2315 Main St Vancouver BC
Here are a few quick shots that I took of the new store.
The large rectangles of light in the ceiling are wonderful skylights. They remind me of a gallery in Prague that I used to love going to because it was a giant room with huge skylights that made you feel weightless as if you were underwater. In the shop it feels more like you are bathed in something very precious....because light in Vancouver is a precious commodity.
This is Dane and Chris installing our temporary sign on the Sunday that we opened.

Pretty isn't it! This is the view from one of my windows. Vancouver always looks kind of lonely, but pretty.

It is what it is
So I'm thirty now. This is what I look like at thirty...not any different from 29.
Elaine, Dane and I have devised a new method of aging. You get to have a new privilage every year, for example at 16 you can drive, 19 you can drink, 28 Elaine doesn't have to go to any parties where you have to flush with your foot, 65 you can wear a cape and 85 you can say whatever the hell you want outloud....not just in your head.
I think thirty is going to be the year that I give myself permition to say 'no' without needing justification. Yay! I get to just say no!
Well there you have it!

mish mash
I think I'm coming out of my annual Vancouver comma and I've also learned how to use this thing called blog a little better. The link under 'humans are weird' are fixed so you can read the links if they are still there.
Where do I begin! First, thank you all who wrote comments that I did not find until today! I appreciate hearing for all of you.
The biggest news I have to share is that Lark is moving! we are moving just around the corner from our current location to a space that is three times the size. We're also going to be distrubuting Jorg + Olif bicycles! I've put the link up in the link section because this new version of blogger is a lot harder to use than the idiot proof old one, sigh.
Anyhow, here is a photo of the space from a couple of weeks ago. I will post the progress of the shop as we go I promise. In the meantime if anyone knows how to post links into the text portion of blogger please let me know as I fear my frustration is seeping into my rambelings. Also, I can't seem to get the spell check to work.
Here are some photo's from NYC of Natsumi and I having lunch, New York is a really goo breakfst and lunch town,mmmmmm. Since all that I see is code where there should be photos I can't really give you any witty comments about the images.
This photo here is of the entrance to the big Barney's clearance sale. I made the mistake of going in and I swear I haven't been that afraid since being robbed on a Polish train. It was something mroe than madness. There were people with stacks of Prada shoe boxes waiting in a cashout line that was bigger than any bank line up and there were something like 10 cashiers. Personaly I would pay the extra grand for the shoes just to have the opportunity to not be so freaked out.
I waited at the entrance for Natsumi who was smart enough not to join me, and while I waited cab upon cab stopped to let off straight lady with gay man...it was like a WIll and Grace convention. This stack of coffee cups is a fraction of what was littered around the door as people filed into the abis.
