Greetings, gentle kinksters. It is I, Alex, Monk's Friday-afternoon service dog. (You can't see it, but I'm wearing a little yellow jacket that says 'Please Don't Pet Me, I'm Working.')

This one goes out to all you folks who'll be attending the Boston Fetish Flea this weekend, starry-eyed, heavy-pocketbooked, and looking for a way to make the Twisted Monk crew smile through the haze of their collective post-accident raincloud.

The fantabulous Scott of Big Head Studios has graciously offered to take over the task of selling some of our swag at the Flea. Of course, we've taken him up on his offer; and thus, the Big Head booth will be retailing a selection of our books this weekend. We're asking you all to please stop by, say hi to Scott, thank him for helping us our, and, of course, buy our, and his, swag. Why? Because it's awesome. Books about bondage! BOOKS! About BONDAGE! Tie people up! Hit them! Untie them, and hit them some more! It's ALL HERE!

Thanks for all your words of wisdom, threats of further bodily harm in the event of unwise recuperative behavior ("If you do anything dumb, I'll break yer OTHER collarbone!"), offers of baked goods, wit, humor, and general restorative tomfoolery.

--Alex
