There is much more to Cam Miller than being the ginger nephew of St Helier Street Heavyweight, Handsome Steve. He is a pie floater eating champion and an uncle in his own right. In addition to that, Cam is the young go-getting proprietor of The Community Shop at the Abbotsford Convent. It's an eclectic store and gallery space that sells the wares of the studio tenants.
You can buy books, art, crafts, biscuits (individually or in nines), condiments. Newspapers, a cold drink, the elusive Sunny Boy. There is even a fish tank in the counter to give short guys something to look at. Cam also has plans to introduce music and DVDs to his range. Got sore feet? Pick up a nifty watermelon custom-made bike complete with a wooden box on the back to carry your new candles home.
Get down! And once you've done that, go to Cam's shop. I recommend charging in raving on about unlocking the secret chambers of the mind. Cam will politely tell you you're going too far and give you a free pencil so you can write it down instead. The secret is: they are only there to make the place look crafty.
Win:
Free pencil if you mention Hermeneutics.
