My therapist made me promise to not work 5 12s until my body crashes out again, so our hours are changing! As of November First, we are opening later (1pm) but staying open late for all your evening whimsy needs (10pm).
See y'all in the afternoon!

(We wanted to get a picture of the portcullis so badly! But there was no way to get a picture without inadvertently getting people in frame, and that felt inconsiderate. If you're in Seattle, go check it out for yourself? Here's a picture of the sign out front, at least.)
