TWITTER ME THIS, BATMAN...
As you may have noticed, not only is the right half of our website now showing up, but it brought back a very slick Twitter box with it! Now you don't have to waste countless seconds clicking over to Twitter.com to read our nonsensical blurbs. With all that time now freed up, you could see how many endangered animals you can eat in an hour, or tweeze your unibrow, or make a cardboard box fort, or run for president, or darn your socks, or darn my socks, or alphabetize your pog collection. The possibilities are now endless.
You're very welcome.

SOON YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
Man, wouldn't it be awesome if we could cram sneaker culture, music, streetwear, video games, movies, graffiti, sports, random cool shit, hilarious youtube videos, and art, all into one website? You'd visit that magical site everyday, AND name your first born child after it.
Well, you can forget all those baby names you had picked out, because such a website does in fact exist.
Soonyoullunderstand.com is my new favourite website, and no, not because they just put up a VERY flattering article about Pause. (But it didn't hurt) But rather because they post things that are actually interesting to read about, and cause me to spend hours going through it all. It keeps me away from doing any sort of actual work, and really, that's what the Internet is all about.
Check out the website

HOLY SHIT!
So I'm sitting in my computer chair, updating some things on the website, when all of the sudden this pack of extremely wild teenage pirate ninjas kick in my door! They're angry as hell, and they're smashing everything in sight. I don't even bother asking questions, I just get right down to kicking ass and taking names. I get through about 60 of them without breaking a sweat, when the largest one, which I assume was their leader, demands I hand over the website! I take the last bite of my bagel (which I was munching on the entire time I was kicking ass), and coolly say "Come get some." So I grab the computer, and proceed to front flip over him and out the door. Now I'm speeding down the road on my wolf (I don't drive a car, I ride a wolf.) and there's helicopters, motorcycles, t-rexs, etc. hot on my tail. I've got the website files between my teeth (because I needed my hands to finish off the guitar solo I was playing at that time) and all of the sudden I sneeze! Causing a little chunk of the website files to fly out and into the hands of one of the thugs. Unfortunately I hadn't slept in two years, so I was a little off my game, and they ended up getting away with our new product pictures on the right!
So that's why the right side of the website is blank.
That, or a tried adding a picture and ended up ruining all the html coding over there...

NEW ARTWORK
Do you see that Gallery button up there? Why don't you go ahead and give it a click. (Actually, wait until you're done reading this, then do it.) You might be pleased to find a shiny new gallery chock full of sticky Pausey goodness staring back at you. We've packed it full of exciting new sketches and illustrations, and took all the embarrassing old jepgs out back and shot them. Also, I've purchased a cattle prod, and have been shocking Ken with it every time he tries to stop drawing. So expect this new gallery to be updated far more frequently.
(Okay, go ahead.)

FREE PAUSE TOTE BAGS?! YOU GOT IT!
I know you don't need yet another reason to go to the Toronto Clothing Show this September, but screw it, here's another:
Every year the Clothing Show gives away thousands of reusable tote bags to everyone that attends. The tote bags have a design printed on them by some well established artist, and are stuffed with all kinds of free product samples. Well, this year the Clothing Show called us up, in a tear filled panic, and straight up BEGGED us to design the bags. (That may or may not be true, I can't remember.) Anyway, of course we wanted to do it, but there was a catch. Just like a overdue payment to the mob, the design had to be finished within 24 hours, or they'd break our thumbs. Now, I'd like to tell you how difficult it was, and how we stayed up all night drinking coffee, crying and having fist fights in order to finish it, but that would be a lie. You see, Ken is a real life action hero, and he kicked out the design with ease in a mere couple hours, like that shit was his job! (It is.)
Needless to say, we're quite excited that they asked us to do it. We're not allowed to reveal the design just yet, so you'll have to settle with this teaser for now. At least you can sleep easy knowing that there is in fact a chubby bird wearing a hat in the design.
