AlanaBaileyBrand has found an address in Chicago! What good news. With the Pops and the Art-Making it seemed to be a gray-hair-making challenge, but trust in universal rightness and other stupendousness has "shtepped up to the er plate" once again! Yes. Yes indeed.

With this most great and good of news comes announcements of other splendor. My excellent and old pal Ashleigh is getting married in July on Catalina Island- !!!!!!!!!! I know you all wish she and Jeff the best. Of course her first and only choice for all wedding-related printed matter was yours truly! All the time I've spent working here in Milwaukee at the legendary BROADWAY PAPER (191 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI) has really paid off- I will see to it that she has the most fanciest, amazingest, classiest, location-appropriate, beautiful, original wedding paper goods to be seen since people started getting married. Who knew wedding work could be so much fun?!?

For those of you that don't know her, Ashleigh has exquisite taste, plus she's really wonderful. That's why it's so fun to work with her. For those of you who don't know me, I speak truth about this kind of stuff. Anyhow, hopefully at some point in the not-too-distant-future, custom AlanaBaileyBrand wedding books will be available for the masses at your nearest fine stationery store.

Also, there are some holiday cards in the works. Hooray for uniquity!

WOW

Oh, Dear, Sweet Milwaukee,

I'm so sorry it didn't work out for us. Please- It's nothing personal. I think you're really great- You have so much to offer the right person... We're just not meant to be- at least right now. I hope we can stay friends, you know? But throwing all this shit at me on my way out, I gotta say... it's just a bad way to end it.

Please keep your crazy landlord-wife people to yourself. Also, it would be really helpful if you could do what you can to keep the buses running on time... Just for the next 2 weeks, is all I ask. And if you could just create a debris-free path running in front of my bike, that would be great too. Don't get too cold yet- even though I found my long johns, keeping track of my gloves has been harder than usual, considering the circumstances. If you could orchestrate some kind of grant... within the next week or so.... I know that one's a stretch, but I thought I'd just throw it out there.

Anyhow, Milwaukee... like I said, I really do adore you. Let's just keep the drama to a dull roar, and we can be friends in the future.

Love,
AlanaBaileyBrand.

Fun Times

Chicagobound! also-art show.

Well, the summer in Milwaukee was lots of fun. Many evenings spent in Chicago, other evenings spent cooking food for eager eaters, even some spent exhaustingly trying to reason with Rickun.

There's a shop here that I helped build, but turns out Rickun's a douche and I'm coming home. So is Poppy, and AlanaBaileyBrand. Watch out. The calendars are taking metamucil. Sorry for the lapse, people!

Oh, also, I'm in a show in Milwaukee. It's called ART RIOT. It's way the fuck away on vuh-leet street (vliet. 5900 suckas)

Steve's coming! Jay has stuff up too! And I encroached upon someone's art-hanging area, but it was approved by the all-mighty "todd". So that's ok. I'm gonna apologize when we meet.
