And then he asked if I knew the gram/meter2 weight.

argh! why so many systems? … the explanation is worse than I thought (the same paper has different weights depending on its end use/grade, as each end use is cut to different dimensions, before calculating the weight). And there are so many end uses!

All that time working at a print shop & I thought there was only cover, text, normal & foam core.

At least the internet has paper weight calculators! One day I’m going to remake that calculator w/a drop down menu for common paper basis sizes. Or we could all go metric!

CHORUS:
My pants are too tight!
My kicks are too bright!
I’m sure I look
quite alllll-right
As long as I stay
outta the sunlight!

Inspiration: getting ready for the show last night after eating ice cream
