WOW, WE MADE IT A YEAR!

When Breezy and I opened this place a year ago, we had no idea that our little shop would be embraced so whole heartedly by the local community. It''s pretty inspiring to think that a tiny, independent, and off the beaten path place like Needles & Pens can survive in an ungodly expensive city like San Francisco. The only reason we're still here is because of you all, and we know it. You all are responsible for keeping Independent Publishing, Independent Clothing Design, and the local Art Community thriving. It sounds dorky, but we're all in this together. - Andrew & Breezy, June 30, 2004
