The door was wide open one time I went by, and I poked my head inside to ask when they thought they would be opening. Apart from not even remotely answering my question, the man nearest the door that responded to me was INCREDIBLY rude.

So on top of dropping the ball on opening on time, when I show up to spend literally hundreds of dollars that will pay these people's wages, they treated me with such utter disrespect I almost don't even want to go back (almost).

Disappoint.

Edit: took a pic, will post when I get home to my desktop (posting this from mobile right now).
Hey everyone. I apologize that I can't say anything about it, but the pop-up shops are cancelled.... The art will still be available online, and I'll update with the new details after we get a chance to re-organize a bit. If it turns out that there's anything about the shops that I can say, I'll share that as well.

@unclear: From what little I heard from the ground today, it sounds like everyone there was having a super stressful time. That's no excuse for anyone to be rude, though, and I know that kind of thing lingers and leaves a bad taste. We only sent two people to SF, and it doesn't sound like it was one of ours, but PM me and we'll try to work out something to send you to make up for you having to go away bummed.
