Pitchfork: Recalling Warmer Days

Five months and seventy degrees ago, Busy Beaver Button Co. hung out at Pitchfork Fest in Union Park and made custom buttons.  Fest-goers poked their heads through a Derek Erdman campaign button painting of now-President-Elect Barack Obama and got their buttons on the spot.  Watch the magic on YouTube.

Talented Busy Beaver Button Co. dude Erik Harms made the video with a drum track by whoop-ass button presser Nicholas Kelley. Check out their band Picture Books.

Remember Busy Beaver at Pitchfork in 2007?
