Two friends. One race. Two laps. No prisoners.
Val and Pete have been swimming together every morning for the past seventeen years. Once a year they have a race, two laps up and back.

Hey, friends. Look for our shop update tomorrow, March 1st.
Spring is just around the corner and although this winter has been crazy and unusually mild it will feel good to see the sun more and watch everything turn green once again. We are working on the next event at our shop slated for April, stay tuned on our blog and our facebook page more details in the next few weeks.
Happy leap day to you!

outpost: art in the age
Monday, February 6th, 2012
Meet Walter Benjamin, the prolific 20th century German cultural theorist who was the inspiration to Art in The Age with his critical essay, “The Work of Art In The Age of Mechanical Reproduction” (1936). In keeping with Mr. Walter Benjamin’s theories, Art In The Age, a boutique/gallery space in Philadelphia, strives to empower artists who produce high quality work marked by fine craftsmanship and intellectual rigor. As well as operating their shop, they also are the creators of organic artisan spirits: ROOT, SNAP, RHUBY.
We are super excited that Art In the Age will be joining us at our opening party on Friday night. They will be providing samples of their organic spirits with amazing cocktails for all to enjoy. You can purchase ROOT, SNAP + RHUBY online on their website or find these spirits in select stores across PA. Not at your local store? Just ask them! We recommend it.
Watch the short about The Story of Root and its roots right here in Philadelphia history.

Valentines day happens to be one of their favorite holidays and they’ve been busy making lots of awesome Something’s Hiding In Here goods for the occasion.
