Weblog: an Archive of our Newsletters and Sales

Wednesday Again Free Rangers (just barely), It’s starting to feel deliberate. What was that colloquial definition of insanity again, that everybody attributes to Einstein? So here we are at humpday again to the surprise of no-one. The energy out there at street level...

Ya Know Free Rangers, Just about every artist (writer, musician, comedian, creative…) I’ve ever known- no matter how commercially successful- has expressed some version of this sentiment: Regardless of how many people dig your stuff, most of those you wish would...

Wednesday Again Free Rangers, And almost closing time at that. It's not supposed to be the communication schedule, but I’m the editor, and hopefully that guy won't fire me over this repeated slide from week’s dawn to hump day newsletters. There will soon be a serious...

Yup Free Rangers, It’s a FREE vertical Barolo tasting! This one was originally scheduled a few weeks back, a coupla days before some Hallmark holiday, but fell prey to another non-pocalypse. Was supposed to be a snowicane or a sharknado or locusts or something....

Yo La Tengo Free Rangers, But what that it is remains to be seen. Just gotta get up every day, open the window and see what season it is, layer accordingly, and get after it. Will it be a bright warm mid-spring kinda day or are we in for a subtropical snow-icane? Last...

Salutations Free Rangers, First, any local shop area folks want a 55 gallon bourbon barrel (empty) for use in the garden, as grill wood, or for an art/design project, and can pick it up this week? Re: here, say so, and it's yours. Strange days. The space-time...
