DAMN THE MAN!: HOW TO SPEND YOUR 'BUSH FUND'

The time is nigh for all us po' working folk to open our mail to discover our 'found money' has at long last arrived...that's folks, the ECONOMIC STIMULUS BONUS is on it's waaaay! WOO....but wait a minute. Let's not go crazy here. May I suggest-instead of using your bonus on the stimulation of the bottom line for some random huge corporate entity, how about let's support the little guy, the independent entrepreneurs, artists and the like? Of course I have some suggestions. So, below, if you would-some of my favorite indy shops and their cool, awesome wares. Hey-you can be JUST LIKE ME...learn the thrill being asked, "WOW! Where'd you get that cool (bag, shirt, pair of shoes, haircut etc)"????

remember: supporting the little guy is FIGHTING THE MAN

my ALL TIME favorite bag

(see me cool w/bag)

looking slightly deranged, immediately before taking Amelia and friends to see MyChemicalRomance in a parking lot....October 2006
seriously, though I loved this bag...to death...yeah, I need to replace it. But everywhere I went I got comments on it-the doctor's (I spent a lot of time at doctors then-see first picture, sling, broken arm etc etc)-Back to School Night...etcetc. If you don't like attention...like, say, if you're a felon on the lam-don't buy it.
