Oops I did it again!
8th May, 09
With less than week to go before the National Stationery Show, I’ve been working double time to make sure all my samples of new products are ready. Rental cars need to be booked, lighting ordered, shipping sorted out… it’s been non stop madness the last few days!
I swear I wasn’t looking for a distraction. I promise I was focused on work! But then I came across an ad for a Gocco printing machine for sale in my area…
Squee! I can’t believe my luck when I found this little machine! It’s in mint condition with supplies and everything for a great price. Letting this slip through my fingers would’ve been a crime and I wouldn’t want to make little baby Jesus cry. So I dropped everything I was doing, hopped in the car and drove an hour outside the city to pick it up.
I’ve been looking to join the Gocco cult for a while now. I know I know supplies are scarce but I couldn’t resist. Now I’ll be like the rest of the Gocco cult members, hunting and hording supplies.
Which reminds me - If anyone knows where I might be able to get Gocco supplies in Canada. PLEASE let me know 
This seems to happen to me a lot. Right around crunch time something distracts me and I have to answer to it. I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Timing could be better but not a bad thing at all.
Check out this hilarious video shot in the late 70’s about how to use the Gocco. It’s just like those educational videos I watched in school with the porn-esque music and everything. After I saw this video, I knew I had to have one! I’ve admired the stuff people have made with Gocco for a long time now. And it looks like so much fun to use!
So now I can’t think of anything else except for what to print with my new toy. Do I seriously have time to whip up a new product for the Stationery Show? Really?? Or should I be good and put it aside to play with when I get back from New York.
Powers… are… strong… can’t… resist… help… meeeeeeeeeeeee…
