Happy Thanksgiving | Convenience is the Enemy

I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. I am especially thankful this chilly November day (in Ohio) for everyone that reads and supports ACL. The site has become quite a little community, something that is really amazing to me. So, my thanks to you all.

Posting this video has become a bit of a tradition and I love to keep traditions alive, so here you go. I hope you and your family have a happy, healthly and well fed day.

P.S. If you are planning on getting up at 4am tomorrow to buy a $3 television-set you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Thank you Michael, for a very beautiful blog!

    I was not able to check out the pop-up flea – but the beaded Native American necklaces caught my eye. I always think those are so compelling. How can I get my hands on those?

    Also, if you don’t mind my asking, where were the round keychains being sold? Was that at the Billykirk station? Where might I find some of those around Brooklyn or Manhattan?

    I also loved the belts. Haha. Attempting to live vicariously through your pop-up flea pictures.

    Thanks again!

    Hey Michael,
    Happy Thanksgiving! I’m home from NYC in Cleveland as well. Where are we drinking Christmas Ale?

    Great work – here’s to a moment in fashion having having a sustained impact on the way we live and think that makes the world a little better for all of us.

    Great work on the blog and kudos for all the hard work. Take it easy on the folks shopping today though. They are just people like you and me. Plus, better them than you and I.

    There was a moment yesterday when an electric knife sounded pretty good! I would just recommend that you make sure your carving set is sharpened and ready…as opposed to the shredding I gave my bird yesterday with a dull knife. It was still delicious!

    Ah, the High Life ads. These are my favourite beer ads of all time, especially the “Sally, salad eater” and “there was a time when a man knew how to command his vehicle” spots. Thanks for the reminder. Happy holidays

    Michael,

    I would like to thank you for a website that has personally meant a lot to me. I’ve read it over the past month from start to the most current posts.

    I first found the site because of the American List. I had been looking for good American companies, and most of my searches were in vain. You wouldn’t believe how good it felt to find your list, I told me girl friend that someone else got it. I got so excited to read the entire blog and check out each company on the List.

    Your site is awesome. I have personally purchased many things from the companies you have on your list. Most recently a pair of the L.L. Bean Signature boots, which are fantastic. I’ve also been sharing your American list and the individual companies with fellow like minded, and not-so-like minded (yet), people.

    I’m truly thankful for the work you’ve done and the blog you’ve created.

    p.s. If you hear about any company making power tools in America let us know!
