Well the wholesale event with the Japanese went pretty well yesterday. They bought twice as much as the season before. That is a pretty good progression and by any reasonable estimate it was great. Of course when you measure all of the work that went in to it you can't help but be a little disappointed. I guess you hopes are always so much more than your expectations. I can't complain at all. We just have to work at increasing our wholesale market. We have a pretty good start.
We set it up in the new back store and got it all ready for the opening. The buyers sat through the presentation and then went through the rack and photographed and wrote up what they ordered. They did 25 different styles which is pretty great. It took a while to get through them all.
We had presents for them. Italian cookies and a small gift.
They were impressed by my Matsui Bobble head though. So there is that.

That bobblehead is unusually accurate--note the firm grip Matsui's right hand has on his wood.
Matsui has the biggest Jap head ever. Is that where Godzilla came from?
His massive porn stash threatens to make that head explode.
So to speak.
I find it amazing that Japs would come all the way to your Store in Brooklyn to buy stuff.
I wonder if its all just an excuse to travel to NYC on an expense account.
Cookies? What about a model of the Enola Gay?
Seriously, you guys must be proud of how far you've come in the last six years.
We are very proud. But as windbag can tell you every day in retail is a new war.
This was a great sale but I don't get the dough until I deliver in February. So I have to make the new store work and sell like crazy in the mean time.
Don't they have Ichiro Yankee bobble heads?
Congratulations! That is a remarkable accomplishment for a small family run business.
