The Recession Vacation.

Posted on Saturday, June 6th, 2009 by Francesca

Truth be told the economy has butchered our near future. We all have either lost our job or are working ourselves to the ground dying to keep it.

Our entitled vacation has become a selfish request and we no longer can look forward to the anual travel agents, plane and tourist tickets.

Lego has a plan. Getting their own company out of near bankruptcy, they have come up with a way to put all of that college Art History to use.

Travel to India in your living room, Lego has come with out an architecture series of Lego products beginning with the Taj Mahal. Next to come is a Frank Lloyd Wright set.  Build your own Guggenheim while eating a cheeseburger and not lifting a leg!  A perfect excuse to still play with Legos.

We thought that Circuit City and Linens & Things shut down because of artistic differences, not a lack of sales and lack of being a good store. But, fine, we’re finally breaking down after the closing of the Virgin Megastore (we really loved those Flight of the Conchord T-shirts), we’re in a recession.

Today, we noticed this lovely list of free food at bars at Black Book Magazine. We like food and free is charming enough for us to check it out. (Free Nachos gets me everytime.) Other than that list and freeganism, our best recession suggestion is to take advantage of our free shipping coupon on purchases over $40, VDAY09, before 2/28. (more…)
