i'll give you the benefit and assume you've somehow found a way to do better than pearl's and expect you will beat the disgustingly uninviting ways of 6th street. but why did you have to close the van ness store? that's kind of a eggs-in-one-basket choice, don't you think?
i don't buy many supplies-- most of my art is created with either color pencils leftover from my child-life, garbage, or walgreens' water colors-- so perhaps i was never a valued customer. but here i am, discovering i am just a few paint pens shy of finishing a project and between my bad back and sheer laziness, i cannot bring myself to trek all the way down nob hill and throughout the loin just to visit your stupid new warehouse.great, it's a huge store, amazing!
but why on earth do you think any of that matters when your neighbors are all boarded up and tagged to death? you have a security guard for god's sake!
and it's not just that i hate 6th street. the very idea of putting a new store on a block that appears to be a ghost town is a poor choice. actually, even if you'd put yourself smack in the center of the chaos on 5th street, you'd likely do poorly. even the most trafficked parts of market street are designated for tourists who are looking for clothes, cable cars, and other such nonsense. rarely, does someone stop mid-vacation to say, "i really do need some foam-core and liquid latex."
before your move, you were three blocks away from four art school dorms. and sure, with the academy of art's real estate mind, one could say that you're always four blocks away from an art school dorm-- but the only place this falls untrue is your new location.
now, you're in the thick of shadytown, u.s.a; and at the bottom of a hill no matter which direction we're headed afterward. in fact, the flattest way for me to get home is by sucking it up and diving into the sea of tourists.
for paint pens i simply won't do it.
i'm sorry, blick, but you've lost a customer.
utrechtly,
president wishnack
