BACKSTORY: When we were at Wickerman, we met the creator of Looney Labs, Andrew Looney. Clint told him about this old set of Icehouse pieces that Clint's aunt had given us for Christmas one year. She had found them at a thrift store and recognized them as something that we like. Based on our description, it was a super rare set -- less than 10 in existence? They only made a few of these for some of their close friends at the very beginning. We heard thirdhand that he re-told the story of how those pieces were in a thrift store to other people after we were gone! So honored! And, get this: The Looney Labs people knew that we'd be missing a large yellow one. Apparently, those were more likely to break. When we got home and checked out the set, THEY WERE RIGHT. A yellow one was missing! I'm pretty sure the Looney Labs people have supernatural powers.
