was one of the liveliest, funnest in recent times.
I mostly posted this to make mention of the show of local HS artists which was in a gellery below Paul Robinette. I hope everyone went. I have to say - Wow. Most impressed. As we left, I commented to Elena that a big percentage of the works were superior to a big percentage of the works we saw in Asheville NC, a supposed artiste-heaven. These are the people we want to stay in Columbus / come back to Columbus.
Also, the 'gallery' owners need to take lessons from the retail shops in terms of being friendly and acting like they are actually glad to have people in their place.
The SN is definitely a fashion district. I got one t-shirt, but had to be restrained from more purchases. I think the only thing it lacks is a place for men's more formal clothes.

Yeah, last night's Hop was great! The weather was perfect, the crowds were huge, and everyone seemed happy to be out and about. I didn't get to see any of the art next door (I was working at the above-mentioned candle shop), but I'm happy to hear how everything went.

Jo and I took my future mother in law out and about around the shops and what not for the Hop. She had never been to Columbus and she experienced that and North Market yesterday.
Good times were had by all, but I'm banned from spending money right now (wedding coming up in July, price of gold has made getting a decently priced wedding band ridiculous), so I wasn't able to indulge my need for new threads.

I heard plenty of people were caught off guard by the galleries closing at 10. That is too early without question. They should be open til 11 or 12., especially during warmer months.

It was a very good gallery hop. Went to dinner at the newly remodeled L'antibes(8 months ago according to our server), let me just say the did a great job. The old place was kinda bizarre looking with alot of mauve going on, strange uncomfortable chairs and blank walls . The remodeled place is comfortable, good looking and the food was great. Service too.

Thanks to everyone that squeezed into our first gallery hop at the new space. It was great to meet all of you that came in for the first time! Of course, it was better to meet those of you that made purchases...
We are working hard to start filling that niche Andrew. I think you'll see am evolution of the men's side of Tigertree over the next few months.
We were overwhelmed by the support we got last night, especially from this forum. Thanks again everyone.

i hobbeled my way to the ibiza thing. chit chatted with some friends and watched andrea cambern yell out "skybust" to the crowd. redeemed my gift card for a "ibizatini" at union then went to some parties. if my foot wasnt in so much pain i would have joined up with some folks at skullys but i just could not walk all that way up there. the pain was just too much to handle.

Our crew had a great time. Seeing the traffic level in the new Tigertree location was pretty amazing. I think it proves that you guys made the right move. Hopefully your sales can back that up.
Perfect night to be out.

Roland, where have you been? It's been nearly 36 hours since our new best customer has picked up a pair of kicks. :wink:

I'm honored. :lol:
Gotta say that I loved breaking in those new yellow/black Safari Quickstrikes last night. Many miles of walking and dancing. And compliments too. Shmack was sporting some nice new high tops last night too.
You've had some great items come in these past few weeks. I'm at my quota, I can't get any more without being admitted somewhere.

Not just last night, today too! I had to show em off on the Tip Top patio during lunch. Definitely got some double takes. :D
Roland, you are far too skilled in tweaking other people's shoe addict buttons.

I wish I had actually left the bar and gone on the gallery hop.
EDIT: Bad things may have happened to my drink which put me in a dangerous state. :evil: :cry:

It was my last Gallery Hop with a place overlooking High Street. But I can't complain since I have been here seven years. Next month back to the quieter side in Victorian Village and I will actually have to walk one and a half blocks to get to High Street for Gallery Hop.

It would have prevented me from drinking the equivalent of an entire bottle of vodka and dying on the floor of Skullys. BIG BIG BIG thanks to Manatee for finding me and to her and JimL2 for walking me to my car (where I spent the night). Sorry to everyone who had to put up with my irresponsible antics! Also, sorry to all of you that I missed out on spending time with and dancing at Bristol. I'm quite embarrassed and furious with myself right now. :oops: :evil: :cry:
All of us professional drinkers have their "moments". Nothing to be ashamed about. Recuperate, and let's do it all over again on Monday! I didn't participate in gallery hop, but I had a parallel weekend of wonderfulness & indulgence.

Thanks for the pep talk!
Just look at it this way girly...at least there were no sidewalk snow angels involved. :wink: We all have these stellar moments. I've had plenty in my lifetime. You just haven't been lucky enough to witness them yet. Onward and upward! Buck up and get ready to get your beer on tomorrow night.

Agree with all the above. If it were all rainbows and sunshine, every joker would be doing it :)

EDIT: With further introspection and outside insight, my opinion of what actually happened to me on Saturday has changed. PM if you want know further details.
