A year ago, JAAAHWS was in its infancy stage, and between the daily grind and inadequate sleep and weekends it seemed all time was consumed by making and packaging and shipping these huge plastic fangs that have now found homes in various parts of the world from Glasgow, Scotland to Sao Paolo, Brazil. Last year also marked our participation in such events as the “Halloween Family Fun Festival” at The Arboretum where hundreds of adults and children had a chance to “FEED THE MASSIVE AND EVER-MUTATING FLYTRAP-WITH-FANGS THING“. Seeds were also sown @ Comic-Con where a group of us rebelled against thousands of unbathed dungeon masters and their troll minions, trudging across miles of nerdy Warcraft bliss. Even so, to our delight and astonishment it became apparent, slowly yet without a doubt we were getting noticed. The smiles, the laughter, the friendly comments, and gentle nods of recognition toward these huge plastic fangs have been nutritious to our growth, and every week you – our supporters – sent in funny stories/ideas and photos which we had time to research, post, or otherwise scrap. Nevertheless, it’s been busy just as it is today, but more important is that it’s still fun.
So in recognition and celebration of the good times, new things learned, and the friends we’ve kept, made, and bitten off during our growth, and heck, while we’re in that loving mood of Valentine’s Day, we’re marking the prices down 20% just to say thank you and we love you.
Of course JAAAHWS wouldn’t be here today if not for the generous support, inspiration, and friendship of many people. Special shouts out to Rick Baker, Kazu Tsuji, Austin Perkins, simfonik, Paige, Christa, Nala, Toy Break, Creature Features, Jurgen Heimann, Mikey, Mom and Pop, Mo, Dr. Nakamura, roastbeef, My Blurry Slow Ride, Eddie Yang, Alton Ellis, David Gwennap, and Lance Willis.
Look out for more fun stuff this 2009! Peace & loveism.
