Wooosh!
The utter convenience and invisible cost of letting Google take over Lucky's online affairs is becoming increasingly difficult to not embrace. Blog much easier to update. Up to date is good, especially with monthly gallery shows and new products arriving several times a week. Yep, it will be done.

Lucky's in the Voice
Thanks to Daniel Spriensma of Langara's student newspaper The Voice for the best and first such feature article mostly about Lucky's. I'm so glad Owen Plummer's picture, not mine, was used in print, and appreciate that he focused on what makes Lucky's unique.
