I CAN'T SPELL...
This is the theme of this weeks friggin newsletter. After last weeks debacle, I used the word "WRITE" twice to mean "RIGHT". As I re-read the newsletter that was sent to thousands of people, I just cringed and thought "My goodness......I'm an idiot." And a good part of you are guilty of the same crime. Lots of people wrote me saying "CONGRADULATIONS ON THE BABY." I'd say at least 25% spelled it incorrectly instead of the proper congratulations that was intended. Whatever, it's no big deal. I guess I'm just trying to justify my own stupidity.

As a result, I've decided to do the following:
I. For the next week(until, the next newsletter) all orders are 15% off. All you have to do is call and say "I'm calling for the MIKE PARK CAN'T SPELL DEAL DISCOUNT." I'm serious. (408)395-0662 Remember, we only have one phone line, so if you get a busy signal, please please please call back. We are pretty ghetto in the phone department.

Finally.....In my garage sits 16 boxes of Five Iron Frenzy T-shirts from their last tour ever. They have been sitting in their trombone players garage for over two years. Since the band broke up, they had no motivation in getting rid of these, but somehow they've ended up in my hands. All shirts are just $8 and should be up on the asian man site now. These will never be re-ordered and the sizes are random, so check and see what we have and get your rare shirts while you can.

By the way, I hate people who drive big trucks and blast hip hop at deafening levels.
Be well.
Peace always,
Mike Park
