Time for a new post

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know. I know I said I'd post at least once a week... sue me. Life happens.

I updated my links on the side over to the right to reflect the merging of Atomic Merkin with Wrestling Efeds. I know, happened a while ago, but again, life happens. Get over it, be happy it got done.

Update on Toby. I think he needs to be renamed ToPee since all he seems to do is pee all over the place ever since we got him snipped. I'm not sure if it's spite, a temporary side effect from the snippage or what. Everyone keeps telling us it'll pass, so we wait, and keep carpet cleaner on hand.

I'm also working on redoing the Chainmail Guys website so it's all set and ready for online purchases finally. Just waiting on completing our Merchant account setup and then I'll have the store online and live. In plenty of time for the June Rennaisance Faire.

Oh, regarding the Rennaisance Faire, it is actually going to be a true Renn Faire again this year! (Yayhoo!) As opposed to the pirate fest they had last year. It was a good show, don't get me wrong, but it was very hard for the vendors to do really well. Especially all of us medieval/rennaisance themed vendors who had to constantly be barraged with the common question of "Why are you selling this stuff at a pirate fair?" Unfortunately, when we all signed on as vendors, we fully expected it to be a Renn Faire as always, after signing on we were informed of the switch. Being as we were already signed on and producing product for the show, we figured we'd give it a shot. Not saying we didn't do well, just saying that we should have done much better if it were a Renn Faire. Well, we will see how it goes this time around. I feel that with the Renn theme returning, the website being revamped and accepting online payments as well as us being set up to accept credit cards at the show now we should be in good shape. Be sure to come by any weekend in June and see for yourselves how we're doing! I've added a link to the side for the NJ Rennaisance Faire so you can get directions and whatever other info you'd like.

Hey

Nice to see you posting again. I've been so wiped out getting adjusted to the new job that I've had neither the energy nor the content ideas to post. (sigh) Maybe someday. Anyway, I have a book here that G and I bought for you. ChainMail Jewelry Designs, which, I think, will probably come in handy for the faire, right? Anyway, give us a call, and maybe we can get together soon.

Yeah, that will be awesome. I really appreciate it. We've got to pencil in some time somewhere for everyone to get together.

On an unrelated note, I received a phone call from our author friend out of the blue on Friday.
