Downtown Shopper

Wed, 02/13/2008 - 3:52pm — einmaleins

The Downtown Shopper has arrived.

Everyone, and i think we mean around 70,000 household around Olympia should have received this week along with the Shopwise Mailer the 2nd official Downtown Shopper.

So, grap the mailer, head on downtown and shop the amazing stores participating offering a great variety of discounts and deals.

 

See you out there,

Never got it

But then again I may have missed it.  If it isn't a magazine or catalog I ordered, bills or bank statements, or specific communications to me, it all goes in the circular file.  Sometimes I feel I rent a mailbox just to fill a trash can and kill a few more trees...

... I hear ya,

... that's the big challenge we have here in this city: How do you communicate/market anything in this city. There's no real, accepted, wideread/spread information source that one can use to tell the world that you're there and open for business. ... but hey, if you stop by the store, I'll give you the coupon anyway!! mathias

I get a lot

Of new business info from The Olympian...  I have been tempted to stop in your store a couple of times, but I was open carrying and I decided I just wasn't in the mood to test your sensibilities...  Wound up shopping a bunch of other places though, never had a complaint in a business.

I'll stop by tomorow on my way to work if I have time and pick up the flyer.  Thanks.  You have any tea services? (Yeah I know that sounds gay, but I drink tea, not coffee, so may as well do it right...) I'm really looking for a Russian Samovar.

i pretty much have the coolest teapot you've ever seen!

... well that's my take on it at least. Well, since I've been reading so much about OC'ing in Olympia here on Olyblog I wouldn't be weired out if you walk in the store with it, even though I'm German and come from a different perspective on it. looking forward meeting you in person. mathias

When I get the chance

I'll come in and look!  I have an odd work schedule.  Regarding my OC habits, I'm glad I have been able to put a decent spin on it...

My ancestors left Germany in the mid 1600's if I recall correctly and moved to North America.  Combine that with Scotch, Irish, and British heritage I think it means I can fight several wars with myself and drink lots of beer and booze...  :-)

I drink tea also, I love it.

I don't think that makes me insufficiently masculine.

Could you try not to use the word gay as if it were a bad thing? You never know when there's one around.

lol that makes me think that gay folks are aliens.

On a side note, I love tea, and my favorite is chamomile. I don't feel like it lowers my masculinity.

Yargh...

I was trying to be a bit sarcastic.  At any rate it has come up before with me...

S6,

I'm not saying this to ride you about anything, and I'm not trying to tell you what to do. Sarcasm simply doesn't translate at all on the blog. I would say that in this instance, it's not OK even sarcastically to use the word gay in a negative way on the blog. I know you're not a bigoted person, I do know that you have a caustic sense of humor, I would just ask that you try to refrain from using words that can cause harm to others on the blog.

Marzipan

Okay folks, anyone who hasn't been in Einmalien's needs to.  He has the best dang marzipan I have found in a long time...  It was all I could do to keep from buying the entire stock on display!

He also has an awesome tea pot that would work great on the boat...  A bit pricy, but very nice.

Anyway the marzipan is worth stopping in for.  Neat store, cool stuff.  Not really into a lot of the "Euro Culture" but there are some nice simple pieces I want to get for the boat.
