Flyers of Yore
I was digging through my collection of old flyers and found a few I'd designed for our events. It's a shame that flyers are so quick and disposable now. Wish there more printed, collectible handbills like gig posters.
This one is for the Life Sucks Die Issue 7 release party at 7th Street Entry, December 2000. It was my first ever DJ gig in Minneapolis and was also on my birthday. Oh snap!

One section of the mix included a remix I put together of Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud's 1988 rap jam "I Gotta Good Thing." A few years later, I rebuilt the remix as its own extended standalone track. Read More
