Hey Jake,

I believe you know about my recent sponsorship deal with Colchester Rubber Co. If not, you can read about it here http://www.docpop.org/2010/03/29/doc-pops-got-sole.html

They are extending their $18.92 sale for one more day and getting rid of the "email us to get a promo code" thing. So until 11:59 pm April 1st you can still buy a pair of shoes for the "Doc Pop discount". I noticed a couple folks commenting that these shoes could be easily modded to fit a steampunk aesthetic, so I thought I'd drop you a line in case you wanted to mention the deal on y'r bloghole. I'll also be donating my proceeds for the shoes sold to a local non-profit.

Hope y'r swell,

"Bloghole" is such a delightful term.

Isn't it though!? I love it!

Is this an April fools joke, or the real deal?

It is the real deal.

We support Internet Annoyance Day through abstinence here at The Steampunk Workshop.

Looks like I'm trading in my green Chuck Taylors....

Uh I know this isn't the right place for this, but I'm not sure where to go on your site for it but I met someone who worked at this shop at Sakura-con and I was hoping I could use this to get in touch with him, his name's Ryan and he said he worked here.
Thanks for your patience. :)

Do you mean The Steampunk Workshop or Colchester Rubber?

I can't help you with the later but The Steampunk Workshop is in Boston and there's no Ryan here.

I must have the wrong site, I was actually looking for a place called Jigsaw Renaissance, and when I googled it, it came up with this site saying "The Steampunk Workshop: Jigsaw Renaissance" so I thought maybe this was it.
Thanks for the help though in clearing up the confusion, my search shall continue!

Oh! I see! I'm a Jigsaw Renaissance member and SPWS has done stories on JR on several occasions.  They website is here: http://www.jigsawrenaissance.org/ I don't know Ryan but I'm sure some one there can help you find him.

I ordered some of these, and was beginning to think that it was around the time I should be expecting to receive them-- the site said three weeks for delivery. Alas, today I found a refund from PayPal-- apparently the shipment of shoes was damaged in transit and so they don't have any available to sell. Very sad, I was very much looking forward to having these!
