Chopper’s rejected all my tee shirt designs
The last Choptober (at Cherry Hill) is coming up, and as part of that bittersweet event, the axe house is running a little contest: a “Choptober Challenge” tee shirt design contest, to be exact about it. Well, you know full…
An exit interview.
I’m uncomfortable at Urban Open. Exhausted, really, even though it’s only the first day. A mix of trying to photograph everything (while not being a photographer) and working up the nerve to ask people to talk with me for blog…

An Axe Throwing Guided Meditation

Knives Out: The New IATF Knife Throwing League, and what it really means.
The IATF announced yesterday (in an announcement telegraphed so far in advance it could have stopped the Titanic from hitting that iceberg) that knife throwing is now part of their bevy of throw-pointed-things repertoire. You can read all about it…
