DRAGATOMI CONT...

Just got back from visiting Agent R and Joanne from Dragatomi over at their new home in Sacramento. As I mentioned the other day, today was their grand opening of their storefront. And, what better day to finally open their doors on one of the most busiest days of every month, Second Saturday. On this particular day, art galleries along the Sacramento strip leave their doors open late inviting guests and art enthusiasts to participate in the Art walk. Not your typical Art walk, this type of gathering boasts guests from all over the Sacramento area as well as vendors showcasing their talents ranging from art, music as well as simply hanging out and hosting parties. Droves come out for this event that starts at 6pm and lasts throughout the night. I have to admit, I'm very proud of our good friends Joanne and Raymond (aka Agent R). Talk about guts and a lot of heart, this couple has managed to open a brick and mortar store amid our nation's financial crisis. While some retailers have closed their doors and other's have scaled back on production due to the recession our nation is facing, these two entrepreneurs decided to open a store on the Sacramento downtown street within walking distance of Upper Playground as well as other Urban Boutiques. Sacramento definitely has things set out for them as Dragatomi is one of the only, if not the only store within miles that carry these types of unique and collectible items. For the most part, people from Sacramento had to drive to San Francisco to step into a type of boutique like this in order to get their hands on vinyl and designer toys. The store setting is immaculate; the ambiance is chill and represents a boutique like environment and the displays are flawless that house cool figures that are designed by some of the most prominent artists in the industry today. So, if you're ever in the Sacramento area, stroll on through and pick up a few things. As a side note, we dropped off a bunch of hats to them as well. So, pick one up if you get a chance.

We supported these kids by purchasing a few of their items (cupcakes, chocolate dipped marshmallows etc) in order to support their cause in fighting human trafficking. Keep up the work guys! We need people like you to help fight an epidemic that is simply depraved and downright illegal
