This story is not for the faint of heart or the weak willed, it’s a tale of two legends and their journey through the most amazing shopping & eating play-date this city has ever seen.  Come with us on their journey, and witness as our two heroes navigate the perils of shopping on a budget in cute boutiques and wine bars.  But be careful, it may make your fucking brain explode

Getting Ready For the Big Date

Our journey begins just as so many other hero’s journeys have throughout hallowed antiquity.  Through the doors of beauty parlors and medical marijuana clinics.  Stuart arrives at his Doctor’s appointment, where he would have been on time if it weren’t for his ‘chronic glaucoma’. @ MMJ Doctor

After passing his medical exam our fare hero wishes to celebrate his victory at the finest Japanese Booze shop in the land, True Sake

Ashley finishes her hair appointment, and like any folk hero would, she takes her Membo Pass to get her nails did.  She is the fucking Joan of Arc of personal beauty. @ Pampered Girl

Meanwhile, Stuart’s victory celebration continues.   And like any insanely famous diva, his visit to True Sake will forever be remembered for it’s merriment, indulgence, and duration bordering on loitering

It’s almost time to meet-up for the big play date with Ashley, So Stuart does the most incredible, responsible and brave act a man can do for his lady, he sobers up before lunch. @ Artis Coffee
