Week in Review:
(February 20 - 24th)

Reading Week: It's that time of the year again when university students get to take a break from their hectic schedules. I wish the Monster Factory had a reading week... we'd probably have to become a university first. While some of them stayed in the city, others took the opportunity to do other fun and exciting things.

So, what did some of our workstudy students get up to? Xandra took off for the sun in California. She spent her week visiting Orange County, home of the O.C and Gwen Stefani. She's a big fan so it only seems appropriate.

Meanwhile, Daniela spent her week visiting her hometown so that she could take care of some dental work. Probably not the most ideal way to spend a week off, but we all know how important taking care of our pearly whites are.

Needless to say, we miss them and look forward to their return.

Production: People often ask us how long it takes to make a monster and it's usually a round about kind of answer. The Spring One of a Kind show begins in four weeks and three days and we need to make a lot of monsters. We'd like to have a nice amount of stock there so we're aiming for 600 monsters. So, the answer to that question is that it takes 4 weeks and 3 days to make 600 monsters...and we're keeping our fingers crossed on that one.

New Monsters: They're on their way and we're really excited. So far, we are anticipating the arrival of two thug-like monsters named Emitt and Stephen, and a few monsters we've taken to calling the "berry bunch". They look like bushes with berries in them...you probably have to see them to believe them. Let's not forget little Pax. He's our addition to the Monsternaut series... and he's very cute.

We've got our work cut out for us, but we will persevere and there will be monsters at the One of a Kind Show!
