The Benny Store

Created by John Pointer

Yesterday Was Weird started as a simple post that went viral and helped millions of people cope with the grief of a loss, and remember the love that lives on. It is now an illustrated hardcover book for anyone who has to face “weird days” of their own. If you would like me to write anything special in your book just send me a message and I’ll be happy to customize it for you, a friend, or a loved one. If you'd just like a plain book without a dedication or note, select "plain" from the dropdown menu and get $10 off. As you scroll through the other items in the store, there are still about 50 shirts available, but not in all designs, sizes, styles, or colors. Most of them are charcoal gray, but there are some in black and a couple left in baby blue. If you can’t seem to find what you want, email me and I’ll let you know if I have one. If you have any other questions just ask. Sincerely, John (AKA Benny's Person) [email protected]

I’ll go live on Benny Pointer’s Facebook page this afternoon (http://Facebook.com/Benny.Pointer) when the books arrive. Since it’s a public page, you shouldn’t need a Facebook account to view it.

Packing party/performance/potluck will be Mar 2nd. If you’re in the area and want to help, I’ll give you one with a white cover as a thank-you. Message me for more details on that.

I’ll ship them out shortly thereafter. Thank you so much for your patience. I can’t wait for you to have yours!

P.S. printed a few extras that may be available here http://is.gd/TheBennyBook

Guys! After what has felt like an absolute eternity, the books have cleared customs and are on their way from California to Texas! That will take about a week, and then it'll take another week to move from the Texas distribution center to the garage, where I'll stage them for the packing party! Send me a message if you want to join me there!

Thank you for your patience and support through this whole process.

The First Fully-Finished Copy Has Arrived!

 Join me as I open the box live on Benny's Facebook page (http://faceboook.com/Benny.Pointer) at 3pm CST!

If you don't have a facebook account, I will post the video to http://bennypointer.com as soon as I'm finished.

Thank you for your patience. This is a major step and is basically the last one before the rest are printed and the full shipment comes!
