Tradeshows are awesome for a lot of reasons. One of them, is that we get to hang out with our friends we've met at all the shows. It's like a little community.

The girls from Mermaids are a fun pair--we love seeing them at market. They're a constant in our booth and it's always a riot when they sit down to hang out. Check em out in Miramar, FL

We had a great time with Amanda and Kevin at the tradeshow. Looks like Kevin got lucky--his wife, Amanda, took a liking to the mannequin.

Next time you're in Louisville, stop by Belief Clothing to pick up your favorite Crooked Monkey t-shirts and Keep on 'Livin the Dream.

That's Michelle, owner of JoJo's in South Carolina, and her mom. We met them at a tradeshow and are excited to ship them their t-shirts.

If you're in Charleston, you've got to stop by JoJo's to check out the hippest, most fun t-shirts in South Carolina.

When Crooked Monkey needed a masterpiece, they turned to Emily Kahn--a student at Indiana University and employee of Crooked Monkey. Her work was turned into a 10ft poster and used at a tradeshow in Las Vegas. The compliments came pouring in and her stardom was realized overnight.

And, like all fine artists, she drew herself into the picture. She's the one to the left of the monkey, shaking what her mother gave her.

Next time you see her walking on the campus of Indiana, feel free to stop her and say "Wow, you're an amazing artist. And you wear your make-up so well."
