I pinched this image from SF Weekly. Really, look at it. I couldn't resist.

Too cool to spend your leisure time playing video games, lurking on facebook, or doing drugs? Do you wanna impress that cute emo kid at the coffeeshop with your knitting abilities? Are you an out of touch shut in who is frightened by the world around you and wishes to be left alone? If you fit any of these categories, this quirky hobby store has what you might be looking for (except for peace of mind). The Hobby Company has everything from model planes to beads to rubber stamps to creepy doll house furnishings, all at an affordable price. I’ve never been described as crafty, so don’t expect to see me hanging out there.
