Great opening party!!

As we announced several weeks ago, we have a new studio. Now we are in a bigger and nicer one. Using a set expression, apparently ordinary: "Size minds". Our Characters are now more comfortable, t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies and the rest of the stuff very well ordered and even we have plenty of space. Unbelievable!!

For those who haven´t been working in a hide-out, this might means little, but for us is the third studio and in this one we are really comfortable. We have three rooms and when people come to visit us we have to go with them to show the whole office. Is not a palace, but for people from humble birth like us, 60m2 seems to be giant. And in order to let you see by yourself, we are arranging an opening party to which all of you are invited. You can come alone or with more people, with friends, special friends or the first unknown person you cross in the street, in bicycle or flying... What matters is that you come. There will be nuts, soft drinks, beer, music and the Tolky Monkys Team.

Besides, every person that comes to visit the new studio will take advantage of very special prices: t-shirts 1*15€ and 2*25€, polo shirts per 20€ and hoodies and sweatshirts per 30€. And if you come with a Tolky Monkys´ garment, we´ll give you one of our exclusive new metro wallets.

Address: C/ Montera 9 - 2ยบ Local 5
Date and time: Friday April 3th from 17:00 till 21:30

View location at Google Maps.

WE HOPE YOU COME!!
