Awesome Vegan Boots

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Last year, I bought a pair of Vegan Paratrooper Boots from MooShoes, with nervous expectations. I was a little worried that the material would scratch or pull apart at the stitching. Fortunately, I’m happy to report that a year later (and through a trip to Burning Man) they still look shiny and new. […]

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

Last year, when I did Zombie Camp, I bought a lot of makeup. I ended up buying most of it from Makeup Mania, as they seemed to have the best prices and selection. Overall, I was pretty much too busy to notice anything about the experience except that I got my stuff and […]

Game Surplus: Great Online Boardgame Store

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

I decided to pick up some new board games for this weekend, but my local game shop, Legends, sucks. I checked out a few online shops, but they either didn’t have a good selection, had a crappy website, or had no different shipping options (I needed them to be here before the weekend). […]
