Big Cartel ScreenshotI came across this nice little eCommerce solution yesterday right after I met with a friend to help her set up a store to sell custom headbands and accessories. It seems like a great solution for the small online store with a few products.Big Cartel is easy to set up, connects with your paypal account, can track inventory and apply discount codes.

Big Cartel has a free package for stores with up to 5 products. From there it costs $9.99 a month for up to 25 products and $19.99 a month for up to 100. They do not charge any transaction fees. Big Cartel boasts some nice example stores which make it clear that the customization ability is robust enough that it will work anyone. It’s great to add another eComm option to the arsenal.

Example Stores:

Hype Machine – http://merch.hypem.com/
Backseat Vintage – http://backseatvintage.bigcartel.com/

Baseroots Theater Company received glowing reviews from The Oregonian, Willamette Week and Portland Mercury on its second ever show, Radio Golf (View Play details), a play by August Wilson.

“Portland Playhouse’s current production of Radio Golf, the 10th and final play in August Wilson’s Pittsburgh cycle, is easily their most polished show to date.”

Portland Mercury- April 8th, 2010
The Unexpectedly Timely Radio Golf

Radio Golf,directed by co-founder Brian Weaver and co-produced with Baseroots Theatre Company, is the young company’s strongest production yet, a moving, infuriating enterprise, well acted, directed and designed

Willamette Week – April 7th, 2010
Radio Golf (Portland Playhouse and Baseroots Theatre Company)

Best of all, with the aid of director Brian Weaver they’ve found ways to really show the nuances of all the unfolding relationships: Sterling’s innate distrust of Roosevelt, Mame’s devotion to and frustration with Harmond, both the lasting camaraderie and the widening gulf between  Harmond and Roosevelt, and so on. There’s great humor throughout, yet moments of profound connection or bitter division land with clarity and force. They bring the battlefield to life.
