Another Brilliant Birthday!!!



For those who have been with EPIC a long while you’ll recall ‘Trish’s Crafty Studio‘ was our sister business when EPIC originally stood for Events and Parties Indoor Center (Damn the owners really wanted that acronym). When EPIC rebranded so too did Trish’s transform into ‘The Crafty Studio‘ which is now our workspace that has a lot of the supplies in-store to purchase but is mostly a working space. 

It is not uncommon to my ears that I have to explain that EPIC doesn’t have an Owner but rather Owners. Most our Patrons know Trevmeister owns it, yet I receive questions on who the other is – that other owner being Trevor’s own significant other and the wonderful creative bookkeeper behind both EPIC and The Crafty Studio – Trish!

Today Trish turned the wonderful age of 29 for the somethingeth year in a row! How? Beats me, all I know is that she stopped counting and everyone else did too. 

Trish, or as all the sacred paperwork in EPIC has her referred to, ‘The Almighty Trish’ has been the other secure and loving part of this community since its ideation. She has always been involved with the community, nurturing her own group of crafters on top of looking after all the people behind the scenes in the shadowy and very friendly Team Cupcake that organises a lot of the bingo at EPIC.

Wonder why all the hot chocolate is gone? The Almighty Trish took it!

Wondering why your D&D group levelled up? The Almighty Trish said “DING LEVEL UP!”

Ever caught yourself pondering why you have no creativity and will to live? In all honesty that has nothing to do with The Almighty Trish! Shame on you for thinking she has a supernatural ability to harvest your creative spark and use it in her own artworks. I can promise you this though. For the low low cost of talking to her, The Almighty Trish will nurture that creative spark and help you out. 

Trish, if you’re reading this blog post, thank you for being the mother in this amazing community you helped create. Every community you seem to join turns into a new garden of Eden. 

For everyone else reading this, purchase hot chocolates from EPIC today before Trish consumes it all! No seriously, do not underestimate The Almighty Trish, in fact, buy her one too, help her celebrate her birthday.

A very Happy Birthday to EPICs Mother and Owner Trish. It’s an honour to truly know her.

Your Friend and Ally,

Lachy

The website got a facelift

 It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end.

First Aid trained Fblthp

The Lost Adventures of Fblthp - entry 2 See previous entry here First Aid trained Fblthp The Pelican swooped down and carried him to a new location. It flew higher and higher until it too was lost. Both entities could no longer see the water and only saw buildings below, with a mighty kick Fblthp indicated to the Pelican that he wanted to be dropped off. He stayed on the rooftop for a couple of days before someone went up to have a break, sneaking his way down into the building proper, he found himself in a seminar of some variety. Sneaking onto the computer he read up on some of the material discovering it to be none other than a first aid course. Adding his name into the system he was escorted to a chair beside one of EPIC's patrons Lisa Cooke. Lisa was enthusiastic enough to see the homunculus but couldn't understand his 'jabbering'. Not wanting to get picked for any answers he hid behind a workbook but was unfortunately singled out to answer questions.... fortunatel

THEY ARE BACK!

 THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THEY ARE BACK! Ladies, gentlemen, guys, gals and my non-binary pals. The benevolent and almighty owners of EPIC Ipswich have returned.  For those who hadn't visited the premises since last Wednesday, Trevor the Founding Father and Trish the Queen of Crafts, left EPIC Ipswich in the very reliable and most capable hands of their staff whilst they were out plotting... erm... I mean planning changes to the business in a conference down in Sydney. After the store nearly burnt down from a fryer being left on over the weekend and its panicked cover-up. The Benevolent and most gracious power couple of the store touched down Monday morning to say and I quote "Yup. That's a mighty fine store we have. Were the garbage bins emptied? Did someone eat my truffle? Did someone forget to feed the work experience people we have locked away in our office?". After finding all the staff members answers acceptable, they finally let me out of the cardboard box they'
