If you haven't visited Wacko yet, you need to go at least once. I've been here for several gallery openings and to shop when I was looking for a unique gift. This place is a wonderland of kitsch, with and an amazing assortment of gifts, books and art. It's always a blast to look around and see what they have in stock.
