Couldn’t believe this letter we received yesterday:

“From: American Indian Movement
To: Pinky, Daisy et al:

The San Francisco chapter of the American Indian Movement (AIM) would like to commend your work for its insightful, innovative, and broad-scoped examination and criticism of current human power structures.

AIM would also like to applaud the Pinky Show for its consistent attention to Indigenous issues and current struggles. We believe that open-minded dialogue and exchange between the empowered European colonial culture and the indigenous and non-human cultures of the world is critical to our common survival.

Yours in struggle,
Mark Anquoe
AIM-West

Wow. AIM is one of those organizations that has been a huge inspiration to us, so it was more than a little weird (but in a fabulous way) to get such a nice letter from them. Still can’t believe it.

Announcement: We’ve closed the Pinky Show store. We did that because right now Bunny and I are working hard to build a permanent studio.

Details: Since we started this project five years ago, we’ve been making all our Pinky Show stuff in a cramped, dimly-lit, unruly mess of old computers, semi-functional audio equipment, tangled cables, crumpled/trampled scripts, etc. etc… arrgh, what a nightmare. Well, finally I had a nervous breakdown (or something like it) and after throwing my “I CAN’T TAKE THIS MESS ANY MORE!!!” mini-tantrum I asked Bunny to shut down the store so that we could have some time to focus on cleaning up. Hopefully in a few weeks we’ll have a less crazy (and depressing) work environment to work in. So that’s what we’re doing at the moment. Well, actually we’re still doing Pinky Show work (that stuff never really stops) but the work-space cleaning/rebuilding is the main reason why the store is closed now.

Oh, by the way, for those of you who were on the verge of ordering a Pinky Show t-shirt or some other item, we apologize for the unexpected wait. We’re planning to open a new Pinky Show store after we have things cleaned up and organized around here - my guess is (I’m not good at guessing timetables)… sometime during September?

The new Pinky Show store will be at:

www.pinkyandbunny.com

We’ll make an announcement here when it’s open. Oh, and it will have some new stuff in it too!

Please take care,
pinky

Pinky finally finished putting the report together, it is available here.

What amazes me is that she took two months to put together a 24-page report whereas it took yours truly only 40 days to design & build A FULLY FUNCTIONAL TIME-TRAVEL MACHINE AND LUGGAGE POD.

Bunny

[ note from Pinky: We'll see if my report lasts longer than a month before it falls apart though. ]

kim: bunny next time since your time-machine is not working any more can you please build it bigger because this one was really cramped inside.

Bunny: We would’ve had more room if somebody didn’t beg me to install a coffee machine in it…

kim: sorry.
