The most epicest of journeys

530 miles, 36 consecutive sleepless hours and a million toots have brought 5 bestest of friends (minus one Mattimal) to the greatest music festival of the summer. The All Points West Festival will either destroy us, or make us fagillionaires. Either way we are all in for one epic weekend. We'll keep you posted. I can't think of anything else to type because my brain hurts to much. Drew says ears and titties.

OMGato!

I'll make this quick... as we are all funny animal lovers, I wanted to share this special friend I met in an ally way in Mexico City. This splendid kitty is shown all natural, and this photo was not edited to give him his sweet facial hair. That sure is a real nice kitty, and he told me that he wants everyone to buy CHOONIMALS!

dude, srsly?

Deer Choons,

As some of you may, or may not have noticed, we have a new family member. His name is Moby Richard. His interests include fish, drinking water and playing the piano. He’s a little self conscious about his weight, so please try not to stare. He will also be 20% off from now until next Thursday, July 30th which is when we will be taking him on his first road trip out to New Jersey for the All Points West Festival. He’s a huge Beastie Boys fan.

Choonimals in Red Planet X

As of today, as in this very moment as in right now, you can head over to Red Planet X and purchase Choonimals at 2843 Olentangy River Rd. in Columbus, Oh. They are the first big retailer in our hometown to carry our swag, and we couldn't be more stoked about it. We spent this morning helping them put together our display, and had a little TV interview (more deets on that to come) so like pretty much we are all going to be famous except Matt and Chris who like to move away from all of their friends to do stuff that's kinda sweet, but not that sweet. Anywho, if you want to know what it looks like to be in one of the raddest stores in town, please see below:

So yes, in case you all were wondering, we do ship internationally. In exchange for sexy pics of course ;)
