København
Back in Copenhagen, took a long walk this morning.
Went to the Round Tower. A little hard to tell from this photo, but the architecture was and still is amazing. A consistent aggressive grade continues for what feels like eternity.
Close to the top I found my perspective.
In one of the little rooms off the rotunda, I saw this gold medal with a penny-farthing on it. You may have seen the one we have predominantly displayed at R8HQ in various photos on the blog.
Every time I see a penny-farthing I think of this.
I then read about the race for this particular gold medal. "For Riding up the Round Tower in 3 Minutes, 15/6-88". AWESOME!
One floor below I visited the museum. This one was called, I think, "Everything I Ever Read".
Total bookworm.
And then I saw the longest table. I couldn't even approximate how long it is. 100-feet?
I looked outside (again).
Hard to tell from the photo above, but the windows facing this courtyard are all offices. The juxtaposition of suits in suits working at 9AM and then these two guys; pretty, pretty, pretty cool.
Back inside with the rich people, I sat in this little room for a long time watching a video of just writing out words the old school way. It reminded me a lot of Giant and our approach to most things we do: using our hands to do the work and create. Yes, if you don't know by now, unlike 99.9% of the clothing companies you see, we draw this shit by hand. Sharpie to paper. Straight up. Fuck a computer.
I do love mason jars.
Lets take a closer look, shall we?
Enjoy today. But understand it's about that time of the season when inventory is selling out. Get it before you regret it.
