This past weekend we had a mini-book club meeting in the new Whimsy--which was great for so many reasons. One of the reasons is that I got to see how people navigated driving here. I learned that GPS is going to take you on a wild ride when in reality, it's pretty mundane. So I attached some photos so hopefully you'll forego the GPS and trust me. Scary, I know.
Another thing that came up is that there's a memorial service happening next door in the gym at the same time as the grand opening. I got approval to leave the "Girls" entrance open for this coming weekend. This is for one time only. Normally, customers need to go through the main entrance. The Girls entrance is next to the room where the Whimsy is located, so you'll be delivered right to my doorstep. This will ensure that customers don't end up being accidentally whisked into a memorial. There's a metaphor in all of this, I'm just too tired to put my finger on it right now.
And of course another thing (I learned too much this past weekend). There's some issue with people using the front parking lot. It has nothing to do with the fine folks at the VCLC, and more to do with the town so until that's worked out, please park in the large lot behind the building and use the sidewalk to walk to the front.
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to contact me. I know this sounds like a lot but it's all really easy. Just follow my maps and you'll do great. And hopefully, I'll see you all this weekend either Saturday to (10 am to 5 pm) or Sunday (10 am to 4 pm) for the grand opening. The place is looking great and as of right now I have more than ten vendors moved in. Yay!
