Give us your tired, your unused, your huddled fondue pots and table lamps burning to break free. Bring your togas, your angel wings, and huge cardboard cutouts with state capitals written in. We want rugs, towels, mirrors! We want Marx brothers glasses, funny hats, and capes! In short, we are planning a swap, and you're invited!

Nitty Gritty:
Sunday, October first from one to four pm
Please bring at least one bag of stuff. Anything costumey is welcome, as is any houseware item that you could theoretically purchase somewhere like Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Furniture is okay as long as you can lift it by yourself and you're willing and able to take it to a charity place after the swap if no one wants it.



Q: What's a swap?
A: You bring your tired old stuff, we bring our tired old stuff, we swap it for exciting new stuff, and the leftovers go to charity. Everyone declutters, everyone gets new things, we all hang out, and the world benefits. What could be better?

Q: Tell me more about the kinds of things you envision coming to this swap.
A: Towels, sheets, blankets. Kitchen gadgets, dishes, pots and pans. Light fixtures. Art. Costumes or parts of costumes. Vases. Pillows. Organizational stuff, like tupperware under-the-bed boxes. The sky's the limit!

Q: Great! I have a whole houseful of stuff like this!
A: Space is limited, so please try to whittle it down to about what you could fit in the trunk of a car. Bring the best stuff here and drop the rest off at Goodwill.

Q: Anything I shouldn't bring?
A: Anything too big for you to carry by yourself (like a futon or couch). Books. Non-costume clothing. Music.

Q: I want stuff that I can use for art projects (or other nontraditional purposes). Is that cool?
A: Absolutely.

Q: Where do you live again?
A: We're in Davis Square. Please email me for directions if you don't already know how to get here. Yes, this is a public event, but I don't post our address publicly.

Q: I don't think I can make it, but I have stuff I want to drop off. Does that work?
A: Absolutely! Send me email and we'll make arrangements.

Q: Where else will this invite be publicized?
A: Polyboston, bostonbarter, our party list, and anywhere else we can think of that seems relevant.

*amused* i get back from seattle a few hours after this ends.

if i have anything to swap i'll try to have it ready by then. since [livejournal.com profile] pixel made me shelves and a couple of lovely ladies gave me kitchen stuff last night, i doubt there'll be anything i want there, unless there happens to be costume stuff made of leather.

You have caused me to pout. You said that only the 8th was taken.

Oh well. *sigh*

i know, i'm sorry. there was a lot of confusion as to whether or not i would even get the tickets, and by the time i figured out that i had them i had forgotten about the first being part of october entirely.

Thanks! We've had great luck with clothing swaps and book swaps in the past, so I suspect this one will be fun too.

Sorry you'll miss it. :( I hope you're enjoying the Glamour overdose! I am redeeming myself through reading Utne...

I will be unable to attend. I'll be in FL, prior to Yom Kippur. Have a great time!
