Growing up, I lived very close to the Ontario/New York border. Everything I know about Buffalo, I learned from their local television channels that would come in crystal clear on my TV. To me, Buffalo was a place where everyone sued everyone when they got into car accidents. A place where they have two Arby's restaurants for every three residents. A place where they'd let anyone have a commercial on TV, regardless of how low their budget was. Where Celino and Barnes ruled with an iron fist. And where the everyone pronounced words like "Bar" and "Cannibal Corpse", "Berr" and "Melodious".
Basically, it was paradise.
But last month I learned a little more about Buffalo. You see, besides all the weird and wonderful things Buffalo puts on TV, it's also home to one of the greatest indie shops in North America. Scratch that. The world. Splash Panic has been setting the awesome bar miles high ever since they opened early last year.
Splash Panic was started by two handsome devils: Amanda and Andrew. (A.K.A. The Double A Alliance) Not only is their shop superbly decorated, fun, and always chock full of babes, but they are also the only shop in New York to carry such brands as Design By Humans, Threadless, Alternative Apparel, American Apparel, Holly Hue, Indi Denim, and as of last week...*drumroll*...Pause Designs!
Needless to say, they are exactly what we look for in a shop, and we're quite excited about working with them.
I could try and explain how awesome this shop is here, but you're really better off going to see it for yourself:
