Unique Promo

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Hola Boys and Girls!  We have two wristbands up for grabs for this weekend’s UNIQUE LA show!

All you have to do is to leave a comment, and let us know any one  of the following:

  • Who’s cooler: Sasquatch or Godzilla?
  • What’s the strangest thing you’ve eaten?
  • Would you rather be a vampire or a platypus?
  • Pick a pet: pot bellied pig, or a komodo dragon?

There are no limits for each person – comment away!  On Wednesday night 10pm PST, we will close the contest and pick two winners randomly, for a chance to win an entrance ticket to this weekend’s UNIQUE LA show (good for both days) AND a free button of their choice at our booth!  Now what a great deal is that!!

PLUS we will award special prizes to any of our favorite comments that manage to explode on the awesomeness scale of doom!   Comment away, and see you Angelenos this weekend!!

What a weekend! This thanksgiving weekend was spent with a lot of drawing, coming up with fresh new designs that we’ll be launching at Unique LA. It’s been real fun! I’m definitely looking forward releasing these new buttons, this particular button set has been itching to get out already… 6 days to go, fellows! Do you think you can guess this set?

Ten shillings and six pence?

Now who in the right mind would wear the price of his hat at a tea party? He must be mad!

A Pocket Watch!

A lovely pocket watch!

For quite an important date, indeed! ;)

A week away from Unique LA and we’re getting so excited! Did you know that just by attending you already get a free tote designed by Shepard Fairey’s Studio No.1? And it will be featuring artwork exclusively for the event. Now that is sweet.

Now besides our new display set up, we’ve been working on putting together our button sets. Here’s a preview of our package tags, made with love. :)

Mod gal!

That last Mod Gal is one of my favorites so far. Unique LA here we come! And like what Paul said, we got some special treats in store for you Unique LA goers, so watch out for the announcement! ;)

Without me…

Occasionally, your day doesn’t always go according to plan. Thanks to gravity and Murphy’s law, there’s always something to keep you on your toes. Although it can get stressful at times, you have to admit that it does make life a little bit more exciting. Can you imagine if everything went according to plan in your day to day life? Just like how lottery winners end up broke and miserable in the end (or so I heard – I’d love to win and be the exception!), getting everything you want can have its unintended consequences.

Apologies for my tendency to ramble, I guess my point is that we can’t spend too much time getting stressed out without giving yourself proper credit for the good things you bring into the world.

And, what better way to let the world know the undeniable truth of how awesome you really are. :)

Preparations

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

We’ve spent the past couple of days brainstorming our button setup, and the countdown is fast approaching for our first UNIQUE LA attendance! We will be having a table right across the food stalls, and are terribly excited to meet all of you! We’re getting ready with a brand spankin’ new button display setup, which I’ve been sanding and painting the past few days. Hopefully I don’t mess up since I think it’ll be the coolest thing since sliced bread!

Stay tuned for more updates as December 5 and 6 draw near, we will be announcing a few event giveaways for those in attendance that weekend!
