Never Cry Wolf

We’re happy to introduce a brand new Ltd Edishhh colourway of our Wolfgang Baseball tee! This full 5 colour tee is available until quantities last! There’s not a huge amount so these will probably run out FAST.

To celebrate the launch of these babies, we’re offering them for only $20 (regular $28)!!!

Get yours before it’s going, going……. GONE!

Each and every one of our designs end up evolving to some degree from the original drawing. Together we decide to modify add and/or omit certain elements. Here was the original other half of our Boom Boom pug t-shirt:

We both agreed that the poor legless Boston Terrier was a bit too sad (although funny as hell).

We were going to save BT for another design but she never came into play. Instead she went on to star with J Lo in the latest RomCom of 2010, The Back-Up Plan:

We called to congratulate her but she was all, “talk to my publicist”. Sigh!

Just wanted to share our first psuedo experience and some thoughts on Johnny Cupcakes.

We have been long time followers of the Johnny Cupcakes brand. We really respect the ideas and the ideology behind the brand and would definitely say he is a big inspiration to all small business folks. As with any field of business, it’s important to look at the top players and try to learn a bit about what they do to make & keep themselves successful.

Anyway, yesterday was their Houston stop of a suitcase tour he is doing across the country. Lots of young hipster ppl lined up in the streets. I recruited my boyfriend who lives in Houston to check it out for himself (while I would live vicariously through him). So with that said, here is our pseudo experience of the Johnny Cupcakes brand and Johnny Cupcakes himself!

Upon arrival a little before 8pm there was already a huge line up of people waiting to see/meet/buy J. Cupcakes! Seeing the van and everything was pretty exciting.

Johnny Cupcakes Van

Not really sure how they meant to set it up but after about an hour of waiting, the line had not moved.

Some people got a little restless and left, but most were still there and there was still a huge line. After about an hour and a half of waiting in the line, I was thinking Wow this is insane! It reminded me of going to clubs back in the day (lol..we had to do it at least once)  how they made people wait outside to get in so a huge line builds up, and once you get in you realize the club is empty.

still waiting .. no movement

After 2 hours it was quitting time. During that time, the line never really moved – the only reason it did because people were leaving – kind of an anti-climactic ending to an exciting beginning.

quitting time

We’re not really sure what the point of making people wait that long was. Maybe he was spending quality time with each and every one of his customers, but as sweet as a cupcake should be, this experience kind of left a salty taste in our mouths.

With that said, being a successful business man/celebrity, he seemed like a nice guy!

azn sensation.. Johnny Cupcakes!! jk

The end.

We just ended a very hard week! We started off the week with a very exciting prospect of seeing one of our shirts on a new NBC show only to find out a day later – after scrambling, and signing a release – that it wasn’t our shirt (it just had the same name)! Let’s just take a moment to laugh at that. Now let’s all sigh in unison.

That was the first thing. Then we paid for this extremely expensive week-long ad only to find out a few hours later that our site was going down periodically. We dealt with it for a day but then realized that it was happening more frequently for longer periods of time so we had to put a halt to that immediately. After a long struggle, working late into the evening & on the weekend, backing up files, downloading, uploading, and more, we have finally seem to get it fixed, stable, and up and running again! Hooray. We are always half amazed and half in shock that we, who have barely any computer/web experience, can pull of such feats.

There were some other mishaps that happened during the week but we don’t need to dwell on the past. Onto better things, we are having an Spring sale through April 11th.

YAY!

Let the good times roll!

The smell of spring is in the air! Finally! We are so over the cold blahness of winter. The warm and sunny weather definitely helps get our spirits up. We were thinking at the gym today about blogging more often, and making our blog more personal rather than just Crywolf related…with that said, since we are Crywolf it will still be Crywolf related (haha)!

For the past year, we have been under a pretty rigorous workout routine, consisting of the following:

Monday – Bootcamp class
Tuesday – Cardio (Eliptical + Interval Biking)
Wednesday – Weights
Thursday – Ball class
Friday – Hot Yoga (just for the last 4 weeks)
Sunday – Hot Yoga

We will miss a day here and there but it’s been pretty consistent! We each did a 2 min self portrait of what we think about at the gym during 30 second hardcore interval biking.

Here are some personal thoughts on working out & getting in shape for the summer, that we have gathered through our experiences:

- change your workout routine so your body doesn’t get used to the same workout
- interval training (30 sec fast as you can, 30 second resting pace) helps workout your heart and lungs and will help continue burning calories after you are done (we go for 10 minutes), whereas straight cardio mainly burns calories while you are doing it.
- hot yoga makes you sweat all over (even your ears), but you feel great after
- do planks! nothing compares to planks, and if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands, planks are a great way to work out multiple body parts at once, and you do it for as long as you can (which is probably about 2-3 minutes max). Front Plank on Youtube Hope that helps you guys out!

Healthy body = healthy mind!

crywolf

Yesterday I received a very excited text from my cousin saying that she saw one of our shirts on an MTV commercial. At first I thought, no way, but they have one of those awesome TiVO devices and she said she recorded and rewinded it a bunch of times and was POSITIVE it was Hipster Werewolf.

She wasn’t mistaken! With minimal searching I was able to find the commercial on the magical interwebs. It’s for a contest for the Buried Life from MTV & Harveys. Check it out here while it’s still up.

Hipster Werewolf is available for casting calls and/or birthday parties.

Greetings!

After much testing, retesting, editing, modifying, uploading, and more…Spring has finally arrived in Crywolf. We have been hard at work coming up with new designs and new products for our Spring 2010 line. This is our first launch of the new year and there will be many more goodies to follow.

We are introducing a bunch of new characters that will be here to stay. Meet Chloe & Wolfe.

They are the Crywolf  mascots. They travel far and wide and like to play games. They live in the Woodlands and have many animal friends, which you will meet along the way.

Here is the infamous Wolfgang trio – Noah, Wally, and Cole.

They’re always up to some kind of mischief. You’ll be seeing more of them very soon!

There will be more goodies coming in very shortly, so come back soon.

That’s it for now, until next time…

Hey peeps! A couple updates…

First things first! As we are all aware, much help is needed in Haiti following the devastating earthquake that has caused devastating destruction. We wanted to contribute in some way to the relief efforts put forth by the Red Cross to supply emergency aid to Haiti. Right now 10% of all sales made on our site will be donated to The Red Cross in support of their humanitarian, recovery and reconstruction efforts (with all donations being matched by the Canadian gov’t).

We made our first donation on the weekend and want to thank all of you for your orders and for your support! We’re no John Travoltas who are able to fly our own commercial plane stuffed with supplies (and scientology ministers?!?!) straight to Haiti, but we will do what we can with what we’ve got.

Secondly, today we released our first design of 2010, a Limited Edition Valentine’s day tee! It features some brand new characters; Chloe and Wolfe, young and in lurrrrve:

Cute, right? This shirt will be available until Feb 14th so grab it while you can!

CLICK to see/buy!

With love,

We just wanted to take a minute to thank you, our dear fans, for another amazing year. Our best yet! We had the pleasure of meeting and making a lot of new customers/friends/fans and are so grateful for your support because, well, not to sound all cliche and everything BUT you are what make Crywolf possible! For real.

The holidays are over but instead of being down about it, we’re excited for the new year and busy conjuring up some new 2010 designs which will be released sometime in February. At that point most of the 2009 designs will be discontinued, so you might want to grab some designs that you’ve been coveting before the last printings get sold off!

We have some exciting plans for new 2010 products that you probably won’t be able to live without… but you’ll just have to wait and see what they are!

It’s cold out there, so stay warm. It’s going to be a good year.
