there was a party for xyyz magazine today at roots. the event was sponsored by johnny walker.
let's just say it was a LONG night. i didn't get out of the store until a few minutes past 11pm.
the whole night wasn't a complete bummer though. why? cause k-os was in the house! he spent most of the night just chilling out & talking with some ladies & sipping on his scotch. as he was leaving, he gave me a head-nod, and i gave him a wave back. no not one of those grade 2 waves, but a hand up in the air kind of wave.

celebrities...
i had my first celebrity-sighting at roots today. well it was a little more than a sighting. i helped him pick out a couple of pairs of gloves and a couple of sweaters. even fished a size for him from the stock room. who was this mystery guest? it was peter mansbridge from CBC!
i don't mean to offend but he looked a little older and slightly chubbier than on tv. he was dressed really casually with a pair of jeans and a roots sweater & jacket from a previous purchase. he was also wearing his glasses. he looked like your average grandparent. i actually didn't recognize who he was until he spoke.
he had that soothing demeanor and still added his 'thank yous' and 'pleases' to his sentences. that's what impresses me lately. people that shop without looking at price tags but still have enough gentility to say please and thank you.
speaking of celebrities... the elves/midgets/little men/what's the correct term??? from the movie "fred claus" are going to be at the bay/bloor roots on wednesday from 4-6pm to do some gift wrapping and some holiday cookie decorations. drop by if you're in the area. i unfortunately can't be there.
i had another pretty good day in terms of sales. (i promise i'll stop bragging about my sales after this post!) i sold ~$1900 worth of stuff. considering it was a rainy monday, that's pretty darn good.

ROOTS!
so i've found a "part-time" job at roots on bay and bloor. i put part-time within quotations because that was the initial intention but it's more or less turned into a 4+ day, 32+ hour FULL-time job.
so far it's tiring but i'm still having a good time. i don't look at the roots logo and shudder. not yet anyway.
i had some monster sales this weekend though. i sold like $2300+ yesterday and another $2600+ today. trust me. those are pretty solid numbers.
i was a little disappointed yesterday when i found out that the founders of roots, michael budman and don green are actually originally from detroit, michigan. and here i was thinking that roots was 110% canadian.
drop by and get an early start on your x'mas shopping. don't be shy. when?
1. thurs. nov. 15 ~ sun. nov. 18 are "customer appreciation days". everything in the store is 25% off of the LOWEST TICKETED price. you don't need me for this. drop by any roots you want.
2. thurs. nov. 22 ~ sun. nov. 25 are "family and friends days". everything in the store is 50% off of the ORIGINAL price. you need me for this. so drop by bay/bloor roots on fri/sat/sun. e-mail me and i'll let you know my sched. the only catch is that you have to pay CASH. you know what they say... CASH IS KING!
