Who doesn’t love an anti-mass-production concept? It’s a much more personal experience, usually featuring one-of-a-kind or vintage items. Expect nothing short of nostalgic wonder at the Pentaglam Pop-up Shop, 7-9 p.m. Friday. It will set up shop at Dreamer Concepts, an Art Space for Emerging Artists (324 E.

Round about
