Thanks to Chris for sending where Kayu will open this summer: (more…)
Ed. Note: While I have no doubt that “seat fillers” is a real thing, I thought for sure this listing was fake/satire. But it’s still live so I’m wondering if it’s actually real? $1000 seems like a crazy amount for a seat filler. If it’s fake though, wouldn’t it have been removed by now? Is this thing real or fake?

Curious, STAY TUNED.
