storefronts in SF

...no, i don't have one yet. but i'm looking.
i bounce between focusing on the new venture and trying to deal with the current one, with sodafine. the latter seems more important now, especially since i'm moving so soon!

but - i am looking at a small space in hayes valley and a big one in upper market/castro. it's hard to plan my fall orders for a store that doesn't exist yet, in a location i can't be sure of. i must just trust that my suppliers can handle some tardiness this year.

good news is that rent seems to be cheaper. that will help since my apartment is not cheap, and there is NO space for a shipping office this time. nor a craft room. i'm all business, baby!

hello, testing 1 2 3

wow, i am responsible for a dormant blog! i feel so ashamed..

anyway, if anyone can help out, i need leads for an apartment in san francisco, preferably under $2K if that is doable, and that takes dogs...and also for a storefront. yes, help bring RD SF to your neighborhood! how convenient will that be. send me pics or phone numbers, peeps..

so. i'm packing the house, and figuring out how to redo the store in NY with erin sodafine. it is gonna kick ass! am also trying to figure out the partnership vs LLC thing for the SF store. so much going on this month.
