11.28.08 (Buy Nothing Day)

Worked downtown today, distributing posters that encourage people to buy locally this holiday season. Considering it's "Black Friday" and the busiest (most annoying) shopping day of the entire year it was strange to have to go into so many retail stores without any intention of buying anything. Fittingly though it was "Buy Nothing Day" and Warren and I did just that, with some help from our downtown friends. For part of the day anyway.
We had a lunch delivery going here:
Brett at Superb offered us this in gratitude:
And this:
Afterwards we went here:
And Michelle gave us these:
It wasn't until we delivered some promotional materials out to a national chain restaurant in the mall that we broke down and actually bought something.
When it's happy hour at the end of a holiday Friday and the rare and delicious Anderson Valley Winter Solstice is on tap you just have to indulge.
Well, you don't have to, but we did and it was awesome.
Great way to end a good week, even if we had to pay for some of it.
