Mayday Underground: Better Late Than Never

Okay, so the Mayday Underground show was about a month ago.  Things have been extremely busy for me… with Concepcioun and otherwise, so it has been difficult for me to carve out time to post.

So here I am, a month later, posting about the show:

Where else to post signage. On top of a Land Rover, of course.

It was a first time both Amanda and Casey set up a show. They did a great job. The show was covered in all the indie blogs: Deviant, Bust, Etsy forums, Makezine, Craftster… just to name a few. It was in Rochester, located near the Genesee Brewery on St. Paul Street. A rustic location, but a usual location for an indie show.

Genesee Bear & Ale brewery is located right across the street from where the show took place.

Overall, not a profitable turnout for Concepcioun. However, per usual at these events I made some great connections with great artisans, and made some awesome trades as well.

Here is a list of some of my personal favorites from the show:

Beauty In The Eye Textiles and Jewelry – absolutely awesome hand woven fabrics

Latherati Soap Foundry – great soaps and perfumes, my favorites scent collections include Sinister, Beguile, and Queen Bee

Mars: Inter-stellar love craft – My neighbor at the show. She makes fantastic silver jewerly.

pen & inklings – extremely detailed and entertaining pen & ink drawings

Whimsical Wonders – very cool jewerly made from repurposed spoons. I finally got the spoon ring and matching bracelet that I’ve been wanting for a while! I LOVE them.
