Most of my soaps and scarves were purchased from going on days where the studios are open to the public. One of my Frida paintings was purchased from one of the resident artists there. Just recently (Nov. 17, 2018), I volunteered as bartender for Winter Street Studios annual Winter Holiday Art Market (WHAM) I had a blast making and serving drinks. Art, awesome people, craft beer, cocktails, and wine. Umm, sounds like a lovely day to me!

Crazy to find but great space for parties! I recently went to the SNAPshots party here to benefit…read moreSNAP (Spay and Neuter Assistance Program). They had food, alcohol freely flowing, a silent auction, and fashion show. Winter Street Studios was able to accommodate all of those things in different areas. The space is bright, open, and can easily be made into whatever you need as far as a space. Problems: -The parking was valet that night, but we opted to park ourselves. You have to walk over railroad tracks to get to the building and then through some gravel. On the way out we had to wait for a train to get to our car. The parking is definitely limited and the building was not at full capacity. - If this place is handicapped accessible then it's well hidden. There are stairs and gravel between parking and the 2nd floor space we were in. Drunk people were wobbly leaving. - The bathroom (yes singular) was a couple of rooms being used by both men and women. It was a little strange, but we worked it out. If there was another bathroom, no one found it. Even with all of that said, the space is great and you can do so much with it! I really liked that there was a DJ after the fashion show in one room and it was quieter in the silent auction section so you could choose your noise level! If you are looking for a place to rent out for a party/auction/benefit/etc... check this place out.

Having never seen Roller Derby before, we decided to take our daughter and her friend one night for…read morea family night out. We had a really good time. Tickets for all four of us ran about 75.00. Parking was 10.00 and the garage was very well laid out and made it easy to find a spot. The layout of the area is good. Easy to grab drinks, hit the restrooms or grab some tee-shirts. Drinks are typically expensive, so just be prepared. We sat in GA, in the upper deck. Great area to really see what's going on. Loved the enthusiasm from all the players and announcers. Everyone really seemed to love the game and be enjoying themselves. We enjoyed the game, though it was pretty late for the little ones, so we only saw one. Still didn't understand the scoring and what was really going on, but kinda got the gist of it by the end. Overall it was a fun night out and we'd do it again.

These are some BAD ASS GIRLS! :D…read more I first saw the movie Whip It which made me excited for this. I was expecting the more old school rink, oval boxing ring shape that slopes inward but this one is like mini ice rink... with no ice of course. Tickets were $12, they serve food, drinks, alcohol if you wish, checking your ID at the front and giving you the appropriate wrist bands. It's first come first serve seating on the outside of the rink. There were audience members sitting on the floor on the actual rink on either side. Not sure if those are special price tickets or VIP only. You can even sit on the floor right in front of the glass which is what we both did because I was there on photo assignment for my class and didn't want many head in the way. They had no objections on bringing in long SLR lenses and cameras. They actually like it because Roller Derby isn't that mainstream and they want more pictures and advertisement. So if you like taking pictures this place is cool! My bf and I arrived a little late. We thought it started at 7:30 but it actually started a 7pm. Therefore it was hard to find parking because their lot was full (semi small lot for the amount of people) and we had to park in the shopping center nearby and walk in. We actually followed one of the Roller Derby girls who was playing in one of the games later on. You have to walk far down to the entrance door. Luckily we had her to follow otherwise we may have been confused on which door to go through. The games were pretty cool, we got really into it. I love their nicknames and the way that they dress, it's fun and different. I'm all about the Non-cookie cutter styled places. So refreshing and far away from a yawn.

It was a hot day and a bit unbearable to be outside as the food became high attractive to flies, the charcuterie and some finger foods were meh, the open bar did make up for it. The setting itself is unique, almost reminded me of going to an outdoor wedding reception, with a beautiful green landscape... Parking is plentiful, though it can get busy, so arriving early definitely helps make things smoother. I'll admit I didn't really understand the sport too much and watching it from our designated viewing pavilion wasn't exactly the best view. It was mainly a networking opportunity for our young professionals' group than a sporting event. The fashion was fun to take in. A lot of fancy derby wear (floral dresses, hats, sharp suits for the men) Definitely a good spot for people watching and seeing a bit of the local wealth on display.. Overall glad to have done it, not sure if I'll go again outside of corporate or group events.
