Get Excited And Make Things by Matt Jones

Greetings, collectors! I am post-party and pre-airport, so I'm going to keep this last dispatch from the West Coast pithy. That's fine though, since today's edition from super-genius designer Matt Jones speaks for itself. (He really is a super genius! Ask anyone who knows him.)

Matt's edition, Get Excited and Make Things is certainly not the only response to the iconic Keep Calm and Carry On poster, but in my opinion it is the very best one. It's a sentiment I agree with wholeheartedly, and a perspective that I exhort you all to adopt as your mantra of our new era.

It's easier than ever to submerge oneself in gloom, doom and hand-wringing, but resourcefulness, innovation and opportunity abound. I've never seen much point in wallowing in the suckitude, I mean rrrreally: enough already! What are you going to DO about it? Because you can do something, and more importantly: you should.

Matt's print pithily embodies the attitude I aspire to live by and look for in others. I look forward to living with his bold reminder, and hope you will too.

I have lots of stuff to tell you about, but no time to do it — the party report will have to wait till tomorrow's dispatch. For now, I'm going to tend to my packing and round up the amazing 20x200 crew that made the party — and so much more — possible. We've got a flight to catch!
