So, we have been quietly open for a couple days now in San Francisco and the response has been amazing. Everything I had learned from Mister Roger's Neighborhood about etiquette has finally come into play as we are making new friends left and right, and even some homeless friends too. We don't care what you smell like, we only care about fun and friendship.
Well, tomorrow, or today probably (depending on when you read this as it's Friday night and I'm about 11 hours late on this post) marks our "official" grand opening. We have no ribbon to cut, though. No wine bottles to smash. No virgins to sacrifice. Just a quiet little gathering amongst all of us Rainbow-Around-The-Moon friends and family.
And a nice new limited print release and signing. (info below).
Oh, but Big-Hands Cosby will probably show up again HOPEFULLY!
Putting the finishing touches on the Monster Wall.
Anyway, it's late so sorry if this sounds as scattered as Rain Man's matchsticks, but here is all the info for the official opening/signing, etc:)
