Villen Stickers?

[snow-how.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know where I can get some of those great VILLEN stickers I see around town? I googled and found this guy, but in order to send him a message I apparently need to have a myspace account (which I don't have, and don't want)... surely there's another way to obtain this item?

(I have no idea how to tag this, btw -- I tagged it 'shopping' because there's no 'local pride' or 'villen' tag ;-)

I would ask before you use these stickers that you learn a little bit about why, and by whom, they were created. They are more than just cool stickers, there is a story behind them, which is closely intertwined with some of the tragedies suffered by the youth of Somerville. It is a true testament to our youth that they have found several positive ways to honor themselves and their friends.
I can't put you in touch with anyone directly, but try asking some of the kids playing basketball at Lexington Park, or some members of the group advocating for a skate park in the city, or some members of the community organization 'Save Our Somerville'. Save Our Somerville has a yahoo group site. Also try 'jrockpublishing.com', someone there may be able to point you in the right direction.

Yep, I know what the stickers are about. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll give those a try.

Now that I'm curious about it... is there a reason you don't want to tell the story here?
