Renegade Craft Fair SF - Recap!
July 18, 2008 | Events
Hey everyone! We got back from Renegade Craft Fair in SF this past weekend and what a great time we had! The fair was held in San Francisco for the first time ever and we were really excited to participate (having participated in Renegade Brooklyn when we were located in NY).
We drove down on Friday in a rented Toyota Sienna. I booked a “minivan” for all our stuff and didn’t really have high hopes and rarely if ever do I praise a car, but the Toyota Sienna rocked! I mean with 16 cup holders, an AV plug for your iPod and huge windows that roll down in the back, how could you go wrong? Anyway, it was a breeze and super comfy for the 6 hour drive from LA to SF.
We stayed at the Hotel Tomo in Japantown, which I was really excited about. It’s a Best Western that’s been redone in Japanese pop culture inspired look, with huge murals and cool ikea-ish furniture and flat screen tvs. I would highly recommend this hotel, it was super clean, the staff was really friendly and helpful, and it was also super easy and close to Fort Mason where Renegade was going on.
Things were really busy, but we had my little sister Diana, me and Emilio (who designed our latest postcards) all there to help out. I barely got a chance to walk around, but was able to do so for a little bit and one of the best things about doing these craft fairs (besides seeing all the great work!) is meeting lots of great people. We got to meet lots of longtime vendors, longtime customers, and possible new consigners. Big thanks to Sue and Kathleen who run Renegade for making this happen!
Here are more pics of our booth! Enjoy! We can’t wait till next year!
Stay tuned…more new items coming your way!!
