It’s hot as hell outside. The trash smells worse… like hot trash.
Jarritos soda is pretty delicious. If you are a Cherokee Street native, you should probably start going to the Mexican grocery stores and buying it, the mango kind.
Anyway, Cranky Yellow has been rearranging and has a few new artists and random fascinating objects.
Here are a few examples:
The shelves are no longer a place dominated by books!
Some nice cards by Ginger Dead. (The second one from the left reads “I love you more than frozen peas and STDs.”)
A belt and a pot holder by Galacticat
A snail puppet and a shirt by Megan.
We have some nice masks by Ryan Frank! And a nice gray critter… who looks slightly confused but is oh-so soft!
My dreadful day was basically brutalized by an atrociously alienating alliteration of dumb depression. Though I’m a sack of silently slithering sadness, you can still stop by Cranky Yellow. You’ll find an awesomely almighty algorithmic assortment of ridiculously rad jingle junk and happy hordes of handmade happenings. Duh.
Daniel, our new part-time designer, quickly made this doll after work yesterday! It is sitting quietly in the CY office waiting to be unleashed on the world. Soon you might see it for sale in the shop… That is if we ever want to get rid of it… but why would we do that?
Hi, I’m Matt, Cranky Yellows new PHP ninja.. er, I mean web developer. I’ll be bringing bad ass features to the Cranky Yellow web site very soon. Features like a new event system. Neat-o!
This is a picture of me and a beer drinking nautilus! This place is crazy!
I walked to work today, as I live merely 5 blocks away. But to my dismay, nothing interesting happened. Usually I get a “Hey girl! Where you finnin’ to go!?” or a “Can I have some change?” But none of that. However, when I got to work, the first thing David did was give me a beer, so I guess that works out okay.
And well, my boyfriend is supposed to be coming here in August, he’s from the Netherlands. However, we are running into some issues. If anyone wants to donate all their money to Cranky Yellow so we can get him over here, feel free to do that. Because he is wonderful and you will all love him.
Also, we’ve been trying to get bands and musicians interested in planning here, so if you are interested contact us with the date that you’d like to play and we’ll check the calendar and go over the details with you.
Pretty complicated, right?
ALSO, I’ve really been digging this website lately -
David was going to show me how to blog, but then he started bleeding and said “I’m bleeding, I’m bleeding, I’ll be right back.”
Now that he is back, we can continue this blog experience.
So today I learned how to post things on etsy.com and flickr.com, though it was a process of trial and error, and I did fail a few times.
When I finally finished, I succeeded in posted such lovely things as:
Oh, BTW, my name is Amanda Beard. I am Cranky Yellow’s newish employee. I am not actually a new employee, I am just being paid now. I take photographs for the store of the merchandise and sometimes of the events. I helped take a lot of the photos for the Crammed Organisms book. I am a photography study at Webster University and will be getting a nice new digital camera sometime during the fall semester, so look out for a great improvement in the quality of photos around that time! Anyway, you’ve probably seen me around, but to put a name to a face, I am on the right in the picture below. That is Casey Jones on the left, this was at Indie Valentine in 2008.
Hey look! We have shirts! We also have a new shirt model! His name is Eddy. He likes shirts. Do you like shirts? We all like shirts:
Fran Lakato’s shirts have the ability to bend time and space. Or…maybe…force you to tilt the camera at odd angles.
Eddy Ohlms, our model, is pointing to the future! The future of Cassette tapes (of which he is a huge fan). Thankfully, Emily Heimeyer’s Wounded Bird collection has provided him with a 100% cotton manner of expressing his love for Salt ‘n Peppah and Terrence Trent Darby.
Okay, so it’s about time I tell you losers (yeah, losers) about the tea party Angelo organized that EVERYONE missed out on. I don’t CARE what your excuse was, you should have been there! What ‘prior commitment’ tops peach tea, banana chips, walnuts, a strange orange vase thingy, Alice in Wonderland/Little Bo Peep/teatime type dresses, my sweetie pie little sister, and Angelo’s hilariously dark Tarot card readings? That’s right…nothing! I think we can all agree that Cranky Yellow’s April 26th, 2009 was better than your April 26th, 2009. Definitely.
Don’t worry, Angelo may decide to pour hot water over dried leaves again some future Sunday afternoon. If you want that to happen, you best be on your crankiest behavior! Make sure to stop by for Crap Glued to Crap and I Feel this Friday and Dali’s Liquid Ladies this Saturday. We won’t tolerate comments like “Two nights of partyin’ in a row is too much!”… Madness is essential for the ideally harmonized cranky soul. Let’s make stuff happen.
