Well, I’m not sure how we pulled it off, but we did it. Sucess to the everlasting ultimate degree of everything we could have possibly expected. If you want numbers I don’t have them, but I can tell you that 44/50 of the books were taken home, and 20/25 of the t-shirts are adorning fans and plans and moms and dads and old and young today, 8/8 of the CDs are in players.
The only thing I’m sorry for is the lack of armor — something that the first visitor of the evening really sucked us in for. I apologize man with moustache, the next time we do this I will come to you for armor. I swear it. I promise it. And on that note, you’ll have noticed some extra special wordage there — “next time.” That’s right. You didn’t think this was a one off did you? No, this was the deal the score the whole shabang of the FIRST ANNUAL REPUBLIC OF THORONIA ARTIFACTS EXHIBIT. What does first annual mean? It means there will be a second annual. And for that we’ll be further prepared. Ready for anything. Artists and contributers, you have a year. There will be a second half to the gallery, as I was too nervous in the way of picture taking (fuzzy out of focus shots!), so hold on for round two later on this week! Gallery!
(NOTE: Again I apologize for the blurry pictures, and if you’d like to download your own HISTORY OF THORONIA Chart, please get it here.)

It’s not every day that I can talk to a god — even a made-up one. But the Republic of Thoronia is a strange and ironic place. Here’s what I’m sure I know: King Thor chills in a scarf, old sneakers and boxers. He carries around a tote bag filled with important stuff that fell out of his head. Beyond that, I’m at a loss.
Tonight at 7 p.m. at the Skinny Squirrel, 3047 Larimer Street, The Republic of Thoronia Artifact Exhibit is a chance to learn all there is to know about this, er, alternate (read: fictional) history. “Everything is going to be explained better than it has been,” says Thoronian deity King Thor. “There’s going to be a history chart graphing histories — the present histories that we know and this alternative history that could have been.” Other “artifacts” include a suit of armor, paintings, dolls and a mustache chart.Admission is free. For more information, e-mail republicofthoronia@gmail.com or go to http://blog.mcbya.net.

Over the next coming weeks we’ll be rolling out some images from the Republic of Thoronia iPhone/iPod Touch game. The game is slated for release sometime over the next few months, but as a little eye candy and proof that it’s really happening, we figured we’d start giving you some preliminary shots. Here are two of the characters, Mr. Winn and Carl. Soon we’ll be kicking out some of the scenery and shorty real screenshots. The game will be released for Mac’s soon as well — and hopefully on PC soon thereafter. Enjoy!
