The wonderful HVB store was created and opened while I was unable to talk, walk, or even open my eyes I think I was still in the ICU.  My struggle to stay alive over the last year sometimes hinged on the store’s existence; the overwhelming responsibility,  the most amazing people, the sense of duty being called on to save lives of the voiceless. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have made it through the cancer recovery without that store. I look at the space now a year later and am embarrassed by the enormity of it, half of the space I don’t even use. It was a very painful year having so much of my leg and skull removed, swapping parts, the pains seems only to have lessened a little. Talking with people in HVB really reduced the pain, discomfort, and sorrow. I hope enough people come into the new location when I need them. Still waiting for that cloned part of my face to be ready for the final surgery but I’m done with the agonizing melancholy bit. This has also been a very rad year with fun- just varieties of fun I didn’t know existed. I thought the way of living I was accustomed was the only way and anything else would be dreadful I was half wrong. Having a deformed face is still a very sad thing but only because of how some people react and man I wish others had no eyes sometimes.

As soon as I knew I was moving my creativity flared and I designed a bunch of new things and feel more relaxed. I’m exited cause now I should be able to hire another helper and be able to pay attention to designing new things and improving on others. I’ll have less commute time and I look so forward to that. I love riding my bike but I just don’t have that capacity yet. Melinda and I have a refuge of a comfy quiet home in 5q Saint Johns where the new location for the store is. Three ideal spaces now it is up to the slum lord, come on ladies be cool now. The new store will be great fun and I hope it stays open longer than a year.

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.

Entire slew of fine characters and so idea springs forth out from the gaping hole. Soon more custom type stuff I’ll show you later. For now look how perfect this person fits the purse I made, wow. Sales are fine but I might need more volunteer help making them.

Speaking of help I finally made a “Donation” button on the m3house website after being told to do it enough. So please if you can give a couple bucks that’s how.

Extraordinary amount of pain right now I don’t know why. I’m healing still and my nerves are finding there way home and I’m on four kinds of opiates and still hurts like fuck! When people are talking about interesting things it goes away. I’ve implemented a few strategies that help but I can’t do them all the time. I’ve been working on several new cool belt designs and making the “Save Micah Perry” cause on Facebook work. They are saying its a Dental issue so I have to cough up $18,000.00 after Insurance. I’m a little spazzed come visit that always helps.

donate at M3house.org Thank you.

We’re looking into opening a store this November maybe earlier. Our favorite places to consider but it depends largely on what we find, availability.  It has to be big enough to set up part of the workshop in. I think it would be nifty if we could have a work/hangout/shop/have tea/plan kind of joint. So NE Alberta is the sweet spot where our old place was, we loved that area. The other cool option for us would be SE 12th Vegan Avenue… duh. So if you see something we don’t know about give me jingle-jangle-beep-beep.

I was telling a friend a couple days ago about how we want to have drop boxes to recycle belts and she said it would be cool if we could put a box in her store with an acrylic/plexi-glass clear front so people could see what was going on… cool idea. Anybody have some scraps they want to sell? Who wants a box? We’ll come scoop em up on occasion and go recycle the hell out of them!

Ok have fun. Back to work.
