My Grandson and I love Mike's art 1st off. Every Christmas his Grateful Dead Calendar is among the faves at opening presents. My daughter, however, gets Her Yankees Calendar. As I am into The Grateful Dead, she bleeds Her Yankees blue. I have purchased a number of his works through his HappyLife prod., as did my 13 year old Grandson. We had the distinguished honor to have met Mike at the 1st. Woodstock Rock Poster Art Show that he and others brought together a cadre of very talented , and very well known Artist. Many of those folks, i alao have in my collection. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for his talent and visionary products. Getting back to the shop. I have attempted to get to the store right there on Tinker St, few times. However my continued tardiness is 99% of everything I do. That means I get there after closing which Is at 6pm. But as I was going to a local show in town, I had finally arrived on time. But it was already 6 ish. I spoke with the employee working as I scanned the art beautiflly displayed on walls and the many different types of products. From Tie Die T'shirts, with Mike Dubois art and a myriad of interesting visuals. Now I mentioned it was closing time and a very nice Woman, who I suspected was Mrs Dubois and that assumption was correct. And she politely as could be nudged me toward the door. So b thing to the effect of when You come back to visit you'll have to set alarm so you can get here earlier. And of course completely understand this as a forner Manager of retail record stores. Lots to do when store closes. We said are goodbyes and my promise to come much earlier. Very Nice people. Here's the end. I attended the show in town and when 2nd set was going , I ran into Mike Dubois. We said hello and his friend as well. I said Mike I was at Your shop earlier and Your wife in the most subtle friendly way kicked me out at close.. we all had a laugh. In closing His art speaks for itself, a wonderful wife and family. And yes I will go earlier for sure next ride to Woodstock NY I love it there. And Mike with His wife and Family are part of the Fabric along with many artist that I suspect was part of the art I saw on the walls. Now you can take a trip to Woodstock park and walk tinker st with all the shops, just make sure to get to Happylife Productions , so you have time to browse the great store, I...
Read moreI came in here today with my friends and was looking forward to buying some nice things. I found a cool shirt in the $5 bin and was super excited. Unfortunately, there was a $10 credit minimum, so I said “I’ll leave this here and go and pick some thing else out so I meet the card minimum :)” the woman working at the front desk rudely said “you aren’t allowed to walk around the store anymore because your friend was shoplifting” 1.) my friend was not shoplifting 2.) I think it’s disrespectful to refuse me the right to continue shopping because of something my friend supposedly did. I really wanted to buy some jibits for my crocs in addition to the shirt. I was not able to get either of them. I WANTED to meet the card minimum. I WANTED to spend $5 more. If I wanted to shoplift I would not be trying to do either of those things. I’m feeling frustrated and disrespected. I would not bother coming here. The store “Not fade away” is a 5 minute walk away, has all of the same stuff, and has much...
Read moreNever going here again, worst customer service ever! So much for even calling it happy. The blonde woman who thinks working at this place makes her better than everyone else doesn't even smile or greet you. She accused me of taking a tank top that after I changed my mind put back exactly where I found it, she actually followed me into another store only to look pretty stupid when she confronted me and I literally had to go back into their store to show them how right in front of their face was the tank top. She does not belong working there, customer service is not her speciality , nor is...
