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. To our delight and astonishment, slowly yet without a doubt we were getting noticed and people would shout, “Look honey! Those huge fangs!” The smiles, laughter, friendly comments, and gentle nods of recognition toward these huge plastic fangs have been nutritious to our growth. Every week, YOU – our supporters – sent in funny stories/ideas and photos which we would research and sometimes post… So, it’s been busy as usual, but probably the most important thing is that it’s still fun and that’s what we’ve always been about!

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 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.
