the roundup: chair enthusiast

 

Nick Dryden was literally the very first person we met when we moved to Nashville. He was instrumental in helping us secure the gas station as the home of imogene + willie, and furthermore, helped us realize our vision by offering his architecture firm‘s services pro-bono in order for us to get the building renovated. He understands and encourages urban revitalization like no other. His vision is clear and clean and simple, as is his design. So it was no shock to us when we asked Nick to do a Roundup – that he would choose to curate just one “thing,” chairs.

 

Albiet the most simple, to Matt and me, Nick Dryden is just simply the best man.

 

Love,

Carrie

This summer I made my first trip out to Yosemite. Since then, I’ve been watching this video regularly, wondering why we choose to shelter ourselves so heavily from the beautiful outdoors. Nothing in any city I’ve been to compares to the peace you can find in the wilderness. This video is an intense reminder of the awe-inspiring beauty outside our cities and works well as a 4-minute vacation, without having to leave your desk.

 

The video comes from an ongoing collaborative project by Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty. You can see more from the project here.

our choice: hometown pride

 

This brand new Black Keys video for “Little Black Submarines” makes us proud of Nashville. It is a no frills, straight up rock and roll performance piece created by the incomparable Danny Clinch. The red sparkling backdrop renders the setting unmistakable as one of our favorite local dive music venues, The Springwater Supper Club and Lounge. The familiar and energetic faces of our friends on the stage and in the crowd make us very, very happy. We hope you enjoy it as well.
