it’ll be much more fun. and though it will carry on in the spirit of offbeat, it’s not strictly local, nor should it suck. art, music, design, crafts, friends, clients, mustaches, brands, marketing, clothes and assorted rubbish. look for upcoming posts on the candle lab, expressly benevolence, tigertree, gra+d, and i love treefort.

the episode — “sweet & salty” — will feature footage shot on location at the production kitchen and grandview ave last march.

no cable?  me either.  drop in on a friend.

ps – salty caramel, anyone?  check your rally pack.

“the fairer sex rules at this female-owned saloon, but rest assured: the womanly wiles are dispensed with mae westian sass, not post-riot grrl angst. pigtailed roller derby queens sit elbow to elbow with middle management-types, everybody digging into down-home grub such as frito pie and cherry cola-glazed ribs.”

indeed. and for those of you participating in scoot-a-que 10 september 14, 15, & 16, be sure to sort carefully through your rally pack.

there’ll be no pens, sponges, or corporate swag this year (at least not from us). no. instead, you’ll be getting your choice of either $1 off fresh ice cream from jeni’s, or $5 off a meal from betty’s or surly girl, on us.

just look for the bird:

and also here on the sonny rollins classic “st thomas.”

jeni personifies the creative, independent spirit we value so highly in our clients, so this makes us feel warm and fuzzy — kind of like “blind alley.” pop in at the new short north location and share one of the avant summer seasonals in celebration.
