The location has a cool, eclectic vibe thanks to the owners' creative touch; they specialize in refurbishing materials into one-of-a-kind furniture and decor. What's really cool is that most everything is for sale, so you can literally eat, drink, and shop. The drinks are solid, and reasonably priced. While the food menu is limited, we have enjoyed everything we tried. Outside there is a piano on the patio and live music often fills the air. Overall it is a great hangout that will surround you with creativity.

By far the best experience I've had getting tattooed. I got a gnarly deathhead moth on my throat…read moresplit into two session (bc Rob knew when to call it a day depending on your bodies reaction--good call). Both sessions were as chill as getting your throat tattooed could be. No small talk while in the moment had me in an almost trance and really helped me to love the proces, or ritual of it all. I was expecting to be paying an arm and a leg for the quality of work, but he stayed on the very low end of my budget which I am super grateful for (tip yr artists if they are that good, friendly, and just as invested as you in making sure it's gonna come out awesome with the best placement). Rob is one of those artists ya want for life for sure!

I'm sure they are amazing at what they do, however when they don't answer their phone after…read morerepeated attempts to contact them it gets rather annoying and frustrating. When I decided to just go up to the shop today to see if I could speak with someone, the door was locked, mind you the posted hours said they would be open. They have no recent updates on socials and their website is "under construction". I guess they've closed down, or are just extremely selective about clientele.

Right before the pandemic, I really enjoyed going to the meetings. I felt less isolated and was…read moremaking progress. I was grateful for it, and also grateful the building felt accessible to me, as the meetings were ground level. Fast forward to more recently- I was excited to go back, post pandemic. I spoke with the woman at the desk, and asked about the current meetings. I revealed I was a recovering agoraphobic and would have a hard time going up the stairs or using the elevator. I believe she showed me the stairs. She did not mention online meetings. I really didn't feel supported at all. I remembered recently that I had asked about the peer support, prior to that, where someone comes to your home. I thought that would be good for me. I was told I would get a phone call to discuss more details. Call never came. Don't let people like me fall through the cracks.

I'm a big…read moresupporter of local companies and artists so when the framers at Pat Catans where constantly not there to help me I switched to this framer and I can't see myself going anywhere else. There is a wide selection of frames and mattes to choose from, as well as UV protective glass. The owner always helps you pick and choose as well as offering different double matting combinations which are beautiful. There is also a golden retriever that hangs out at work with the owner, which for me is always a plus, he is friendly and a big love!

I did skip 1 of the night swims though. Lots of a variety of panels (as shown by the schedule pictures). It's best to buy tickets while on sale in January. Badge pick up is pretty busy the first day, but it moves pretty quick and is easy any time after. Lines tend to be longest for the otaku market and craft fair. Dealer's room and artist alley are varied yet roomy. This con is actually pretty well priced since it's a popular venue and big events. The wrestling tournament is also extremely popular. List goes on, but basically there's something for everyone.
