Starts at 3pm.
Feel free to bring all the friends you want, the hipper the better, just RSVP with numbers so we can brace ourselves for the motherload of clothes!

This is the way it works. Bring your cast-offs separated into 2 different bundles - Things You Still Sort of Love and Things You Could Really Give Two Shits About Because They’re Off to the Goodwill Bin Next Week Anyway. On the way in the door, you’ll be tossing the latter into a big pile to be dealt with later.

We don’t want the swapping to be too organized so to make it more organic, we’re going to be swapping in a sort of bartering system. Example: you see that Fiona over there has the exact leather jacket you’ve been pining for? You may have to swap for 2 nice pairs of jeans and a floral sundress to get her to part with it, but to you it’s more than worth it. Or perhaps you’re lucky and she’s feeling generous enough to give it to you in exchange for a Pabst, you never know! So needless to say, there will be wandering and mingling, therefore laundry baskets (ideally labeled with your name) for easy carrying/digging through would be a good idea. So bring your best shit for this part of the evening and take home what you don’t find a good replacement for.

Toward the end of it all, around 6pm, we’ll have an all-out GRABfest with all the unwanted leftovers in a pile in the middle of the room. I suggest wearing a leotard or bathing suit under your clothes so if you’re bashful you can try things on right there without fear of nip-slippage. But for the especially shy, there are changing rooms. After the grabfest and most likely throughout the evening, we’ll be taking photos of all the best swapped outfits for Painfully Hip.

We will be providing music, inspiring visuals and some snackage (nothing fancy). We’re trying to make this as laid back as possible, so don’t start asking me about “rules.” But just so you know, we won’t complain if you bring a beverage or 6.

We will be bashfully pleading for your generous $5 donation to help keep our costs down.

Any questions at all, shoot me an email, otherwise we’ll see you at the Swap!
