Will Ferrell answers internet questions

As if there weren’t enough reasons to love Will Ferrell.

Nylon gives us some love

If you haven’t already heard, Nylon Magazine wrote up a post today on our artist series shirts! How unbelievably sweet is that? We’re ecstatic about the love and support that we’ve been getting and would like to give Nylon a big thanks from all of us at Holiday Matinee.

Cute as a button

I’m obsessed with people-watching. And when it comes to fashion, Lookbook.nu is like having your own personal trendspotter. The site is so well designed I feel like I’m in the know from SF to Sydney.

Oh Hi Mark!

If you like unintentional comedy as much as I do you’ll be doubling over in laughter after watching this scene from The Room. This reminds me of the Conan O’Brien Walker Texas Ranger lever a few years back.

Astrocamp eat your heart out

Here’s a summer camp for all ages that you can feel good about. Climate Camp at its core is an eight day gathering of like-minded people to discuss and actively participate in reversing potential climate catastrophes. It takes place in Ireland between the 15th and 23rd of August 2009, but is mostly a tool for inspiring larger demonstrations and activism on a global scale. The idea is that if you educate enough people then eventually the problem will be too big to be ignored. I wish there was one of these in the states.

Light gets a new look

Simplicity is beautiful and Craighton Berman has just set the bar for simple design with his new coil lamp. The thing is made entirely out of one electrical cord, and it actually works! Not only that, you can order a kit that comes with a cord, bulb, and an acrylic frame if you want, and put it together yourself. Really top notch idea and well executed.

Green music (not reggae)

Finally, the perfect marriage between great f*ckin music and the environment. Project 3090, taking place in New Orleans, will be one of the first music festivals in the world to be       powered almost exclusively by green energy. The two stages and all of the lights will run on solar and wind turbine generated electricity, and all of the containers will be bio-degradable. Featuring bands like Ghostland Observatory and MyNameIsJohnMichael, Project 3090 promises to be the most low impact music event since the talent show you held in your backyard in 6th grade. So if you like music and love a green earth than this is definitely the music festival to hit up.
