OH MY GD???????!!!!!!!!

If you still need the address, shoot me a DM now! I will likely be tied up throughout the open house, but will still try to keep an eye on DMs for those who are late to message.

Very excited to see you all very, very soon!

Today's the day!? 👾

12:00pm - 4:00pm today, come meet Friend and see the rest of the studio! Try our paper cutter! Use a 300 lb. stapler?! Take some Riso prints home!!

I'm so excited I had trouble sleeping. It feels just like Christmas when I was a kid.

Totally on board, even as a 4-5am early morning riser.

Folks who are interested in attending can DM this account for the address, or send an email to hello@ultramega.studio with subject line "Open House"!

Looking forward to seeing you all very, very soon! 👾

If you are a donor who has still not received their rewards, this is an excellent time to come scoop them up right from the source.

Come to learn about how the Risograph, the stitcher (big stapler!), the paper cutter, and other tools can help YOU print and publish all kinds of cool stuff! Stay for the lightly flavored sparkling water!

FOLKS! It's time for the doors to swing wide open! 👾

Come celebrate the end of our fundraiser, and the beginning of a new era!

On Saturday, November 15th from 12:00pm - 4:00pm the Ultra Mega home studio will be open to the public.

I'll be sharing more information about the open house tomorrow. But for now, thank you again. Thank you so much to everyone who's helped get us this far! Really looking forward to showing you all the cool things you've made possible. :)

This open house is also when I'll announce our very first "Open Print" days, where folks will be invited to bring their projects and use the machines for a low cost. The entire goal of this fundraiser! Very exciting.

So, what now?

A party! An open house! Whatever you wanna call it!

On Saturday, November 15th, I'm inviting everyone over to come check out the space and the tools. I'll be demonstrating what they are, how they work, and maybe even letting a few folks try their hands at 'em.

I have to admit, five months of fundraising and a smattering of events I've planned have left me feeling a bit tired. But from here on, I don't intend to have so many overlapping projects all at once. Until April, I'm focusing squarely on planning @licz.bsky.social and developing the print studio.

It's time to get PRINTING! It's time to get PUBLISHING! Lansing, I want to hear all your weird little zine ideas and help you bring 'em to life. I want to help you make exciting posters to decorate our city with! I wanna figure out what other strange objects we can make together, too.

HEY! WE RAISED $5000! 👾

Finally, I've ordered the last supplies and even picked up a couple new tools along the way.

First time I've ever seen someone else say this out loud 😭 It is healing!

Oh, Dick Cheney died? Well-- *sees Bluesky mod around corner* What's really important is championing the open protocol.

- rizzograph
- rissograph
- reesograph
- reezograph
- ryezograph
- ryesograph
at least two of these people own risographs. what is the truth

i used to say a similar thing about studio ghibli before learning that the name comes from an italian word... now i feel like all bets are off

this makes me feel insane personally
