2011 Holiday Season

Hooray we finally obtained our factory space! The fabulous new space is right next door so I will be able to work hard and keep the store open simultaneously. We begin moving our presses and sewing machines, welding units, anvil, work tables etc. Monday. I can hardly wait! I have revised some of the web work and will do even more, check out the links to the right-> We finally got that projector in the store so movie nights and video games are go.

I want to begin a monthly letter and will be placing "Subscribe" buttons here and there. You can find the first one toward the bottom of the sidebar over there. Please sign up I promise no hassling will occur. After we set up the Factory new products will flood out -Shoes, Bags, Wallets, Noisy Units, Shirts, Toaster Ovens... wait no ovens. Any hoo some of you will be super excited to be informed of fresh new VEGAN goodies. We also want to start offering special discounts to subscribers, locals, and hagglers.

I will be going in for supremely major surgery Nov 16th so expect some closures and delays. I am however lucky enough to be the very person to undergo major head cloning implant. Well that may be news, I don't know. If you want to know more please click "The Situation" above and to the right. Good news- they will Not have to use my other leg like last time so yay! Maybe I will snowboard again some day?

Till the 16th I'm working my ass off to fill web orders and get the Factory up and running. I will be in the store quite often till then and I look forward to social calls so come on by.

Bike Chair Love

Pretty special footage I snagged of real life Portland Bike Culture. I love it cause it shows the essence of Stumptown in 14 easy seconds. Please feel free to share it however you like.

Leaving reviews on sites like the above Yelp and the Googles are very helpful. Leave a tag to the website http://m3house.org if you interested in showing support another way. We still have one intern position to fill come to the store ready to work and have some belt fun.

I have been experimenting with streaming live video from the shop cause its almost non-stop adventure and fun, peril and certainly shenanigans aplenty. Always on the lookout for un-upcycled "waste" like bits from the rainbarrelman's barrels that are now lovely new belt buckles.

Tuesday is the official HELD Vegan Music Day. Come in and jam out with the drums, guitar, bass, mic, drum machine, sequencer, foot stomping, handclapping, electro-jizzelle-flapper good time happy-making. Last Tuesday Rusty brought a whole recording studio and it was so much fun; I didn't make it to the emergency room but it was way more fun.
On the oncology front I am sick and fucking tired of having only half a face. My mind is rapidly deteriorating and recovery seems to be taking more energy than I have; I thought I could ride my bike to work but it wears me out. I'm really enjoying creating the new designs everyday and my friends pop into the scene and before I know it I'm not thinking about cancer at all! Come check out the rad new stuff I just started using the coolest new brass snaps and stuff.

HELD Vegan Video

Okay we got a camera so I'm going to figure out how to stream some video here from the finest Belt factory ever. We'll be having all sorts of special guests and all types of music going on. I'm a performance artist so I love LOVE love to put on a show.

I suggest grabbing the video player and putting it on your desktop and just letting it run whether people are on it or not cause something is bound to happen that just might surprise you. I'll try to get the player to work here but go to the link below and see all the options on there.
