Well, I hate to be one of those guys, but I'm going to be out of town on Sunday (in Chicago for the Touch & Go 25th thing), so if there's any kind soul that would be willing to grab one of these for me I'd certainly make it worth their while. (I missed out on the set as I was 10 or 20 seconds too late on the draw). I'm not a fan of Biskup's in general, but this piece really appeals to me - perhaps because it's not as cartoony as his other stuff; more like American folk art or something. Anyhow, drop me a PM if you can help ( I totally understand if no one can, though)
