Sheesh! Haven’t been present here since Thanksgiving. I appreciate social media for a few reasons, but most importantly I’ve always liked seeing the pictures my friends and family post. However, I struggle at work to post interesting and cool content because this is my normal, this is home. When customers come in the door and remark at what a cool place our loft is, I get the chance to briefly see it through their eyes. The big, shiny floor. The well organized disorganization. The machines, the tools, the fabrics, the hardware. These photos were taken in the rigging shop in the basement. I spend a lot of time down here and upstairs, but this is the space that was my dad’s and is now mine. Many of his things remain on the walls, which is both heartbreaking and comforting all at the same time. Just a couple days ago a customer-friend was here thinking back to the early 90’s when he used to ride mountain bikes with my dad. Bob Chace is a goddam legend ❤️
