Meet the Psychos of Sigh Co.

Well, now we've got you at our mercy... you're reading the "About Us" page. Aren't you in for a treat? As long as you're here, I may as well introduce you to the last faces you need be bothered with for the rest of your life... how long that is will be up to your endurance in our dungeon. That's me, your master of ceremonies, Brian, on the right... I look mean, but really, I'm the only one likely to show you any mercy and make your end a quick one.

Generally even-handed, Gwen is the primary operator of the device that will bring you to your knees - what we like to call "The Press." She can bend it to her whims even easier than you can be brought to tears... which we hear isn't as hard as you'd like to think. Gwen does everything from designing to accounting to printing. A woman of many talents.

This is the one you've got to watch out for. If you so much as give him a look, or walk near his tail, we wish you good luck at removing his fangs from your appendages. The brains of the operation, Dante oversees our machinations to ensure that they meet his high standards of EEEEEVIL. They always do.

Besides torturing pretty little things, the Psychos also enjoy the occasional night on the town... below you may wonder at our fiendish delight in two illustrations of what we consider "fun." In other words, costumes and booze.

The Story

One dark night on a lonely desert road, inspiration struck. Okay, actually, my wife and I were driving home to San Diego, California, from a weekend trip to Las Vegas. So, the road wasn't so lonely, and the night not so dark; it was a jammed freeway lit by the lights and red glow of the other cars caught in the same morass. Earlier, another car had been following me so closely that I couldn't see its headlights. Still fuming, I uttered to my wife "tailgaters make me psycho." It occured to us that a lot of people feel that way, and that the sentiment makes a great bumper sticker. Over the next several hours, the genesis of a business blossomed. We went from bumper stickers to t-shirts, knowing that we could fill a niche for the dark at heart. I'm a professional web developer, and consequently a geek at heart... so, that's a dark at heart geek at heart, or something along those lines. We didn't have an opportunity to explore our idea too much at the time - it was merely a pleasant driving diversion - but we've since followed our hearts to New Orleans, Louisiana, and here, among the iron lace balconies, creole cottages, and historic antebellum mansions, we've followed our business dreams, as well.

While other merchandising companies make clothing for geeks, and still others for goths and rivetheads, it seemed to us that no one was really speaking to that subculture that is a fusion of the two. Our personal interests go from computers to the occult, from gothic to cyberpunk, and everything between. These influences are reflected in our growing line of merchandise. In the future, we plan to bring you even more groovy stuff, besides the t-shirts and bumper stickers we began with. Stay tuned...

Your humble master, Brian Callahan
