WE HAD SOME VERY SPECIAL VISITORS TODAY!

02/26/2011

Today Golden Rule was blessed with a visit by my high school friend Crystal Rice (who was instrumental in the clearing out of my mother's house) and pre-school friend Mara Nunamaker (who I used to play mermaid with at YMCA day camp). Super rad.

In the $5 pile Crystal found herself on of the infamous I HATE HANFORD shirts we made for our senior yell! If any of you other Hanford haters want to take a trip down memory lane, we still have two white shirts and 3 black shirts in our collection. Xoxo.

YAY FOR MY NEW CHESTER WALLACE BAG!

01/16/2011

0 Comments

One of our favorite people in the world, Patrick Long (the man behind Chester Wallace), stopped by yesterday with the perfect "Wynde Bag" (that's what he calls it!). For some time now we'd been threatening to do a trade, but the perfect color/material combination hadn't quite walked in the door at Stand Up Comedy up front or Canoe downtown. Good thing I waited:

I'd planned on using this bad boy as a overnight/art supply/sauna supply/extra stuff bag, but after getting it, I'm afraid I'm going to have to retire my incredible bag by Dean Accessories in Silverlake, LA, whatever. This Chester Wallace magic has all the perfect pockets in all the right places (the other bag was sans pockets) and it stands up nice in the car (the other flopped over).

We love it when people come in and have a great experience and unbeknown to us also happen to be bloggers. These kids were SUPER nice, good for procrastinatory gibber-jabber and waffle cart referrals, and we're super grateful for the inclusion!

Also, check out their e-commerce site! It is EXACTLY what we should someday aspire to have ours look like (hint-hint web developers out there who want 20% off for life . . . ) and all you cat lovers will love their carefully curated dreamcat blog, too!

MORE DANCE THERAPY EPISODES ADDED

11/12/2010

I was interrupted by visitors during my morning dance by myself session. Multitasking between conversation and dancing is a challenge. They do involve the company of Melissa De Merit and Kindra Adair and a dancing Mr. Yam Yams, however.

If you like the music in these 1, 2, 3 videos, you can check out Jordaan Mason and the Horse Museum on their MySpace. I ordered the CD and cannot stop listening to it. I super duper hope they come to Portland some day and play here!

Re: photos of giant wooden penis purchased during First Friday, but totally hilarious out-of-context.

SEPTMEMBER FIRST FRIDAY = HUGE SUCCESS

09/03/2010

0 Comments

We had our best night ever in no small part due to the awesome press we got from The Portland Mercury, Rob Wilcox's Portland Or Us Now Blog, Portland Monthly Magazine's Culturephile Arts Blog, and PDX Ultra. Thank you, members of the press, for paying attention to our press releases. Thank you, also, loyal friends of Golden Rule and Delphine Bedient! Here are some snapshots we took during the event to curb our social anxiety (the hiding behind a camera really helps with this).

Lots of people impressed with the tea bag installation

We had double-dutch in the parking lot!

It was less sardines in a can due to the new floor arrangement

One of the lovely Liegels

This double-dutch business is harder than it looks

Miss Melissa De Merit, volunteer/consigner extraordinaire

Volkswaffle, our neighbors on 7th and Burnside, catered with savory and sweet waffle action

Howard DJed his wonderful tunes and was yelled at around 8:30 by a very threatining neighbor ;(

This stranger has a nice profile

Mark and Ronit chilling outside

Rachelle Waldie, post double-dutch action

Navid and Delphine looking very pleased, as well they should be

Huge thanks, also, to all the customers who broke the retail rule and actually looked in drawers. We were a little suspicious of putting 1/3 of our artifact/jewelry inventory in the 10-drawer flat files, but up overcame this obstacle and explored within. Huge thanks to everyone for not drinking two cases of wine, like last month! One case we can handle, two cases, not so much! Super huge thanks, also, to Jamieson and Joe for manning the transaction table, and to Ronit or taking photos (not these). Xoxo.

WE SOLD MOM'S GIANT WOODEN PENIS

09/03/2010

Many folks told us not to part with our mother's giant wooden penis. We tried to leave it in California. Somehow it got packed. Back at home in Portland we tried to cover it in a brown paper bag, but a housemate kept putting it on the mantle, or the kitchen counter. We finally brought it to the space in July, with a tag that said, " Nice piece of wood. Inquire at counter for price."

This lovely couple from Vancouver, BC, finally took it away from us. You can see it sticking out of the fellow's bag in the photos above, yes? Well, apparently he has a female friend with whom he trades phallic birthday presents. Each year they try to one-up each other. He's pretty sure this year he'll take the cake. Her birthday is coming soon, so we're hoping for photos.
