TONIGHT!
IF YOU MISS THIS, YOU BETTER BE DEAD OR IN JAIL! AND IF YOU'RE IN JAIL, BREAK OOOOOUT!

Hmmm? Oh these? Why yes, those ARE bottles of Pause champagne that we'll be just giving away at the
Sleeping Giant New Years party tomorrow. You ought to stop by. We have plenty more where those came from.

À LA MODE
The shocking tell all interview we did with
À La Mode is now up for your reading pleasure on their website. I must say, this interview was a lot of fun to do. Most interviews consist of the same cookie cutter questions over and over. Such as
"How long has Ken been growing that beard?" and
"Can Ken's beard really get me pregnant?" or
"Is it true that Ken once built a time machine and used it to stop the JFK assassination? And when Oswald shot, Ken met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them, but JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement?" Man, if I had a nickel for every time I heard THAT one...(I'd be making money is a very strange way.)
Anyway, thank you very much to À La Mode for being awesome, as well as for the exposure.

PAUSE DESIGNS $5 SALE!
Out with the old and in with the new, my friends! In order to make room for Pause's 2010 collection, we pulled all of our vintage designs out from storage, and slapped blowout prices on them! What kind of a blowout price you may ask?
"$20?" No sir.
"$15?" Keep going...
"$10?!" Heck no!
"$5??!?!?" Bingo.
$5 CANADIAN for that matter! That's only $4.75 US! Or 2.89 GBP! Man oh man. The sale will run until it's all gone, but let me tell you, quantities are very limited. So don't sleep on it.

NEW APPAREL NOW AVAILABLE
If you visited us at the Toronto Clothing Show a couple months back, then you already know about these badboys. In fact, there's a pretty good chance that you're wearing one of them right now. And if you are wearing it, you're probably also reading this blog from your solid gold laptop, on the beach (Yeah,
THE beach), eating Jelly Belly brand jelly beans out of the navel of your high school crush, getting phone calls from the President or the Prime Minister (depending on your location) to save the world, and lighting a fine Cuban cigar off the Olympic torch.
But for those of you that aren't in the know, allow me to bring you up to speed. First up we have our "Honourable Lip Fringe" design (Relax, that's how honour is spelled in Canada). Now, let's say you have a moustache, but you don't have any t-shirts to match it. Conversely, let's say you're an avid moustache enthusiast, and genetics be they hormonal or gender based has denied you a fixture of hair to conceal that unsightly
philtrum. Well we have you covered on both angles.
Next up, we have our "Your Wish Is Granted" design. Modern pop culture is composed of a scaffolding so intricate an precariously organized that even the most astute observer will get tangled up in its complex ironies. Twisted Sister for example, good? Bad? So bad it's good? Who among us can with total confidence navigate these subtle categories? We were determined with this shirt, to create something that avoided these questions entirely. That NO ONE, ANYWHERE, EVER would consider anything but WONDERFUL. Something so PURE that it crossed gender boundaries, racial lines, economic status and made these borders meaningless! Something that would bring us together! Unite us as a whole! An icon that the whole world could rally around, like the warm centre of the universe! So you have it: "Tom Hanks in the '80s."
*Disclaimer: Pause is not responsible for damage caused by beautiful members of the opposite sex, trying to jump your bones, and/or confusing you for Tom Hanks in the '80s while wearing this shirt.-Eric & Ken
THIS JUST HAPPENED
About 10 minutes ago, I noticed there was a little more cheering than usual coming from outside my house. Here's what I found:
I live roughly 4500km away from Vancouver, and a torch swap happened DIRECTLY in front of my house.
Any day where I can step outside of my house and be immediately greeted by hot chocolate, free Canadian flags, and high fives is an awesome day in my books. The Olympics should come around here more often.
