Guerilla Gardening is an artform that has been gaining quite a bit of attention as of late. I LOVE the concept… Let’s take misused and neglected land and transform it into something that’s fun and/or inspiring to look at.
An LA-based design firm has taken this concept to the next level with seed bombing and helps involve those of us that don’t have quite as green of thumbs. Common Studios has launched a project they are calling Green Aid. By repurposing vintage vending machines and selling pre-made seed bombs they are expanding the guerilla gardening movement to the masses. You can simply purchase a seed bomb, toss it into a vacant lot, and let mother nature get to work.

On a recent trip to Seattle I found myself at a bar singing karaoke. Flipping through the pages of an endless white binder causes 2 distinct emotions… 1) nostalgia for songs that once spoke into your soul, and 2) anxiety as you have to choose only one (or 2 or 3) to bring back to life.
I must say my friend Baird hit the nail on the head with his selection though. For better or worse, I have woke up to this song repeating in my head since that night. The root cause I’m still not sure of. Perhaps his stellar performance is to blame, but nonetheless, it reminded me of how blatantly awesome music in the 1990’s was.
Here is a taste for you, and a trip down memory lane (complete with words to follow along).
