We Are Wedges Adoption Center is now ONLINE!!!


Ever look enviously at your friends who all have Wedges? Where do they get them from? Where can you get them from? No more! Now, you can adopt your very own wedge through the We Are Wedges Adoption Center!

As if this isn't amazing enough, Squido, Sluggo, and Octo, the Sea Wedges, are available online for the first time. Fill you aquarium today! (Note, Sea Wedges do not enjoy being submerged in water. But we can pretend!)

Remember, you can make all the difference in the life of a Wedge in need. Help end Wedgelessness - One Wedge at a time.

ps. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Countdown to Fan Expo 2008 - DAY 4

A few days ago, we introduced Squido the librarian. Today we're proud to introduce Sluggo, a sea snail who lives at the bottom of the Wedge Sea. Sluggo is a window cleaner, but has been unemployed for several months. We're all for skilled trades, but he may have wanted to consider that there are very few windows to clean at the bottom of the ocean.

Sea snails are gastropods. We were going to steal a general overview of the class from wikipedia, but the following really jumped out at us, so we're going to focus on it:

"Snails are distinguished by torsion, a process where the visceral mass of the animal rotates 180ยบ to one side during development, such that the anus is situated more or less above the head".

Wait a minute, what was that last part? They have butts on top of your heads? Headbutts? Needless to say, our Wedge tribute to all things gastropod is not entirely anatomically correct. No headbutts. Sluggo is however pretty much adorable. Not a showboat like Octo, Sluggo's content without pesky appendages, just slinking across the ocean floor, feeding on whatever floats his way.

Watch for Sluggo soon in the Wedge Shop!

Les Fruits De La Mer!

This morning when you woke up and immediately refreshed wearewedges.com, you may have noticed something new.

SEA WEDGES!

Octo is an octopus!
Squido is a squid!
Sluggo is a sea snail!

Which is your favourite? Did you know that Squido has 2 more tentacles than Octo, so a bit of an edge there. But Octo works works in a stop sign factory, which is pretty random/awesome. And Sluggo is named Sluggo! It's so hard to choose!

Sea Wedges aren't in the online shop yet, but will be varrrrry soon. However, they are for sale at our summer shows and events starting right...now! Speaking of summer events, watch for more SUPER EXCITING news soon about upcoming events. Seriously, SUPER EXCITING.)

ps. Did you know Brent Spiner is going to be at FanExpo Toronto this year?

pps. Brent freaking Spiner!
