Recently, Tita had a brainstorming meeting with a few Conspirators to hold a flea market gimmick at Conspiracy every Saturday starting September 30th. The whole area within Conspiracy will be utilized for various “stall owners” to sell various items which would include pre-owned stuff, food/beverage, house items, knick-knacks, and services. An estimated 25 Conspi tables [...]
