We interrupt the previous rant to bring you the latest news flash from the administrator of the Stitch & Bitch Cafe. I’m not certain what motivated the mass e-mailing, because this information has been posted on their own forum since June 22. But still, I know you’re not all checking that forum, so you’re missing the posts by “Hipster” about “big belts” and by “joefrankberg” about “How to earn money”.
I really enjoy that bit right after the header.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sew Fast Sew Easy proudly presents our newest project – the LIVE version of the Stitch & Bitch Cafe. Digital learning workstations in our retail location.
Stop into the cafe to learn to knit, sew or crochet, get your notions or find our when the next Stitch & Bitch nights are. Learn all the basics to knit or crochet or learn to sew a fly zipper or make a pair of low-rise men’s briefs for yourself or your boyfriend.
Thank you so much for the many letters of encouragement and for your continued patronage.
Sincerely,
Gregory Garvin
Vice President
Sew Fast Sew Easy, Inc.
Oh, look. He’s still there. And he’s the vice president!
…’learn to sew a fly zipper or make a pair of low-rise men’s briefs for yourself or your boyfriend…Sincerely,Gregory Garvin…’ maybe the S&B Cafe is really more of a boy’s club and those of us who are not in it don’t quite get the whole scene? (I’m trying to find a rational spin; but, really… who DO they think is interested?)
i bet they just created the position for him, to get him out of the way.
Low-rise men’s briefs? Yeah, Greg. I’ll get right on that.
Gregory needs to learn how to use spell check. Zabet, I second your notion.
Oh, good, I was just about to send this to you. Vice President? I can only guess that the “administration” of SFSE is as corrupt and “good ole boy”-ish as the current American administration.
How do I have this urge to point and laugh?
