posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2007 by While catching up on feeds during lunch yesterday, I noticed a post on Mark Maynard's site about shopping locally. Amanda and I had talked about, while out filming Pedal, doing gift shopping this year from independent people: indie filmmakers, penniless musicians, non-franchise stores, et cetera.
I really love the idea of shopping on a person to person level. Unfortunately, I am unable to afford a plane ticket to Michigan for the weekend of the Shadow Art Fair, but I still plan on buying from those local (Detroit'ish) artist through their websites.
I just felt that the "Buy Local Michigan / Shop Ypsi" campaign was a great thing, and wanted to help spread the word as much as I can.

thats really neat that your doing that this holiday :) me on the other hand am completely broke and i'm probably getting nothing :(
2:48 PM, November 29, 2007Broke seems to be the common denominator in the gift giving equation this year. I've decided to limit my spending to 25 cents per person;P Bubble gum machines here I come....
9:35 AM, December 01, 2007I plan on shopping for all my Christmas gifts at this little local store up the street. They seem to have a lot at such low prices. They store I think is called Wal-mart. Good Slimes =0) HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
12:20 AM, December 02, 2007I'm glad you like what we're doing here, Mike. Thanks for helping to spread the word.
10:56 AM, December 03, 2007@Nick: Broke is always fun during the holidays :P
6:46 PM, December 03, 2007@Erica: You can give my 25 cents to a charity of your choice :) or if you already bought the gum, you can donate that... to GoodWill or something...
@Justin: Walmart is as local as it gets :P
@Anon: Thanks :) it's my pleasure... I wish I saw more of this...
