in typical san diego fashion, no one sold a damn thing. there were a few really good chairs there though. the two i point out in the video were my favorites. the white, light chair was made by jason wilmot of yesca studio. coincidentally, he had a chair in another show i did a few years ago. the other chair was made by joey vaiasuso of the wood fx gallery. he makes really good stuff.

anyway, the video.
