Alex, I will take things that POP UP for $1000:
crocus in early spring
ideas
kernels of corn
erections
books
jack in the boxes
Made possible through a patchwork of partnerships: Portland Business Alliance, Portland Development Commission, the Downtown Marketing Initiative, the city offers the gift of Pop Up Shops during the Holiday Season. I work in downtown Portland & serve on the Downtown Retail Council. I know that there are a bunch of vacant commercial spaces available downtown & I think it is a brilliant idea to make use of them while the building owners search for permanent tenants. This is a totally smart & rather Portland-ish idea. The Pop Ups give talented local designers & artisans a place to sell their wares & services, something they couldn't normally afford, & it creates buzz & publicity for the spaces. So not only do both parties involved come out winners, but so do all the shoppers who love their guys because now we have more places to shop for the holidays!
Here is a link for you to get the word from Kenton Collective about Boys’ Fort & even a way for you to help out & to receive a nifty Boys’ Fort gift for your offering. Stop by & wish my boys luck.

The Husband & his business partner in Kenton Collective are set to open their own Pop Up- Boys’ Fort in late autumn. BOYS’ FORT will be a shopping spot for guys & those that love them . The shop will be featuring the works of local artists & designers using re-purposed materials & found objects with other local products & treasures with a decidedly masculine bent, offered for the modern urban male. As the Husband tells it- "think 'Manthropology'!"
This project is already taking up much of the Husband’s time, even with the opening 5 months away. This pleases me because he is focused, forceful, fresh & frisky, willing to jump off the cliff into the unknown, but giving voice to his artistic zeal. The Husband & the talented Jake have been overwhelmed with the beauty & beguilement of the offerings from their artists. The Kenton Collective will host an evening in early June at Post Apocalyptic Bohemia for the participating producers to meet.
