We Are Still Alive.

Friends, countrymen:

1. It's Springtime. None of us want to be inside updating a blog.
2. It's Conference time. Any time any of us do spend inside is spent with nose in book as we each have jumbo-sized papers due in not very much time at all.



But, of course, none of this is at all fair to you, dear reader. We apologize! Sincerely! Profusely! From the bottom of our meek hearts! We are all wracked with shame and guilt. And so I write this to you, a mere promise that as soon as I turn in this odious paper for my literature class, I will devote all my hours to you, internet. I will shower you with flower petals and HTML and photographs of your humble servants begging everyone we see for a vehicle.

In the meantime, why not check out our MySpace page? It's not much more exciting than this blog, though our tentative route plans will be posted in the coming days, along with pictures and links to things we think you'd like. Might I suggest that you pay particular attention to the "Donate Now" button? Donations of more than $15 dollars will be reciprocated with the most intriguing and enigmatic of MYSTERY BOXES! While supplies last, of course.

And! Of course! Huge thanks to everyone who came to our carnival, particularly those who left with tattoos. Everyone's donation of money and time made a huge difference to our morale, but those who left with memories of the day permanently branded into their flesh are the true heroes. We're with you forever now, you know.

Remember, Blog Babies, that we love emails. Suggestions? Comments? Art donations? Philosophical musings? patchworkcaravan@gmail.com, dear!

All the love in the world,

Jane.

P.S. None among our readers has a van or SUV or Jeep or Radio Flyer they're not using this summer, right? If that vehicle is weighing you down, I know one way you can get rid of it...!

Donations, Carnivals, etc.

Good morning, all.

I'm sorry I've been late for the update train every single time it's left blogosphere station, but Spring Break happened and then college kept happening no matter how sternly I pretended it wasn't. But here I am, now, and that's what mattered.

First, I want to thank everyone who came out to our ribbon-cutting ceremony. It was a huge success! I cannot imagine having had more fun or hearing more encouraging things. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Secondly, to those who have donated through our PayPal button: you may have received an email saying that your funds were returned to your account. It's true. I didn't realize that we had to upgrade my personal PayPal account to a business PayPal account (because we're a business now, I guess) and I couldn't do this immediately because I was out of the country during spring break. To those who have sent checks in light of this internet blunder: smart move! To those who have had their money returned who want to un-return it - that is, give it back to us again - our Pay Pall button is officially fixed and we are officially a non-profit business that can receive credit/debit card transactions. So you could try again!

Or you could come to our CARNIVAL!! Doing anything this Sunday? Didn't think so! Why not put on some sunscreen and your favorite hat and mosey on down to the THREE DOLLARS AND WE'LL BLOW YOUR MIND PATCHWORK CARAVAN BENEFIT CARNIVAL. I'm serious - we will blow your mind. Among the activities offered are:
1. Hair-cutting!
2. A scavenger hunt!
3. Prison tattooing!
4. Palm-reading!
5. A date auction!
6. There will probably be cookies!
Can you imagine?! All that for three bucks? The fun starts Sunday, April 13th at 2:00 PM on the Sarah Lawrence College North Lawn. (We'll move into the Tea Haus if the weather is crappy.) So hop on that Metro-North, hop off at Bronxville, follow these directions, and come hang out, will ya?

See you there!
