“Dear Meaghan, Please, for me, for everyone that has become associated with Tumblr… Please discourage people from having Tumblr Meetups at Chili’s. If you don’t want to get into a confrontation, you can give me the email of whomever is organizing the San Jose Tumblr Meetup, and I will personally try to talk them out of it. It’s bad enough that the Ann Arbor Tumblr Meetup is happening at a Starbucks, but Chili’s, really? I know there has to be a better place in San Jose. My friend and I were just joking about doing a photo shoot of me alone at Chili’s with an Awesome Blossom, and labeling it a Friendster Meetup. I really do like what is going on with Tumblr. Don’t let it all come tumbling down. Chuck McCarthy”—

I’m a little surprised to see an Ann Arbor Tumblr meetup. But fuck, Starbucks! What the hell organizer. So many better places than Starbucks in this town!
Got damn.
EDIT: Another WTF? Friday @ 1PM. What about folks that work 9-5? Fail on so many levels.

Last and most interesting Czech stamp of the series, 1963. The illustration of the spacecraft is a bit embellished from the actual design of the Vostok 5. Still though, it’s a great illustration.
This stamp must have been issued some time post-June as the correct dates for the mission are in the illustration. The mission was originally planned to encompass 8 days but was forced to end early when the waste disposal system stopped working. Regardless, the record for longest solo spaceflight was set on this mission and still stands.

1964 Czech stamp. Features a really sweet engraving of a locomotive from a company called ČKD which was a huge engineering company in Czechoslovakia, which was then nationalized after WWII. Great logo.
