I don't think he'd do it on his own, but I will. Steven (EBIII) has a clothing/resin toy shop up now. I think he mentioned it in the Resin section, but maybe people who don't care about resin don't check/know. He has some cool shirts though, I dig the "Huge Head" one. Anyway, thought I'd support some local stuff since we don't get a lot of it other then the awesome Rotofugi. http://shop.liverdiet.us/ Congrats Steven! Good luck, local support right here. Any other local toy/clothes/etc. produced things can get dropped in this thread too I figured. Kind of a generic "support the locals" type thread.
Cool stuff and great idea. Sadly the local thing I support the most is food. My god the local restaurants around here are awesome! Does anyone in Chicago on the board promote shows or anything?
i used to help promote for 1500 records, but those days are long gone. i still support threadless since they're local (and one of the two founders lives in my building) even though they've kinda outgrown themselves. actually, i'd pay for a series of classes for toy making classes if mr. erst would be so generous and willing.
A "how to" summit would be awesome from anyone who knows what the hell they're doing. I've seen videos but honestly I kinda need to be somewhere watching it go down in person to get a feel for how stuff works.
we need to bring trimmtrabb and ebiii together to offer this seminar to us laymen. anyone know them well enough to liaise?
don't forget about steven's fans and friends on the east coast! just got a sick liverdiet package in the mail,, gonna wear my new shirt to work tonight
