Well we just got a funny email from one of our customers. It brought something to our attention that I hadn't looked at in years. Here's what she writes:

We actually had to check the warehouse to see what she was talking about. And she's right, the text is a bit crooked. But that's on purpose! No one else had ever asked us about it, but it's a valid point.

I also like that she gave us an out--because our name is Crooked Monkey, we're allowed to produce Crooked shirts. But rest assured, if its printed crooked, it's because we meant to, not because we're trying to solidify our brand.

We finally have the audio clip from the Ryan Seacrest show. And we finally made our first Crooked Monkey YouTube video. It took us a little bit of time--we wanted to make sure YouTube was a safe place and that it was here to stay. Next we'll launch a "website." (Just kidding we already have one).

Anyways, Manny from the On Air show with Ryan Seacrest talks about our Thats How I roll t-shirt and our I recycle boys t-shirt. This was aired on April 23rd on Kiss FM in LA. Pretty cool, hunh? Those lucky winners got free Crooked Monkey t-shirts. We'll be coming out with a bunch of new YouTube videos this summer. Kind of funny that it took us 3 years until we uploaded our first video.

Here's a beautiful note that a customer received after she sent her friend a Crooked monkey t-shirt.

Moral of the story Part I: If you want your friends to love you, buy them Crooked Monkey funny t-shirts.
Moral of the story Part II: If you want a girl to get naked, buy her a Crooked Monkey funny t-shirt.

For the holiday season, we are doing something good for this world. We've linked up with Dosomething.org on a couple of initiatives to help raise money and awareness for their great cause.

First and foremost, 15% of profits from our That's How I roll guys t-shirt will be donated to DoSomething.org. Seventeen magazine wrote us up in their December Holiday gift buying guide--because they love the shirt and they love our charity work.

Second, since Do Something wants you guys to get active, if you text MONKEY to 30644 you’ll get volunteer opportunities sent to your cell 2 times a month. It’s a great way get involved and stay involved. Go on, do it. Text MONKEY to 30644 to get the volunteer opps and make a difference this holiday season.
