Cool independent tradeshows are hard to come by now days. Fortunately, our friends at estudio201 organized Cargo. See you there the 21st & 22nd.

I got this thing for 4th of July parades and bbqs. So this year I went big, and drove to Washington DC for the weekend. I was trying to be just another tourist, but was reminded of true American organized crime and gangsters when taking this picture of the Masonic Temple. After a few hot dogs and lemonades, I went back to being a tourist. LOL.

The message below, urging concerned Americans to oppose oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge and off our coastlines, was sent to you by

http://www.nrdcactionfund.org

Dear Friend,

In the seven years since George Bush and Dick Cheney began a “Drill and Spill” rampage worthy of nineteen-century oil barons, the price of oil has skyrocketed 100 dollars and the price of gasoline has more than doubled.

But don’t wait for them to admit failure. The White House is too busy exploiting our pain at the gas pump in order to hand Big Oil the ultimate prize: access to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and America’s spectacular coastlines.

Their plan is simple and cynical. The President and his Congressional allies will sell America the big lie: If we’d only let the oil giants drill where they want, our problems at the pump will be over.

Please go to http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/stop_arctic_and_offshore_drilling right now and tell your Senators and Representative you are not buying it.

America cannot drill its way out of this energy mess. We simply don’t have enough oil to move the world market.

President Bush’s own Energy Department estimates that drilling in the Arctic Refuge would lower prices at the pump by less than four pennies per gallon — and that would be 20 years from now!

Drilling off the spectacular coastlines of California, New England and Florida might produce a few weeks’ worth of oil and lower prices by a few more pennies. Meanwhile, the price of gas has gone up 50 cents just this spring!

There’s only one way to end our energy pain and that is by breaking our destructive dependence on oil. We need cars that get at least 40 miles per gallon. We need millions of plug-in hybrids that connect to a cleaner electric grid powered by renewables like wind and solar. We need more mass transit and better biofuels.

These are the real energy solutions that President Bush has sacrificed on the altar of oil addiction. Only the oil companies would want more of the same.

Go to http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/stop_arctic_and_offshore_drilling and tell your Senators and Representative to reject these shameless land grabs by Big Oil. Tell them to start kicking our national oil habit instead of emptying our wallets and destroying our last wild places.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Frances Beinecke

Yesterday, my studio got invaded by the good guys at Mtv 3. They asked questions, moved furniture, cracked jokes, and shot video for an upcoming fashion show. Thanks for visiting Shawn, Willa, and Leila. I’ll let you all know when the shows airs.
