sooo... is this the same line as "Right on, Solid, and Far out?"
because, as a little person history is where i keep giants at an amusing distance. trying to understand, i read up on Sonnie T's site, the only person i'm familiar with sending 14 trad (and B. Rodden, i guess? whatev--) who had about 20+ listed. then, it all came together. ST had MV listed as a hero.... me too, dood!

Wow, I just saw the photos tonight.
1) Trad in the Red is not dead. Neither is the piton. This is just plain kool stuff!!
2) Holy crap! Andrew is F-n crazy and F-n powerful!
3) I guess Etienne is serious about a more lucrative, journalistic outlet for his photos so the world is going to have wait.
Super exciting!!!

Etienne will post some up his shots when he gets settled back into France... and he's somewhat less infatuated with Andrew's ass. Although those are some of the better butt-shots I've seen in while!
