I found two Selig chairs at the local goodwill for $25 a piece last week. Just thought I'd share.

Hate you! Haha. I paid full price at my favorite store on earth. No shipping, though...FTW: http://hivemodern.com/

As for crabs, crawfish, etc. - I've had all of it, and I love it. New Orleans is one of my favorite spots in the world, food-wise.

I still definitely need to try the peanuts, though, just to say I've had it.

They're really only worth it from a side of the road vendor.

Well, take comfort in knowing I spent 20 minutes trying get them into car without damaging them and 15 minutes trying to get them out.

Hive is pretty swanky.

Back to the regular programming...
