sounds like a rad show to me!

Mark Todd Bwana Spoons Martin Ontiveros Jesse Balmer
On View: March 14th - April 5th 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday March 14th 7pm - late
Bwana, Martin, and Jesse will be in attendance and refreshments will be served

 

not a lot of chatter about this show...

edit/

anymore info on the show specifics? will there be custom toys?

 

If you thought parking at Super 7 was bad...this will be 10x worse

 

S7 parking is easy with the garage right there, is there no garage by DP or something?

 

there's a garage in the area (with narrow spaces)... if that's filled, looking for parking in the area will make you want to double punch yourself in the face. i like the restaurants in the area

 

It is in North Beach:
Double Punch
1821 Powell St
San Francisco, CA 94133-2809

There is one...I think it is a block away (far enough for some). Also, DP is very small. It has 2 floors and the whole thing...store floor + gallery...is a little over half the size of S7's floor. There's a burger place (Burgermeister) near by and a great place for chicken (Il Pollaio) along with some other places a block or 2 away (and an awesome hat store, Goorin) so if you're planning on going, go early, grab a bite to eat, then walk over.
There is no mention of a toy or customs being sold at the show.

 

here's the garage i'm talking about... got decent yelp reviews

ten times worse? infinity worse!!!

there has been twice where i just said fuck it and left because there just isnt any parking around.

 

It looks like Bwana will have at least 1 Globby at the show...

from Bwana's flickr...the black one is going to be at Double Punch

 

wonder why Bwana or Martin hasn't posted anything on this show? I just read about the Grasshut Amanda Vissell, Ledbetter, etc show but no news on this one... nothing even posted on the Ningyoushi site... strange

 

I contacted the store and was told that they were not expecting any new or custom toys from Martin. But it still sounds like a great show. I won't be able to make it, so there's one more available parking spot!

 

North Beach? I will be there.

 

i drove around for a good half hour looking for parking... no luck.
we left and headed for S7. when we got out of the parking structure we could see the metal bars going down on S7

 

man that sucks

would love to hear a report from anyone who went

 

We tried to make it but got sidelined with other plans. Does anyone have a picture of the custom dolly?

 

It looks like Tara made it to the show. I gave up on parking and went home.

Looks like there was a Killer and Dolly production pieces as well as a few customs. I'll bet that they're still available since Doubly Punch isn't really know for carrying Gargamel's toys (even though they have in the past).

no Dolly or Killer productions pieces...but then I didn't really look around the site.

 

Haha Bert, You beat me to posting! I made it to the show on sunday. I knew from previous shows at Double Punch that I'll never find parking especially on saturday nights.

 

You shoulda told me, I would have tried to make it out. It seems like nothing sold on the night of the show. Kinda makes me wonder if there were any people that night.

 

I was there with Dave Saturday night. We purchased a fantastic Steven painting, and talked to Bwana and Martin. The parking gods smiled upon us and we got easy parking and even had some Golden Boy pizza prior. Great show!

 

really wish i could have made it, as i like going to double punch (and shoe browsing next door). will try to pop in sometime during the week... pics look rad!

 

Thanks for sharing pics! The Dolly was gorgeous! Lucky to whoever got her!

 

stopped by to check out the show yesterday... very worth the trip (especially if you've never been to the store before).

they still have a martin header left! & bwana's set up was awesome

wish recon/nort was still next door... darkside is just OK (although still a nice selection of shoes)

 

yea congrats to whoever got the og ojo zombie header art, it was half the price of what they wanted at that kaiju invades show

 

If people are coming in tomorrow for the show at S7, maybe we can meet up early and head to DP before going to S7.

 

Sounds like a good idea.
