Old School Field Trip

Deidre and I are going on a field trip tomorrow morning to gather the desks and chairs for the upcoming exhibition, so the shop will be closed in the morning. I will try to be back by 1pm (ish). Then we'll be open until 9pm for First Thursday. (Don't forget our BIG SALE! 20%-50% off items in the store. Including brand-new Galison pretty file totes, magazine holders, mousepads and other things that just arrived.)
