UPDATE: We’re looking for donations of “little things”. Got a junk drawer or shoebox full of things like: Buttons, Paperclips, Stickers. lost lego bits…. If you have some stuff to spare, drop it off at the store!

On this special night of art, lights and music, Über Cool Stuff is hoping to do something awesomely ridiculous (or is that ridiculously awesome?) 

Do you want to help create something übercool?

We need some help planning and preparing  to make this night all it can be. We are looking for: artists & creative brains, woodworking skills & tools,  A/V techie people (and some gear), possibly volunteers for the night of, and (most of all), fans who know what this object is:

If you want to help out, give us a shout at uber@ubercoolstuff.com or on twitter @ubercoolstuff

Thanks!

What does this mean for the store?

I’m sad to see Patricia go! She has been a great friend and neighbour. Über Cool Stuff would not exist in its present form if Patricia had not put her trust and faith in me.

Patricia: You have been a great support, a fun neighbour, and a good friend.  I know that whatever the future holds for Design Decor, you will make it look great! (find Design Decor on Facebook)

What’s happening with the space?

It’s going to be awesome!

More details are coming very soon, but it will still be a shared space (open to both Dundas and Carling Streets) and it will truly be an Über Cool experience!

Watch for news February 16th!

Meanwhile…

Patricia doesn’t want to move anything she doesn’t have to, so get in there and make her an offer!

 Brand New to Canada!

From Denmark, the land of Lego, comes a simply amazing building toy.

Plus-Plus only comes in one shape, but that one shape can combine in so many ways, you can easily create beautiful 2D images or 3D structures.

Plus-Plus has a unique texture that makes it easy to grip and the shape combines so instinctively  you’ll be assembling a pixel-art masterpiece in no time.

Geek Alert: It’s like Minecraft in the real world!

Available in basic and neon colour sets of 100, 300, 600 and 1200. Suggested for children ages 5+, and any adults who like building stuff!

Special discount pricing available for schools, daycares and educators. For details, email uber@ubercoolstuff.com

Update: We had a great time in the store with a bunch of ubercool kids and parents who came in for a Plus-Plus party. Check out more pictures on our Facebook page!

On Saturday, November 17th, creators from across Ontario joined 12 London-area artists for the store first art-toy exhibition. (But certainly not its last).

Well over 200 people made their way through a packed space to check out creations that ranged from custom Dunnys and Trikkys to original resin casts & sculpts.

The best thing about the show was discovering local artists and giving them a chance to meet. We’re already discussing when ubercool will be hosting our first artists’ meetup. (Probably January, and if you want to know about it, email us.)

A huge thank-you to all our contributing artists. Special thanks to Elaine Geroche of Greatbeard for coordinating our visiting artists, and to Jason  Uszynski and Tom Cameron for in-store demos.

Most pieces will remain on display until November 25th.

You can find a larger gallery on our Facebook page.
