Paul Schmelzer as signed by Thurston Moore

I've met Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and the other members of Sonic Youth a few times through work (most recently this summer), but I got both their signatures through the mail, perhaps in hopes they'd not connect the dots from my wacky side project to my somewhat upstanding day job. But I do admire them both--as well as SY's Lee Ranaldo--for their fearlessness in music, their embrace of experimental art, and their many (and sometimes wacky) side projects.
