> YES!!! IT'S TRUE!!! They are gone! The paintings in our gallery have been PILFERED!!!! The culprit

no finger prints, no foot prints, no prints at all. We need everyone's help on this, we can't catch
the criminal by ourselves. If you have any leads, photos, or just gut feeling please send them to
us.

of the October art contest however there will be one more prize added! We need feed back to see what
the fans want to see more of in the prize vault. We are trying to get our act together and build a
poll on the front page of the office. My poor half human half cat brain is working as hard as it can
to figure out how to do that along with many other things...

> So next news letter you can expect to see the picture of the previous month's winner right here!
If you can't wait that long, get in your time machine and time-travel you butt to the 1st of
December and read the next email. What!? You don't have a time machine... Psh, get with the program,
they are like DVD players, you can't be cool unless you have one. Oh, wait, I still need to get a
DVD player and a time machine!

> Upcoming Events
> Finally the events! And here they are in order by date:
>
> 1. Our next anime art contest!
> 2. Whiteboard meetings at 8:00PM Pacific.
> Currently we have a really puny white board. However we are going to buy a really nice and large
White board. We fond out that we are in the top 5% highest traffic white board and ours is rinky
dink (Don't tell holly I said "Rinky Dink.") That's right Anime Artists, we are spending more money
for your personal pleasure. I hope you enjoy this because this is lots of money for an unemployed
person like myself. So come on in, bring your friends, draw, chat and have a good time.
> 3. Web board Rants! jessebox.com/phpBB
> As an artists my self, I often times get so frustrated at the computer or my art projects the best
way for me to vent is to rant! What better place to do it than to do in public! We might even hold
some sort of a rant contest in the near future if people like ranting a lot. The best part about
these rants is you can rant right back at the other person. Don't hold anything back otherwise the
rants won't work.
>
> 4. More events will be posted on news site! http://jessebox.com/index.php
>
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> What's new
> Our site is still new however we have over 1,150 unique hits and we are just starting our second
month! Thank you everyone!
>
> What have we added since our first news letter? We have added a nice web board
(http://jessebox.com/index.php) A kick butt splash page with 3 images that rotate randomly, a really
cool art gallery that needs help being filled (http://jessebox.com/art/gallery/index.php), we added
a new employee, to our staff. Check it out in our profiles section. Expect an article about him in
our next news letter.
>
> One of the major things we are trying to get to take off is our Office Work section. There you
will find mad libs where you can be as creative as the words you come up with
(http://jessebox.com/art/office_work/index.php) We need lots of help making new office work. And we
hope to have a tutorial for making mad libs in our new tutorial section! ^.^
>
> Lots more stuff has been added, I have been too busy to remember all of the stuff that Holly and I
have put up. We are sure you will be interested in at least one of the things on our site ^.^ Still
we are all about the art contests and giving away anime prizes!

> Something extra!
> Something extra!!! Geez! As if this news letter didn't have enough content! Here I am sitting at
my computer on Halloween night typing this. I'm sure there isn't anything I should be doing.... Oh
wait! I could be going to a halloween party! So I think I will! You poor suckers are stuck here
reading this news letter while I'm going to be off par-tae-ing! Oh wait, I forgot I wasn't invited
to a Halloween party. So I'm going to invite all of you over to my house to party with me! Okay be
at my house October 31st 7:00pm. Ha ha! with all these news readers it'll be the best party yet! Oh

little better.

> Something Special! animeworks.net
> Gloves and Holly has an official parter that will be keeping our prize-vault filled with excellent
prizes and special deals in our Gallery's Gift Shop. Because Gloves & Holly Art Agency is so poor,
we can't afford to give this expensive quality stuff away so easily. However, Anime Works is so
large and well off they have offered, ever so nicely, to sponsor our contests and continue to
provide their anime buying customers with very low prices and excellent selection that is growing by
the day it seems. so stop by and check out their crazy site! www.animeworks.net
