GM Farcaster++ 11100 $ENJOYThe Last Bookstore (outcasts edition)
This edition was to show how to create an allowlist using the holders of outcasts as the example. This edition can only be minted by holders of outcasts.
The Last Bookstore
Once upon a time, in the quaint town of Booksville, there stood a peculiar establishment known far and wide as "The Last Bookstore." Despite its name, it wasn't a gloomy place filled with dusty tomes. Quite the contrary, it was a whimsical haven for book lovers and adventure seekers.
Owned by a quirky bibliophile named Professor McPages, The Last Bookstore boasted a collection that rivaled even the grandest libraries. The shelves were organized in a way that only made sense to Professor McPages – a system known only to him and, occasionally, a very confused cat named Sir Whiskerpaws who had claimed the bookstore as his second home.
One sunny day, a customer named Amelia stumbled upon The Last Bookstore. Intrigued by the sign that read "Last Chance for Literary Laughter," she decided to explore the enchanting aisles. Little did she know, she was in for a hilariously unpredictable experience.
Amelia reached for a book titled "The Adventures of a Potato Detective." Curiosity piqued, she began to read about Spudley McSpud, a tuber with a knack for solving vegetable-related mysteries. Unbeknownst to Amelia, Professor McPages had a penchant for writing eccentric stories during his late-night caffeine-fueled literary escapades.
As Amelia chuckled her way through potato puns and undercover starch operations, she noticed a group of characters from other books engaged in a heated debate. The Mad Hatter from Wonderland was arguing with Sherlock Holmes about the best way to brew tea while solving crimes. Amelia couldn't help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of the scene.
Sir Whiskerpaws, overhearing the commotion, sauntered over and gave her an approving purr. Professor McPages, always eager for readers' reactions, emerged from behind a book tower, wearing a hat adorned with bookmarks.
"Ah, another soul who appreciates the literary mayhem!" he exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with bookish delight. "Welcome to The Last Bookstore, where every story is an adventure and every adventure is downright hilarious!"
Amelia, still giggling, browsed through shelves labeled "Books That Shouldn't Exist" and "Fictional Cooking Recipes That May or May Not Be Edible." She even stumbled upon a manual titled "How to Train Your Dragon to Write Poetry," complete with dragon-sized quills and ink pots.
As the day unfolded, The Last Bookstore revealed its charming eccentricities. Characters from different genres formed unlikely friendships, leading to even more absurd plot twists. By the time Amelia left, she carried not just a bag of books but also a heart full of laughter.
And so, The Last Bookstore continued to thrive, its shelves brimming with tales that blended humor, imagination, and a dash of literary lunacy. Professor McPages and Sir Whiskerpaws reveled in the joy of sharing stories that left readers questioning the boundaries of literary sanity – a legacy that made The Last Bookstore anything but the end of the line for laughter and imagination in Booksville.

Collecting Enforcement Actions: Statement on Stoner Cats 2, LLC by Commissioner Hester M. Peirce Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda Sept 13, 2023
On September 13, 2023 SEC Commissioners Peirce and Uyeda issued the following statement regarding the SEC's settlement with Stoner Cats:
We respectfully dissent from the Commission’s second non-fungible token (NFT) settlement, as we did from the first.[1]The application of the Howey [2] investment contract analysis in this matter lacks any meaningful limiting principle. It carries implications for creators of all kinds. Were we to apply the securities laws to physical collectibles in the same way we apply them to NFTs, artists’ creativity would wither in the shadow of legal ambiguity. Rather than arbitrarily bringing enforcement actions against NFT projects, we ought to lay out some clear guidelines for artists and other creators who want to experiment with NFTs as a way to support their creative efforts and build their fan communities.
Whether an artist is selling numbered versions of physical prints for fans to display on their walls or NFTs for fans to display on social media, she deserves clear guidance about whether and how the securities laws apply. Artists of all kinds have long struggled to support themselves, and NFTs offer a potentially viable way for them to monetize their talents. The fact that money is involved does not transform NFTs into securities.
This enforcement action involves activity that we believe constitutes fan crowdfunding—a common phenomenon in the world of artists, creators, and entertainers.[3] In July 2021, Stoner Cats sold 10,320 NFTs to the public for ether valued at $8.2 million to fund the production of an animated series called Stoner Cats.[4] NFT purchasers received a unique still image of one of the characters in the Stoner Cats series and exclusive access to the series and an online community, as well as access to unspecified, future entertainment content.[5] Several famous writers, animators and voice actors worked on the project.[6]
While updated for the digital age,[7] the Stoner Cats NFTs are not that different from Star Wars collectibles sold in the 1970s. On the heels of the very successful release of Star Wars in 1977, fan excitement was high.[8] To the delight of millions of children that holiday season, the toy company Kenner sold “Early Bird Certificate Packages,”[9] redeemable for future Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and R2-D2 action figures and membership in the Star Wars fan club. The sales of these certificates helped to build a die-hard community of Star Wars fans. Would those I.O.U. certificates, which could be re-sold, constitute investment contracts? Using the analysis of today’s enforcement action, the SEC should have parachuted in to save those kids from Star Wars mania.
NFT creators, along with other artists, do not get a free pass from the securities laws. In some instances, sales of NFTs may implicate our securities laws. In applying the securities laws in this space, however, the Commission must take care to preserve the ability of artists to sell their work, build a fan base, and involve that fan base in future creative endeavors. That is what was happening in the 1970s with Star Wars, and that is what was happening here with Stoner Cats. The Stoner Cats NFT purchasers received what they paid for -- a still image of a character from the series, access to all six episodes of the Stoner Cat series, and the excitement of being part of a popular phenomenon. The Commission’s application of the securities laws here makes little sense and discourages content creators from exploring ways to harness social networks to create and distribute content. More generally, it contributes to the legal ambiguity facing artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and others seeking to build a loyal, engaged following.

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Rob Siltanen
