Love Fest
Why are we throwing a Love Fest? Well, Greg Bovino is hosting a Mass Deportation Rally on the same day, so we are channeling our indignation into the most joyful, loving, Lisa-Frank-meets-Raffi style shindig we can muster up. Hate never made anyone great. Let's love each other instead.
So! Among many other exciting attractions, now we'll have a therapy dog! And to keep the chaos level at a dull simmer, please leave your own pets at home. We would love to meet them another time.

Side Walk Sale
Lots of you remember us from our big garage sale at our house last summer! We advertised it as the "A Real Deal Garage Sale" and nothing was over $10! It was a massive success but now that we've got our shop - we can't really do garage sales at our home anymore!
Our customers have been asking us to bring this sale back this summer, so of course we've decided to do a big ole clearance sale on the sidewalk outside of our shop and @wabashabrewing because we've got way too much shit! And exactly 2 storage units chalked full of things we are ready to let go from our South St. Paul days!
