J.R. Montoya, working the press brake.

The Tillman brothers came by the shop today armed with chorizo, tortillas, jalapenos, anaheims, eggs, tomatoes, onions—all the fixings for Millard Tillman's famous breakfast burritos. Clovis broke out the camera and of course the boys got the DB brand involved (turns out it makes a solid salsa masher and leaves a wicked fine mark on a flour tortilla). Delicious, especially when set to that fresh Mulatu Astatke track. Enjoy.

A couple in NYC ordered up this custom Sheep credenza. Soon after we handed it off to Clovis and Darnell of Horsehead Crating we found this strange video in our in-box. Sure, we cut the Tillman brothers some slack since they're crate builders by trade, but please, fellas, someday you're gonna have to get a video camera (and some proper editing skills).

Still we're fans of this Sheep's moves, and that Jay-Z and Alicia Keys track suits him and his future home just fine. Yes, his steps may be limited and his rhythm may not be perfect. But what he lacks in natural skills he more than makes up for in chest-out attitude and smashing good looks.

Prisencolinensinainciusol, the name of the track playing over this stop-motion video, is, in an incredible coincidence, the cockney term for Armadillo Product Testing.

Fittingly, the Horsehead Crating crew (DoubleButter's in-house strangeness group) orchestrated some product tests on our Armadillo coffee table to accompany the song. We administered the tests while the Tillmans from the Horsehead clan worked the cameras.

The results: if the table can handle a Molotov cocktail we're sure it can handle your wussy mojito.

The Roadrunner bench stunt was obviously a bit of self-promotion but it wasn’t only that. The two buildings we picked are the highest-profile new buildings in Denver and they were both designed by international architects, not by any of the many talented local firms. Plus, the MCA, an institution with a mission to support and champion new art, chose 50-year-old Bertoia and Saarinen pieces for their cafe. Denver’s got plenty of local firms cranking out good design in all fields and we thought that installing some unauthorized local benches would be an interesting comment on the relative lack of Denver in the new DAM and the new MCA Denver. Plus it was seriously fun.
