The strangeness of it all.

It strange starting a company, especially one where there the product is so expensive. On one hand, I am expecting to get a big check for the first order. On the other hand, I signed up for public assistance today. That's right, food stamps. How are these two things part of my life? how is it that I am seemingly riding high, and asking for handouts? I feel like there are a lot of people, and designers who could be in this place.

After food stamps, three offices in two seperate locations, I went to see Wilsey Wolf over at Greenhouse over on Atlantic. She was super excited to get one and show it. She says that business has been good, and the word has been getting out. So I feel like its a good Brooklyn home for the Constellation.

I went to a thing at DWR last night. It was called Product placement. We saw some interesting work in textiles, and wall coverings. Some times I don't really know how the people presenting get chosen, but they are interesting, and the come from a range of experience and experiences, and I ran into my friend Scully who I have been half heartly working to get in touch with. I am going to apply for the next one, "Sustainable."

Finally, I talked to my Dad for about 30 min today. He's helping with bookkeeping for S1k, and he had a lot of good things to say about dealing with money.

I'm still looking for a job, but S1k is riding high today.
