I just got word from H&M's PR firm that the press preview for the Pike Street H&M store is set for Sept. 16, and that Lindsay Lohan's girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, will be DJ'ing the event. Crazy!

My guess is that the doors of the old Kenneth Cole store at 520 Pike St. will swing open to the public on Wednesday, Sept. 17. I'll keep you posted when I get the exact date.

The Southcenter store has been open a month or so, but I've heard that the lines are still out of control there. Hopefully, the downtown store will alleviate some of the crowds.
