Institute for CLEW Studies (ICS) > ICS is established, 2017
In 2017, ICS welcomed its first full-time staff member, MC Greenleaf (official title: Cobweb Clearer) to assist with developing the ICS office installation and brand identity. We gave tours of the ICS office during "open office hours", created our own ICS font, built an ICS website (which, unfortunately, has gone the way of all things), and made the ICS infomercial.

the ICS infomercial
“running back and forth forever between grief and high delight” —(blatently taken somewhat out of context from) J.D. Salinger, Frannie and Zooey
The full Infomercial is 13 minutes and 11 seconds long. However, in the interest of full transparency ICS would like it known that over 5 minutes consist of Bloopers and Outtakes. One can choose to stop viewing at the end of the official Infomercial, but would miss hearing the entire version of The Ballad of Frankie B.
