Weblog: an Archive of our Newsletters and Sales

Hey Free Rangers, When wholly awash in the streams of story, one can be deeply tempted to not bother reaching out for a hold. It’s nice in there; somehow comfortably cool and wholesomely warm at the same time. But open duties at the shop today became impetus enough...

Well Free Rangers, According to the calendar, today is our 11th Anniversary. I mean it’s not right now, as I type this at my office (French Louie) in the waning brunching hour (nor now while editing in the night), but it is right now as you’re reading this, very...

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...

Whoa Free Rangers, Oh the tales could be spun had more REM cycles occurred to this weary cranium, and fewer gremlins were in fevered pursuit on this trail. While Derek’s heroic efforts to keep this unruly beast tuned to a single metronome have been noteworthy, this...

Hello Free Rangers, Bit of housekeeping this week. Which is fine, as the paragraph that was previously accreting for this space sucks. So, we have two separate systems here at Free Range: the online system for the website and the in-store POS (Point of Sale, for those...
