Okay! The pre-sale is over! The last few pre-order books are in the mail… and now… It’s all Official Like… Down But Not Out on Squid Row is officially RELEASED…
Okay… it seems like that’s a bit over-dramatic since I told you I got the books in already. But I’m lining up some book-signing events and placing the books in shops around town here… So I will update with a list of places you can buy it locally. You’ll still be able to buy the book through Etsy… and you’ll still be able to buy the book through me, should you rather pay with a check (email me through the contact button). So there you go. If you missed out on the pre-sale but you still want a poster, you can buy them at Etsy, as well.
If you pre-ordered a book… thank you! … and smiles upon you! If you are thinking about ordering a book… smiles upon you! To all my readers… smiles upon you!
Squiddies and book buyers…
I will have you know, that books have been launched into the postal system… so you can be expecting them. That’s right… Harold worked extra hard in order to get them packed up and ready for The Postals. He’s a hard working Stufftie, I tell ya… he earns every penny of his salary!
So… if you are in the Cannery Row area anytime soon… and you like things with tentacles… The Monterey Bay Aquarium is the place you wanna be! They just opened up their new Squid/Octopus/Cuttlefish exhibition… I will be visiting in the near future and will photo document the occasion. I loves me some Squid…
Here’s something I didn’t know.
If you write “Do Not Bend” on your mail going out… you will get charged more for your postal needs. I tell truth. I went to mail out the latest issue of Art-o-rama (it’s coming to you now, subscribers) and I wrote, as I have in the past, those crazy words DO NOT BEND on the envelopes. THIS TIME, however, I was charged A WHOLE BUCK EXTRA! That is until I said, “uh, wait up a sec.” It was explained to me, right then and there, that this is what happens now when you write that on the envelope. More Postage. The nice postal lady then proceeded to SHOW me how a postal worker might bend the envelope, which I wasn’t really happy about.
Long and short. Your Art-o-rama issue is coming to your mail box; It might be bent. I am sorry (Except for yours, Audra. You got the extra postage).
