The Gallery On 17th

If you haven't been there by now, please stay under your rock. So as I have been saying I am trying to build a greater Calgary base within my readership and to do that I am featuring things that share the essence and beliefs I hold with this blog; and things that I just find dope.

so if you don't know about the Gallery or have yet to shop there I suggest you get there ASAP. Imagine if you will If you took an Art Gallery, and a clothing store mixed into one. But it really doesn't do it justice, because in some cases the clothes are the canvas; you can find some pretty nutty stuff if you take a gander inside. I've been in a couple times copped couple items now and then. I went to "Box This". And well now I am here telling you come find this place out. I don't want to hype it up and say it's the greatest store ever, LIKE ACTUALLY! But it's a decent place and worth a look, and second look. The Gallery is Aaron Ellard's brain child, a dude I don't know personally yet, but when I told him what I wanted to do was pretty cool about the whole thing. But who would seriously turn down free publicity? From the little I talked to him seems like a nice guy.

The store itself carries one of my favorite labels, Upper Playground. And I know most enthusiasts of brand name clothing especially in the LS culture like to keep things on the DL. Well let me first refer you all to this post. I believe things are meant to be shared. Clothing, ideas, food, stores, ideologies. For all your motherfuckers fearing that Upper Playground will saturate and get - for lack of a better word - played; blow me slowly. This is my one stop destination for UP and I don't know of any other place in Calgary that carries it, and with this kind of volume. And I also got word that by the end of this month they'll be getting a shipment from In4ma+ion; another label I'm feelin'. So no I'm not riding Gallery dick and I was not paid or asked to do this, I spread love, that's the Brooklyn way.

So if you find yourself on 17th by Red Mile Ice Cream pop in and grab some gear. And be sure to tell them I sent you.
