Alec Soth got a trip to Vegas and $500 for his 40th birthday. He came home with something he’d like to sell you.

Thanks for the tip, Pam.

Soth? I thought this was by Demetri Martin.

Nice post, sir. Thank God Buk is buried in San Pedro, and didn’t have to see that. He would’ve kicked you. But applauded your effort.

I leave for Vegas tomorrow. Pray tell, at what store did you see this fabulous Buk book?
