I wanted to let folks know that Gail Shen, funky creative proprietess of Gail's China Town, passed over yesterday afternoon after a bout with cancer. I didn't know Gail well but I always always enjoyed running into her on the street and visiting her shop for those strange doodaddies that she had in plenty. She was an incredible artist and a wonderfully playful person.
She will be missed by me and my daughter.

Sun, February 3, 2008 - 4:38 AMYeah, the place was packed. I picked up a handful of 'squirt carp' for a collage. You can't get that same Chinatown ambience or quirky selection anywhere else in Columbia.
Bye, Gail, and thanks!
