A week ago our friend, and fellow Designbox member, Paul Friedrich (we did a post about Paul’s Skateboard Cowboys back in July) sent out an email titled “A test of your willpower” and it certainly has been a test.

Watching these puppies sleep/play/eat is a great way to distract yourself. There are 6 puppies, 3 girls and 3 boys all with “A” names. Girls: Autumn (Purple collar),  Ayumi (Yellow collar), Amaya (Red collar). Boys: Aki (Green collar), Akoni (Black collar), Ando (Blue collar). Take some time and check them out!

Last month (June 6), Endless Grind and FM Goods of Raleigh had a collaborative show and benefit called “Drawing Blanks.” A bunch of blank skateboard decks were painted by local artists, and then they were all silent auctioned on the First Friday in June. The auction benefitted The Disabled American Veterans of NC.

The show was great and packed! but the audience was more into the scene than owning any of the decks. Lucky for me, cause I scored these 3 Paul Friedrich cowboys for a nice price! Picked ‘em up today and just had to share.
