It’s official: Renegade begins in three hours. Last night was just one of several spent working endlessly getting ready for the show. Chelsea and I folded hundreds of shirts and attached hangtags to most of them, then ran to Wal-Mart around 12:30 am (24-hour Wal-Mart is my SAVIOR!) for some last minute supplies and booth modifications. That girl has been such a tremendous help, no questions asked. I owe her HUGE!

I’m excited for an AWESOME weekend in the city. According to weather.com, we’re looking at mid-70s throughout Saturday and Sunday, mostly sunny, and a very low chance of rain. Could you ask for better conditions? I think not!

And what better way to spend a beautiful weekend than exploring unique handmade items at the indie craftshow, Renegade? If you’re in the Chicagoland area, be sure to stop by the Beetnik booth. We’ll be releasing THREE BRAND NEW SHIRTS, and I must say, these are probably the best ones yet! They look great, printed on American Apparel (guys and girls), and are super comfy! We’ll also be doing some other neat stuff, so come by and say Hi!

[Renegade details] - SEE YOU THERE!
