Just checking in, since things have been radio silent for a bit. It's only been a week, but, anyone who knows me, knows that's a long time for me to be quiet. I'm like a toddler - if you don't hear anything, for too long, that silence is a little bit suspicious.
I am dealing with a few cascading real life issues right now. Probably the most pressing one of them, I'm trying to find housing before my lease runs out. Out of caution, I'm moving most of my belongings to a secondary location, which is taking a lot of my time. We have a fairly promising lead right now, but I'm not going to get my hopes up too high.
This is taking up a lot of my time. I'm not getting as much done as I'd like to, but, rest assured, things are happening with GAP.
I'm currently taking a break from packing things up. After that, I'm going to be working on vectors, and setting up the pledge manager + preorder store until I pass out. It's a matter of pantone matching dozens of pins and getting them ready to go to the factory.
Unless something seriously changes (for better or for worse), we are still planning on surveys + preorder store going live on November 5th.
BIRD CRIMES UK orders are almost ready to go out, I am waiting on some packaging supplies to arrive. I will try to get my dining table clear enough to sit down and send those ASAP.
If you want to help with the move, and associated costs: wait for surveys!
You will be doing me a huge favor long-term by supporting GOLDEN AGE PARROTS, more than anything. I would like to rebuild KEN'S PIN HUSTLE's retail stock to a point I can make a hundred or two a week on sales, and get the business to pay rent.
If you already have everything you want on your pledge, you can go to KEN'S PIN HUSTLE - the whole store is 20% off until the end of the month, to clear shit out and lighten my load. Just keep in mind shipping might be a little unpredictable.
