I'm sorry to say, the ol' Crooked Spoke Press is down for a month or two to iron out some technical issues. We won't be taking any custom printing orders for a few weeks, although our cards will still be for sale.
Thanks to everyone for all your support. Look to the skies* for updates on our progress, and hopefully we'll be back up and running (I mean treadling) soon.
*By skies, I mean of course this blog.

Colors of Fall Festival
Thanks to those of you who came out to say hello at the Colors of Fall Festival yesterday at Crandall Park in Glens Falls.
It was kind of quiet, sales-wise...but we think that's just a marketing issue. Next time our booth is going to have more signs, pictures of the press, and a full pyrotechnics and laser show.
We had a good time. And I even managed to be part of the entertainment -- and no, that doesn't mean I accidentally fell head-first into a trash can in front of a large crowd. I did a set of music along with a drummer I know, Danielle Furfaro. It was a sedate, craft-fair audience, but I think we managed to play some honest-to-God rock-and-or-roll. Danielle asked if I wanted her to wear a costume -- like a zombie, or a goat, or something like that. "I'm really into extreme costumes and makeup when I perform," she said. I told her I wouldn't mind, but she must have seen my brow furrow. Not that I'm opposed to drummers dressing as goats. But because I run a business I have to worry about scaring customers away.
Anyway, she settled on a T-shirt and jeans, which was too bad. I was secretly hoping for a zombie.
