sun Country which, in my experience, has always been the most entertaining airline. This lady brought her dog with her—which isn’t that strange in and of itself—what was strange is what the dog did to the people around her. Suddenly grown men were talking like babies and letting the dog lick their faces. Women carried on lengthy conversations with the animal while completely ignoring the actual human woman holding the dog. But the best was when the flight attendant instructed the woman to stuff the dog under the seat for takeoff.


Ever since this trip, I always take a little time to review the safety instructions on planes. Not so much so that I know what to do in case of an emergency… but to find secret design silliness. Once again, Sun Country did not disappoint.

Apparently, the use of electronics from the early 90′s are strictly prohibited on their flights…


… and in case of an emergency, Mom Jeans will help you out.


Fortunately, this trip didn’t have to be all business… I did have some time to catch up with friends…


… have a few beers…


… and the highlight… see Father John Misty play at the Seventh Street Entry. Oh my. Can we just talk about how awesome and dreamy and sassy and amazing he is for a second? Because he is. If you haven’t heard his album, I strongly suggest you pick it up. It’s been on repeat in my ears since it came out.

Side Note: All these pictures were taken on my iPhone with the Visual Supply Co. App. It’s kind of my new favorite thing and totally worth the 99 cents it costs. Just sayin’.
