Until now everything was kind of happening in fantasyland, although we have already taken many concrete steps. Since this afternoon, we are looking at things under a different light altogether.

cookie-cabana.com is finally semi-officially online. At least the "please hang in there with us until everything is finished" page is online. Of course, adjustments can be expected during the next few days, but essentially we are asking you to accompany us on our journey, and to wait for the grand opening. This is the first publicly visible sign of the direction Cookie Cabana is going to take, and I must tell you it gives us a sense of urgency. The countdown is a great tool to remind ourselves how much time we still have to make all of the necessary arrangements... and believe me, there are quite a few to work through.

During the past couple of days we have seen previews of the actual site, and I hope you will like it as much as I do. When online, it should be "eine angenehme Überraschung" (a pleasant surprise), as the Germans would say. Please think positive and give us your good karma.
