Final Call for Homework Assignments

Everyone who had an active year-long subscription that included our spring release, “Utility”, received a bonus shipment containing three official Field Notes Blue Exam Books as well as a Final Exam assignment. THIS FRIDAY (7/14) is the deadline for submitting your homework to have a chance to win cool prizes. Check all the details here. We’ve read a zillion of them and the competition is tough, but you can’t win if you don’t enter.

An Indispensable Form of Talking to Myself

“They called me Inky as a boy, and I still seem to get as ink stained as I did seventy years ago. I started keeping journals when I was fourteen and at last count had nearly a thousand. They come in all shapes and sizes, from little pocket ones which I carry around with me to enormous tomes. I always keep a notebook by my bedside, for dreams as well as nighttime thoughts...”

Maria Popova’s post about author Oliver Sack’s life time of note taking is fabulous, and well worth a read. 

You Get a Bundle of Them

“They are made to go out into the real world with you and withstand wear and be filled up and then you yell NEXT and start another.” Thanks to FN retailer Secret Lentil for the nice words and swell pics.

We Get Mail

Chas of Deadlux Counterculture writes, “I use my Field Notes to take down all kinds of sketches, notes, thoughts, and ideas. There is one in my back pocket at all times getting nice and beat up, building character every day. Utility recently made it into the rotation and came in handy today while my 8 year old daughter was doing her homework. I overheard her complaining to my wife about forgetting her ruler at school, and then she shouted for me.

‘Daaaad, I need your help! I left my ruler at school and I need one for my homework. Do you have one?!!’

Dad to the rescue! Thanks for making me look good Field Notes! My subscription is paying off in ways beyond the page.”

We’re hard at work on the Fall and Winter releases and have something coming up very soon that goes in the opposite direction to everything we’ve ever done. Stay tuned.
