Live From Dosha




While you’re out enjoying the park on this lovely day I’m hiding out from any sort of social life. My wife is treating me to a pedicure but not the everyday type today we’re having the “Caribbean” treatment at Dosha which to me means extra rad foot and leg massage. Last time we did this a YouTube video was an added result.
I’m pretty sure the store will survive year one in September so I went ahead and bought the website HELDVeganBelts.com I’m very excited about it. I’m confident combined with the new physical catalog due this fall HVB will not only survive but become a major contribution to Animal Rights funding. I hope and that is my goal anyway. I don’t know if we can make money with it but we can show videos with the projector we’ll be getting soon. Yay! The same person is donating another flat panel monitor too so we can show videos in daylight. Submit movies and movie ideas and I’ll put it to work. Wow that tickles and hurts my foot at the same time! Thank you Melinda.
After this we’ll be heading into see my surgeon for an emergency visit and possible bit of surgery on my deformed face. I won’t describe it here cause it is not much fun at all. Had to miss work yesterday cause the pain was just too much. The three of us rolled around on the couch-raft all day watching movies and eating vegan junk food. I have missed too much time with my son from the cancer so it was alright to spend the day like that.
We are on a new accounts drive to sell HVB so tell your friends about our fabulous new page where we will take wholesale orders. We also have amazing new belts available on the website so go buy one of those. These are the world’s strongest and most sustainable belts ever any other belt is hereby proclaimed to be a fake. If you don’t believe me take one for a test spin they are guaranteed forever! Okay time for leg massage see you later.

I Should Be Asleep

I blew it on the bike so I’m forced to mellow out. I really can’t tell how injuriously effected I am cause all the cutting is beneath the skin and the pain meds mask really well. Leave a comment so I know someone’s paying attention and go to the FB thing and be my Fren: Micah on the FB. Oh and the store page is at http://Facebook.com/HELDVeganBelts please click whether or not you like it.
If you are disfunctional enough to subscribe to my YouTube situation then you can experience the fine film to accompany this great photo. The store is so much fun you have to come check it out. OK now I can sleep.

Success? Thanks Verily tø You

We are so happy over here at HVB to announce we have established the supply of our very favorite Conveyor Belt Scraps! Its a damn miracle. (Now just let me get this out of the way real quick like. I was about to exclaim in big from wormseye perspective and what wot… “yahoo!” But no I fucking can-not thanks to the assholes over at you know who idiots went and erased a word from our cultural lexicon. OK tirade over but damn that ain’t too cool)
Sorry about that I’m very thrilled cause this means we can open it up- consistent supply means we can now have a catalogue to put on your davenport! We have to pay for the supply now but we made a deal after three years of negotiations. We still get the garbage before it hits the dump but now they will cut some of it and we get a wider selection thanks to our legitimacy. The company we get the scraps from just bought another much smaller company and they are going to donate some of the bits and pieces that are redundant to us! Kinda scary getting this close to a big corporation feels like I’m looking out a lower deck porthole of a huge pirate ship. Shh….
We now have Electric Guitars as well. Please if you know how to use one come plug in and fire it up! I got all the proper bits and pieces to Jack them into our local HELD Vegan Sound System we love fun time jammy-jam! Bangeth Thy Head
We still need consistent intern/volunteer positions filled so if you have some days or a certain day you can donate it would be great. All proceeds from HVB go directly back into AR local and national. I’m not done shaking off the cancer there’s more surgery fun to come after recovering from this one. I’ll draw up a schedule on the whiteboard we can finally use that more than a little bit.
Again we need to get the catalog together to start getting some real outreach going cause man we have to get this out there. Two reasons primarily:
A) replace the “need” for and extinguish use of bad materials like leather and fake leather that cracks and splits.
B) Show people they can live the vegan lifestyle without giving up this basic component so psychologically important.
Those who can’t donate regularly just come in when you can and get busy, crank up the tunes grab an exactly some sticky-vinyl by the back door sit at the white table and get crackin’. Or you know ask someone what to dü.
