We've all been there. In the red for 130 large. Mustached men at your door, brandishing cigar clippers. Delicately tying your privates between your legs, wandering the docks to pleasure lonely seamen. The blood. The screaming. The feathers... Oh the twisted agony of it all. You wouldn't wish those dark times on your worst enemy, would you now?
Well here is your moment to shine people. McSweeney's, the publishing empire that you love to hate for doing everything better than you could ever hope to do yourself, needs your help.
See now, poor Timothy has recently been shafted to the tune of 130,000 USD due to a distributor bankruptcy. Rather than let the swift hand of street justice smooth things out using only a dirty sock and a handful of batteries, McSweeney's has opted instead to have a giant sale on all existing stock, as well as a bevy of mouth-watering auction items that you will never be able to afford. Featuring one-of-a-kind pieces from Miranda July, Chris Ware, Tony Millionaire and Marcel Dzama. There's even a rare painting from His Holiness Dave Eggers up for grabs. Read the full story here, shop online here. The auctions, however, are here.
