Everything flowed really organically. The morning started off very quiet. Customers started to flow in right before the yoga class started. We had a busy morning of toasts/bagels/yogurt being sold. Yoga had 6 or 7 attendees! The processing class started at 11:30 and the far side of the shop was completely full for it! A great turnout. The DJ and booths started to set up a little after 11:30 and it was a great turnout. Had people hanging out and walking around outside. The DJ was great. Sesa made fresh chai for the tasting and Chloe from Casa Brasil did kalita pour overs for tasting. Tx Sake and beer started a little after 2. Everything moved closer to being covered around 3. The booths packed up around then because it was going to storm. Good Snake came around 1 and painted the birthday card for us. Sho performed inside and did great! What an amazing performance. The crowd loved him. Between Sho and Reiko, Trey and Andrew came in as their characters and did a GREAT performance!! Reiko was a lovely ending to the evening :-) We had a great turnout for the raffle too. $121 in raffle proceeds for Pop Up Birthday! What a great great day! I am filled with such joy.
