We’ve actually been doing this since 2006, but you wouldn’t know to look at it. Through a series of software glitches and general stupidity, I managed to wipe out most of the info on this site. That’s a big bummer, since a lot of news, events, ideas, and the general story of who we are got deleted. Pile on top of this a slew of major life changes, crises, and other events that kept our attention away from Callithump! and all other creative endeavors. On top of that, a host sites for one of our vending machines closed. Another kicked us out because someone took offense to something their child bought out of one of our machines (to spite the warning sings clearly stating that these aren’t for kids. Either the locks broke or the keys got lost on two of our machines, so we couldn’t refill them or collect the money from them… It was beginning to feel like the end of Callithump!
Then things turned a corner. UMaine Today magazine published a lovely article about us. We moved into an exciting new location down on Commercial Street in Portland. We managed to get inside the two machines. The recovered funds are letting us expand the Orono installation, opening up new possibilities. And I finally managed to free up an afternoon to start rebuilding the website. Really, it’s a reboot for the website and Callithump! as a whole.
Stay tuned!
