Day off in Salt Lake City, UT… Milling around the Apple store, met a guy named Ben who said he had a print shop featuring old style letterpressing… his business card definitely lived up to the hype. He offered to show us around the shop and we obliged… Spent about 90 minutes looking at amazing paper stock as well as some beautiful old print machines that he had restored. Never one to walk away empty handed, I asked if we could all have a go at working on a simple project. Ben broke out the old letter press blocks and since our favorite show is Eastbound and Down we decided to make a print of our favorite tour exclamation made famous by BMW dealer Ashley Shaeffer, “WOOH!”

Everyone involved got a chance to turn the lever and produce at least one print. We didn’t expect to love the finished product as much as we do, but we do… limited edition of 13, maybe I’ll slip a few into the merchandise booth and split the profits with the guys so we can buy a case of beer and some new Wiffle balls.

Keep an eye out for some cool limited edition letterpress goodies coming in the next few months… And thanks to Ben Webster at The Mandate Press.
