A (belated) Happy Movember
We at Urban General Store Headquarters have long been fascinated with the mustache. Be it Stephanie's long string of hirsute Halloween costumes (Fr. Guido Sarducci, Mr. T., Animal) or Rebecca's childhood obsession with Magnum P.I. So you can imagine how excited we were to learn about MOVEMBER (the month formerly known as November), a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.
Unfortunately, we learned about it too late.
While we like to think we keep up on any and all social media/pop culture minutia, we missed this one. Well, until today, November 30. The last day of Movember.
Blame it on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, or a write-up about our Bacon items in the Chicago Tribune. Whatever it was... we missed it.
But, in this season of giving and our love of deadline extensions, we'd like to continue Movember for a few more days. We will donate 5% of any purchase of our novelty Mustache items now through Friday, December 3, 2010 to the Movember Charities.
Check out all our Mustache related items at www.urbangeneralstore.com. Then add your own 'Stachetastic photo on our Facebook Page.

Sony Retires the Cassette Walkman After 30 Years
We were saddened to read the story "Sony Retires the Cassette Walkman After 30 Years" on Mashable.com.
Goodbye Walkman. We loved you. We had your bright yellow "Sport" model. We had numerous off-brand cassette players, each with their vaguely Japanese-sounding high-tech names (GPX, Sansui, Magnavox!), and every possible variety of headphones known to man--each with its own set of foam ear covers, headbands, bendy wrap around the ear attachments and other ear torture devices. But we kept buying you over. And over. And over.
Until our short-lived affair with the portable CD player.
And, then, MP3's.
Which brings us to the present. And while we have chosen to embrace the digital age we know, in our heart, that a mix CD will NEVER be as cool as a Mix Tape.

Which brings us to the present. And while we have chosen to embrace the digital age we know, in our heart, that a mix CD will NEVER be as cool as a Mix Tape.
So we'd like to celebrate the venerable portable music player with these oh-so-retro and hip cassette items. And they're on sale for 15% off now through Sunday, 11/21/2010 at Urbangeneralstore.com.
