Here’s the deal, I have spent the last two years trying to stay afloat. First year in business is destined to be rough but holy cow man, 2 years of this pandemic rollercoaster got me into survival mode and I got pretty lost. Who the fuck cares about some words I write on the screen when the world is on fire and melting at the same time. What a crazy time to exist.

Anyway It seams a good a time as any to close these ramblings down. This year we will be transitioning Make Town into a fully fledged membership programme with open studio access, member only videos and tutorials, information sharing and of course more fun than you can shake a stick at. It will hopefully bring the community closer together so the focus can be on those already committed to putting in the effort and supporting those on their journey and less time spent on admin, making bullshit content and playing the TikTok game trying to steal attention of screen gazers to get bums on seats.

I am not good at it, I don’t enjoy it and is the polar opposite of what MT is all about, so just stick to what ya know and love aye?

So these ramblings, which I actually quite enjoy smashing out (but has no financial return – so it always gets lost at the bottom of the list of things to do) will be moved into our secret dashboard for members. Don’t worry there will be a pay scale and it will be cheap as chips if you wanna keep in with the gang. But for now so long……..

It also means that the shop stock is all gotta go – So lock in the 6th of Feb because our Waitangi Day sale is gonna be filled with crazy cheap stock with prices slashed to clean up shop – literally.

So soz about my lack of ‘blogging’ this year – seams like the world fell in love with a new kind of entertainment. Congratulations Tiktok and Youtube must be nice hanging out with Facebook and Jeff AUE!

For anyone else at the end of this who also feels disengaged with online content and wanna get all up in each others covid faces then come join us on our next adventure out of doom wormhole scrolling and into hands on creative bliss. You won’t regret it!
