The St. Louis Cardinals have launched a campaign to “Stand for Stan” Musial. Their ultimate goal is to get President Obama to award Stan Musial the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award for a civilian. The Cardinals asked us to submit a video for their “Flat Stan the Man Film Festival”. The goal of the online film festival is to help in their effort to build awareness and drive people to sign the petition.

Found this “before and after” featured on Design*Sponge today – the dresser’s new paint scheme looks eerily similar to a logo I’ve seen…

It is quite possible that Holly and Alyssa took our tag line to heart, and liberated their furniture by branding their spaces with a whole new and exhilarating look. Either that or the two girls are simply giving us a shout out. Or maybe they just really dig blue and orange circles.  You be the judge.

Do you like Hank Sr. or Dylan or the Stones or your basic roots rock music? If you enjoy tunes in the fresh air while being surrounded by amazing sculpture, photography, lithographs, painting, textile and tons of other art…we have a date for you.

June 4-6, on the campus of Eden Seminary will be the “Art & Air” Webster Groves Outdoor Art Fair. Lots of food, fun, art and music…specifically on June 5 from 5:00-7:00 will be a performance by DANG – the duo that features Dave Glauber and Gregg Eilers with special guest Doug Flory. Enjoy a frosty beverage, some fine art and some twangin’ tunes…plus, it’s free!

It’s just good DANG fun – hope to see you there!

In this week’s Rad, Jovan Musk answers the question that I myself have been asking for far too long.

If only I would have seen this Rad years ago!  I could have avoided that whole super low-rise jean phase.  And I sure as heck would have been eating a lot more peaches covered in…. yogurt?  Anyway, as you can see here, Jovan Musk has provided the masses with a no-nonsense guide to bringing sexy back.  High-waisted denim dual butt grabbing?  Check.  Making out at low tide and in a mall food court?  Check, check.  What is sexy?  Collages are what sexy is.  They couldn’t be more clear if they printed this thing on transparent vellum.

Switch president, John Nickel, got the opportunity to knock another item off his bucket list by takin a ride on the Zamboni at the Blues game Monday night.

He bought the ride during a fundraising auction sponsored by one of our clients the Basketball Hall of Fame. Judging by the smile on his face, the purchase was definitely worth it.

Go, Zamboni Man!

So okay, this hasn’t exactly been The Weekly Rad.  It may be more accurate, but The Whenever I Feel Like It Rad just doesn’t sound as good.

Anyway, this week’s Rad is a special request from one of our very own rad Switch dudes, Coder.

The bold and baggy fashions worn here by this fun loving threesome are called Skidz*.  This Rad features just three of the endless number of wacky prints available.  But as you can see, Skidz go with pretty much everything, especially straw hats.  With a drawstring waist and extremely relaxed fit throughout, you couldn’t ask for a more comfortable pair of pants for that awkward third-wheel situation you’ve gotten yourself into.

*Fanny pack not included.

Pretty incredible light installation from magic-makers YesYesNo.

Even cooler that it was a collaboration of several entities for pure human engagement.  Credits go out to Hellicar & Lewis, Inside Out Productions and The Electric Canvas.

Great video from Frano-American rockers Hold Your Horses.  I didn’t even know bands made videos anymore…

I seriously love kids.  They are funny and weird, and usually have a good snack on hand.  I love them even more when they are featured in Rads, like the kids below.  Let’s assess.

Look how much fun they’re having!  Just hugging and leaning, acting totally natural.  The wardrobe choice is great here, too.  When neon sweats are unavailable, primary colors are the obvious alternative.  Add a few scrunchies and some shades on a rope, and you’ve got pure Rad gold.  Make the logo bigger?  Naaah… more like make these stylin’ kids bigger.  Thanks, Jess, for the submission of this Rad.
