The guys at Alamofire unpacking a shipment from Field Notes HQ. If your company, Explorers’ Club or street gang needs a custom run of memo books, just give Michele a shout and she’ll hook you up, after all, “Michele’s your lady at Field Notes Brand.” Use the contact link above.
Violinist Michi Regier travels the world following all sorts of violin-related pursuits: studying folklore, ethnic music, Americana, classical music, and performing at orchestra halls, renaissance festivals, and on the street. When her composition software just wasn’t cutting it in 7/8 time, she turned to FIELD NOTES.
This commentator’s musical tastes generally reside squarely in 4/4 time but I like to shake it up with some math rock. 7/8 is pretty rare in the pop music world, unless you play Pink Floyd’s Money, at 66.6 RPM (please don’t). It looks like Michi’s got a pretty wide variety of music available, maybe I could start with the fiddlin’ and ease into the heavier stuff.
We talk big here at FIELD NOTES HQ, pretending we’re adventurers transcribing secret Enigma code, and not just doughy nerds writing down our sub sandwich orders. We know our product is tougher than we are, we’ve just been waiting for someone to prove it. Well, friends, NOTES don’t get any more “FIELD” than this:
In January, John Pull led an group of construction workers on a field project among native Mayans in Guatemala’s Ixil Triangle. He’s the gringo between the two guys with Israeli assault rifles. And I don’t think that kid got his Che t-shirt at Hot Topic.
But John wasn’t down there inciting revolution, he was working with Helps International, and his team saw more than 1000 patients. They also installed stoves and water filtration systems in 50 homes and one school. John handed out our memo books to the team leaders, so we’re very happy to see FIELD NOTES playing a part in this brave and successful mission. Thanks for the photos, John, and keep up the GOOD WORK.
Man, that is one good lookin’ memo book.
I’ll forever be blown away by the beauty of these little books. Ya just never know what you’re gonna find out there. So much beauty, and so often forgotten.
I can’t quite remember where I found this one, and there’s something a little bit sad about that. What’s important is that I got my dirty mitts on it, and it’s in safe hands now in the Field Notes master archives, for the ages.
Another magazine we love, Paste, is talking about FIELD NOTES. In the May 2009 “Paste 7″ feature, Production Coordinator Mark DiCristina writes:
If you’re the kind of person who likes to make lists, jot notes and scribble calculations, Field Notes will change your life. If you’re not that kind of person, you should be.
We couldn’t agree more! Thanks Mark, and thanks for the complete PDF of Page 16.

Remember all those times we told you to join the mailing list? Did you? We offered our new COLORS notebooks, “Butcher Extra Blue,” to the mailing list first, and they sold out in a few hours. The good news: you can still score some by subscribing to FIELD NOTES COLORS. Only 100 subscriptions are available, and they’re going fast. Here’s how to get two 3-Packs of “Butcher Extra Blue” and the next three quarterly limited-edition FIELD NOTES without fear of missing out.

Nice one, Lee! Thanks! Speaking of remembering it later: If you’re on our mailing list, and couldn’t get on the site yesterday, sorry about that, response was much higher than anticipated. There’s still time, but you’d best hurry, we’re almost sold out.
Man, we love Indiana. The Crossroads of America! And like this old memo book, we are “Geared For Action” for 2009. We’ve got a bunch of cool stuff coming, so be sure to keep yer eyes wide open. Big plans, friends, big plans.
And man, look at that “F” in “Farm.” The kind of stuff we “F”reak out over.

Sure, we love old memo books. We like the old type, the aged paper and the ancient handwriting that might populate a page. Ghosts. So many ghosts.
And we also love the somewhat more contemporary examples from the 70s and 80s. Come one, come all. All have a home with Field Notes.
“Trusted Family Seedsmen.” We like the sound of that. Good work if you can get it.
