At The Buzzer

That Hottness interviews J, a partner in the new At The Buzzer sneaker consignment store in Allston Village.
J: I wanted to open a sneaker consignment shop because there was a void in the Boston area and there’s a lot of sneakerheads in Boston. I want to provide an outlet for buyers and sellers alike. I don’t think we necessarily have a different feel than other stores, but we just have a different business model. We’re also a licensed retailer for New Era, so we’re going to be selling a lot more New Era caps in the near future. We’re not just a consignment shop, but also a cap store.

Cran-Lime Ickey

I briefly flashed indignation at not knowing about the top secret allston blog cabal until I got to their Deep Ellum drink selection.
There were quite a few drinks enjoyed, and the Cranberry Lime Rickey seemed to be the favorite at the table. I enjoyed a mint julep (which they even served in a silver cup) and a Black Water (rye and Moxie).
Them’s some questionable beer bar decisions there. It makes me question your whole frame of reference, the entirety of your existence.
UPDATE: Dogfish. I may have spoken rashly.

Babyspotting

A precious young one invades Herrell’s.
Nobody wanted to make funny faces at Baby, or tickle Baby’s tummy; they wanted to hold Baby. To try Baby on. Indeed, at least three of them picked Baby up without asking. It was a frenzy. It was madness! They grabbed for Baby, the sword in the goddamn stone; and every one of them fancied him or herself the King of Cool. “How funny,” they were all saying by the crack and curl in the corner of their lips as they held it, “is this baby in my freakishly tattooed arms?”

This being Allston, of course, it’s best to clarify that anyone with non-sterile piercings isn’t able to give. Or if you’ve recently traveled somewhere malarial. Or if you’re a man who has had sex with other men. Or if you weigh less than a buck ten. Or if you’ve got the flu or low iron. Or if you’re interested in getting an HIV test. The rest of ya’lls, go get bled.
