Larchmere is probably the most fun place in NEO to go antiqueing. A variety of interesting stores on a almost quaint street with great restaurants. The annual antiques fair brings the cool stuff from the stores out on the street.

Just a friendly reminder of the great bash coming up this next Thursday - July 13th at Fat Fish Blue.

As always, I am looking to bring people together to celebrate our world class artists and technologists. So please join me!
