Their posters are consistently awesome and the boutique on Allen has a great collection of <a class="blank" href="http://kidrobot.com/">Kid Robot</a> etc.  I mean, when was the last time <em class="tb_i">you </em>were featured in <a class="blank" href="http://heroandsound.com/blog/SpinMag.jpg">Spin Magazine</a>?  That&#039;s what I thought.<br />
<br />
Their design work is <em class="tb_i">so</em> good in fact, that Artvoice has apparently <a class="blank" href="http://herodesignstudio.blogspot.com/2009/08/we-are-victims-of-design-thievery.html">stolen some</a>.  The post to which I link is a must read -- and the images tell the story.<br />
<br />
Now, that just takes raw guts.  Stealing art from a company just around the corner?  Isn&#039;t the internet big enough to find something else to plagiarize?<br />
<br />
Perhaps there is some kind of misunderstanding here.  I have yet to hear AV&#039;s take on this story, and I look forward to it.  From the Hero side, though, the whole thing reeks of laziness and hubris.  That&#039;s right: not just regular old pride -- tragic-plot-starting hubris.<br />

I certainly appreciated the compliment, but &quot;zine&quot;?  I&#039;ve always associated that term with collages of old magazine photos with anti-establishment text scrawled over them.  I mean, I&#039;m all for that and everything, but dang. <br />

Come on down and say &quot;Hi&quot;.<br />
<br />
This fair was sort of the catalyst for Greenfern.   When I attended last year, I looked around and said &quot;huh.  so it is possible&quot;.  I&#039;m looking forward to being on the other side of the tables this year.<br />

<a class="blank" href="http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/3/9/">Here&#039;s</a> another geeky webcomic railing against e-books.  Should it strike me as odd that the hardcore nerds are anti?  I&#039;ll bet it strikes Amazon that way.<br />
