BOOK SIGNING AT BORDERS
Holy hell. The book is here.
I got a copy in the mail from Random House and I have to say, I think it looks great. There are over 50 sellers featured, and there’s a comprehensive, indexed seller’s guide in the back of the book so you can find them.
The art inside the book is done by Etsy artists, and it’s fantastic. There are 7 or 8 full-bleed pages of chapter artwork, done by such Regretsy greats as Chickenpants and the fantastic Denny “Say What” Pinkham.
And now it’s confirmed: I’m going to be reading from the book and signing your copies on April 6th at Borders in Glendale! It’s amazing, isn’t it? I’m reading out loud and writing my name, just like normal people!
So I’d like to invite anyone featured in the book to come down to Borders on April 6th at 7:00 PM and sign books with me! And if you’ve been featured on Regretsy and want to come down, I would love to see you. Bring your business cards and we’ll leave them on the table so everyone can grab them.
Yes, it’s all terribly exciting. But here’s where it gets really good.
The first 50 people to get their book signed will get a free embroidered panty liner bookmark by HiBird, maker of the now world famous embroidered toilet paper.
You’re not going to get that kind of action from Jackie Collins!

EBAY AUCTION ENDS TOMORROW
As you know, we’re auctioning off a gorgeous handmade designer Regretsy bag on Ebay. The bag comes with a collection of handmade purse charms by Regretsy artists, and it’s filled with amazing things like jewelry, toys, beauty products and an autographed copy of the Regretsy book.
The proceeds from the auction will benefit Elayne Boosler’s Tails of Joy (that’s Elayne modeling the bag).
The auction ends tomorrow, and I’m really excited about how well we’re doing with it. Between the money that we’ve already raised from Zazzle, and the bids on the bag, we’re going to exceed $1000, which is a really impressive contribution to a great cause.
If you want to bid on the bag, there’s still time. If it’s already more than you want to spend, watch it close with us tomorrow and see how high it goes!
And finally . . .
You know, we get a lot of feedback over here.
Between Facebook and Twitter and your comments and emails, we hear plenty out of you people. And surprisingly, very little of it is irritating.
But there are two things we can count on hearing every day.
First, we’ll get at least three emails about the “Rear Gear” stickers you’re supposed to put over your dog’s ass. That never gets old.
And second, someone will tell us a post “doesn’t belong on Regretsy.” It’s not quite as fun as the picture of the girl posing next to a dog’s asshole, but it’s really close.
So close in fact, that Bronc made us some “This doesn’t belong on Regretsy” merchandise for your shopping pleasure!
This doesn’t belong on Regretsy Magnet
This doesn’t belong on Regretsy Mousepad
This doesn’t belong on Regretsy T-Shirt
This doesn’t belong on Regretsy Mug
So go on! Buy yourself a handsome This doesn’t belong on Regretsy T-shirt on Zazzle today! And when you get it in the mail, put it on and take a picture of you wearing it, giving a thumbs up and smiling next to your dog’s asshole.
The first person to send me a picture like that will get an autographed copy of the Regretsy book and a picture of my dog’s ass.
As always, all proceeds from Zazzle merchandise go into the Regretsy Alchemy Fund. The fund is used to support various charities, and in some cases, benefit Etsy sellers in need.
