So you stayed home Friday and recovered from Thanksgiving, avoiding shopping insanity and killer crowds. You’re pretty happy with yourself that you didn’t give in to the hype. You didn’t fall for the gimmicks, you can’t be brain washed by advertising, you’re above materialistic instincts. Life is good.
Only problem is that tiny little voice in your head telling you that you might have missed out on some huge savings. Especially on very important things like flat screen tvs, digital cameras, Guitar Hero…you know. So maybe a little materialism isn’t so bad. Damn. Well, starting at midnight tonight you have another chance. And like most good things in life, it doesn’t require you moving from your couch.
Welcome to Cyber Monday, folks. Big savings, easy shopping, no lines. Check it. Tipsity lists some of the top leaked deals of 2008. Everybody from Dell to Sears to Circuit City is getting in on this action so why shouldn’t you? Use technology, waste hours of your day, buy, buy, buy!
We here at monkeywhale would also like to remind you that this is the season of giving. So after you’ve bought that 40″ flat screen click over to one of your favorite environmental groups and drop them a little cash, too. You’ll sleep easier that way. Once you turn off that new tv.

This was a collaborative effort as part of our [...]
Two songs just aren’t enough. They came to our kitchen, braved the cold and the drizzle in the back yard and ate Indian food with us before returning to Brooklyn, NY. Fear not, they’ll be returning to Greensboro on March 13th as part of our Monkeywhale presents series …
Many thanks to Jocelyn, Emily and Jeremy [...]
For the past 2 years monkeywhale and our kind neighbors have thrown a Halloween party. Nothing fancy. A couple of gazebos, a keg, strings of lights across the lawn and a few lanterns. We also project films on the barn that have fallen into the public domain … like, Nosferatu for instance. Creepy and a [...]
An Apache Relay is the pre-colonial version of a courier system. Chiefs would compete against each other to see who could have a message delivered in the shortest amount of time. A Relay of 8 scouts could hand a message over a quarter of a mile in 3 minutes. Apparently. Just imagine if they [...]
Lyndsay, a neighbor to our fellow monkeywhalers in Asheville, NC came to our attention due to the insistence of Dulci, Shane and Jason of Now You See Them (a prior visitor to the kitchen). Dulci and Shane actually accompany Lyndsay on this song along with the very talented Matt Williams.
Who is this Lyndsay Wojcik? (pronounced [...]
Here’s another song from a very special evening that began with a lovely set by Bruce Piephoff (a longtime friend who inaugurated the Harvey’s Kitchen series). Jim Avett is father to Scott and Seth Avett, of the Avett Brothers who were recently signed to Columbia Records.
The dotmatrix project is a monthly concert series which is [...]
