The weekend was an overwhelming success.  People showed up by the thousands despite intermittent rain and enjoyed great product, people and free booze.  Big thanks to all who showed up.  We’ve started a Flickr group for the event, so please share any photos you took while you were there.

Man Up. event location from the outside.  We’re in the bottom floor.

1035 Market St., between 6th and 7th St.

Man Up starts tomorrow.  Let’s go!

Lagunitas is generously donating some IPA for the event.  We’re not charging for it, but we’d appreciate if you made a donation to the tip jar.  All proceeds will go to the Women’s Initiative for Self Employment, because behind every good man is an even better woman.  As always, must be 21 to drink.

If your favorite brand/store isn’t on here, drop me a line at dave [at] durablegoodsconcern.com.  And, while you’re dropping things, drop by said store and tell them to make miracles happen with us (and you).

Man Up. is an intimate retail showcase aimed at uniting the fragmented San Francisco men’s retail scene.  We’re guys, and we feel neglected.  No one ever does anything for us.  We’re trying to change that by providing awesome product, great brands, interesting people and a little education.  Stop by and see us at the Cal Modern Art Gallery during the last weekend in January.  Man up!

Presenting Man Up. San Francisco - the video. Running around, kicking trashcans and hopping fences never looked so cool. Big thanks to Brian and Austin Chu, Mark Grothman and Steven Simonetti of the Werehaus.  They did an amazing job.
