Hot, fashionable, and crowded - no, Thomas Friedman isn't debuting a clothing line. Sacramento boutique Bows and Arrows is holding the first Sellout Buyout of the year, and it's sure to be packed with people, clothes, and an array of whimsical and crafty art items. Sellout Buyout is a lively and loud fashion/art market that gives relatively unknown designers the chance to show their wares alongside established local names. "It's a different line up every single time," says event organizer and Bows and Arrows co-owner Olivia Coelho. "You never know what you're going to get, but I try to make a balanced event." Regardless of the specifics of the line up, visitors to Sellout Buyout can e
