| - Dan Hardy was in store the day we were there! I totally stood off to the side to stare at him for a bit. Yes, he was signing things, and yes, he was taking pictures with people. But, I'm shy, and I didn't want to make a spectacle. So, I just stood there and stared for a bit. You know, non-stalkerish-like.
We didn't have any plans for anything in this store, other than to waste a bit of time. Right when we walked in, one of the employees told us that Dan Hardy was autographing things at the back, and encouraged us to go meet him.
The store is crammed with clothing. Crammed! And, in those nooks that are devoid of clothing, you'll find memorabilia, gear and posters. It can be a bit daunting trying to maneuver your way through all the racks and such, and trying to find something...!
I actually had to snag an employee to find the sweater I was looking for. Come on, it was bright yellow. You'd think it'd be easy to find in a store of predominantly black items, but no, I totally missed it.
The employee took me right to the rack, then promptly offered to go to the back to look for other sizes, since all they had out were XL and XXL sweaters. (Me: "I'm not an XXL..." and him: "No, and you're definitely not an XL, either.")
He disappeared for a bit, then came back with their smallest size (a medium, and still too big for me). I asked if I could buy the sweater online. No. I asked if they would be getting anymore in. No. He said it was their last Medium. I told him I knew his games, and he laughed and assured me that he wasn't trying to force me into it.
I really did love the sweater, and wanted it. I stood there for a bit, trying to convince myself that dropping $80 on a sweater wasn't a terrible idea. Eighty dollars! For a SWEATER!
I finally relented, because I had fallen in love with the design, the color and the feel of the hoodie (seriously, it's so soft inside!)
Would I go back to the store? Hell yeah - you never know who's going to be in there! Would I buy more items from them? Hmm...I honestly don't know. They're kind of pricey, but for what I got, it may be worth it.
Plus, they totally pulled off a huge piece of shipping tape to give to me, so that I could fashion a lint remover before leaving their store. Yeah, that sweater that I loved so much left its mark on my nice black sweater. I looked like I'd been attacked by a Muppet by the time I paid for it. So, points for being good sports and helping their customers out a bit.
