terrorists, whatever!

Just when things are moving along nicely wouldn’t you know, somebody’s gotta be a wise guy.
i just walked in the door after sleeping in the nip garden— i mean, a hard day’s work— to hear from Miss Arlo that the art farm has been threatened by Librarian terrorists. Remember, Miss Arlo is elderly (bless her heart), ‘nuff said.  Presently, there is no cause for alarm, and rest assured that a thorough investigation is underway.

Chez Monkay's first Non-Line Store!

I’ve gotten everything in place, and everyone assigned to tasks on the farm, so now it was time to GO OUT THERE. Having an online store is all well and good, but (and this might be my stray-cat roots) I knew it was time to take it to the streets. Realizing the importance of this move, careful analysis was given to the style of art currently being created at the farm, and where it might best fit in. Months later, and the entire 50 grand R&D budget exhausted, the decision was made to send the human out with a pile of stuff in the backseat of her honda to a tattoo parlor.
hey, guess what? success! 50 grand well spent!
starting NOW, Chez Monkay products are available in Asheville, North Carolina at 5 Miller Lane #1 (that’s right there on Hendersonville Highway and Long Shoals, up there on the east hill)

Sneak Preview of Heretofore Unoffered For Sale Art Piece from Chez Monkay!
The human continues her interpretive dance on the grave of PRINT. She has taken to rescuing crumbling paperback novels from thrift stores (the place reeks of processed wood pulp and ink as a result).
I am actually quite proud of her for not falling apart on the grave on PRINT, I mean it could have just as well went that way. She could have thrown herself on the casket and wailed like a banshee, but no!
Here’s something she created with the text from Edgar Allen Poe’s The Gold Bug.
Maybe we should talk about that. Or maybe not, now that I think about it, I don’t have that much to say about Poe. I find birds interesting, so that Raven thing was okay by me, but otherwise I don’t have a whole lot to contribute.
Back to this art piece. It’s not listed in the store right now or anywhere. Mac (from Marketing) tells me it will only be available locally. It would be a shipping problem because it’s around 3 feet long. He alludes to available local walls but get snippy when pressed for details. Damn, that terrier personality is difficult for me to contend with! I can only guess he’s got deals not finalized.
...sorry, I did not mean to vent about interoffice interactions. Call that a sneak preview too!

Chez Monkay employs the elderly!
