A couple notable items from the world of Surly:
1) DWITT (aka David Witt) has been chosen to design the artwork for Darkness in 2009. Click here to check out his work.
2) The BIG, new tanks have arrived and been installed. Take a look at these pics!
The cap, covering the hole that had to be cut into the roof to accomodate the tanks, is removed.
And in go the barrels!
There are a few of ’em, so let’s get down to biznich…

If you haven’t yet toured Surly’s facility and are interested in doing so now might be your chance. As of about 2 pm today (Sunday), their website is showing that there are openings for the Friday, July 3 tour. I suspect this tour will fill up quickly so don’t drag your feet. What a great way to kick off the holiday weekend!
