So it turns out that I’ve had my head so far up my ass this month that I completely spaced on the fact that Painfully Hip had its one year anniversary along with its 400,000th visitor this month! Yay us! I can’t thank you all enough for visiting us and checking out our sponsors and just being generally positive and amazing all the time.
We’ll be in Chicago in a few weeks and are sort of planning a big, but not too big, last minute (head up my ass) Naked Lady Party / Clothing Swap for kids in that area. I can’t make any promises at this point, due to the limited time frame, but right now we’re trying to think of viable (and reasonable) venues for approximately 40-70 in that area so if anyone knows of one, comment s’il vous plait!
To my fellow bloggers… I am running a special on blog mastheads! Now through March 25th, I’m offering the ridiculously low price of $40 for a custom-designed header. You get to specify size, imagery and request unlimited drafts until you’re 100% stoked. Contact me at Painfully Hip Design if you’re interested.
In other news, I’m getting a puppy today! I had to leave my beautiful german shepherd, Malouk with her dad in Vancouver so there’s been a bit of a fuzzy hole in my heart ever since. So I’m off to the SPCA to save a life. Right after I go to the dreaded dentist. Wish me luck!
Thanks again for this awesome year!
A brownie point for gettinga dog from the SPCA instead of buying one from breeders ! Hope you post a pic of your new best friend soon !
ooh! When are you going to be in Chicago? It would be fantastic if it corresponded with when I have my spring break and will be home! Clothing swap sounds fantastic!
CONGRATS! wish i was closer to chicago
Are you looking to rent out a place in Chicago, or would you prefer a free spot? And are you looking for a place that serves alcohol?
when when? hopefully it’ll be the saem time i’m there!
Congrats on the adoption plans. That’s awesome! Pound pups are always the best.
Chicago? Why, that’s where I live! I’d love to meet up. What kind of venue are you looking for? And if you’re looking to hit up some thrift stores or need other advice and tips, I’d be glad to help you out.
Girl, we need to talk. Chicago is my home away from home. If it’s a weekend I am there!
hell yes! we’ll be there from March 25th to Apr 2nd, we’re thinking of doing the swap in the first 3 or 4 days we’re there. A free venue would obviously be ideal and one that at least allows alcohol would also be good, but at this late point we’re open to any ideas! we’ll rent too, but we’d have to charge a small entrance fee to make up for it. please email me if you have any clues!
Hi, I’m from Chicago as well. Please keep me in the know about this event! I have lots of clothes to get rid of. I also have a recommendation as a spot for you. Its a great spot. Could easily fit 70 in their living room and they’re great kids. i’m sure they’d give the space to you for cheap or free, they might ask for donations from people who come. Email me and I can give your info to my friend who lives there and hook it up.
Tracy!!!
also they allow alcohol!
Congratulations!
CONGRATS PainfullyHip! You girls are the best! I might have to take on your $40 deal for the masterhead!
