Steve The Great on Jun 05 '08 at 2:58pm

BNannas on Jun 05 '08 at 2:58pm

Matt, I will send you a piece of cake. Perhaps from the guitar section.

ir0cko on Jun 05 '08 at 2:58pm

cake!!

letsmakeart on Jun 05 '08 at 3:00pm

"Matt, I will send you a piece of cake. Perhaps from the guitar section."

I don't know that it would be edible or make it through customs but I appreciate the idea. I'll probably buy some cake or something and watch the video while eating it to fool my brain.

kayceislost on Jun 05 '08 at 3:01pm

lulz, i could make this.

martiandrivein on Jun 05 '08 at 3:01pm

Rad!

0Jim0 on Jun 05 '08 at 3:02pm

little too far for me..

BNannas on Jun 05 '08 at 3:02pm

lulz, i could make this.

Please come! The more the merrier!

Phiffer on Jun 05 '08 at 3:02pm

Damn it all to hell

alvarejo on Jun 05 '08 at 3:03pm

CARAJO!!!!! POR LA RECHUCHA POR QUE NO VIVO EN ESTADOS UNIDOS

Translation:

F"·$%& WITH ON ·"$%&/() I DON'T LIVE IN USA

*soon

Phiffer on Jun 05 '08 at 3:04pm

Maybe I could convince my family to go (they love ace of cakes).

Oh wait my house to party = 901 km – about 9 hours 54 mins

sonmi on Jun 05 '08 at 3:05pm

wait, isn't the 14th bob's birthday too?

courtney pie on Jun 05 '08 at 3:06pm

this just furthers my belief that i did in fact see a Tless tee on an epi of Ace of Cakes

sonmi on Jun 05 '08 at 3:06pm

i momentarily contemplated this, then realized i'll be at a wedding in tennessee that day D:

sonmi on Jun 05 '08 at 3:07pm

this was on there once :D

alvarejo on Jun 05 '08 at 3:07pm

*i meant "why on not with on"

Steve The Great on Jun 05 '08 at 3:08pm

I should go. cuz that's like walking distance from school.

Phiffer on Jun 05 '08 at 3:14pm

There has been a few threadless shirts on Ace

V1ctorya on Jun 05 '08 at 3:14pm

Damn! Why must everything happen on the 14th? And MEgabus out to DC is like, only a few dollars.

ARGH! I love ace of cakes

tracerbullet on Jun 05 '08 at 3:15pm

Threadless was also on Top Chef last night. I sent in a sighting email about it.

That was an exciting story.

snaggle tooth on Jun 05 '08 at 3:22pm

will this be an episode on real TV?

snaggle tooth on Jun 05 '08 at 3:23pm

i missed the episode, we were watching greg get kicked off the real (fake) world and flipping back with top chef. who was wearing it?

BNannas on Jun 05 '08 at 3:23pm

will this be an episode on real TV?

Come and find out!

DaniellesGarden on Jun 05 '08 at 3:24pm

very cool, i love ace of cakes. I also have noticed threadless on there, but they are always repeats so assume someone has already "spotted" them. I did notice a threadless sticker near their phone at the place.. heh.. I thought that was pretty cool too,

snaggle tooth on Jun 05 '08 at 3:25pm

I'm in Virginia Bob, so therefore I will miss it. But you can mail me a piece of cake. I bet it would last in the mail!

mype4nut on Jun 05 '08 at 3:25pm

I live a billion miles away, but want to go just so I can have some of their yummyyummy cake!

tracerbullet on Jun 05 '08 at 3:25pm

andrew was wearing it

Twiggyhall on Jun 05 '08 at 3:26pm

Zomg! How awesome!

Too bad I'm in Seattle *cries*

And oh, how I love me some fondant... *cries some more*

SoldierofGondor on Jun 05 '08 at 3:26pm

Ah, if this was in Chicago I coulda tried to come.

goldensara on Jun 05 '08 at 3:28pm

cake + threadless = me dying of joy

Tess Fondie on Jun 05 '08 at 3:29pm

whatchu talkin abuot brian? when?? I am also refusing to watch the season finale

goldensara on Jun 05 '08 at 3:29pm

OMG i just had an idea: threadless cakes! made to order! with your favorite shirt as the design!

I. Am a genius.

tracerbullet on Jun 05 '08 at 3:30pm

why are you refusing to watch the season finale? it's gonna be so good.

tracerbullet on Jun 05 '08 at 3:31pm

except for lisa. she's a bitch.

Chengui on Jun 05 '08 at 3:31pm

Man I love that show! Kind of a long commute for me....but maybe you can video me in?.......and fax me some cake too.

koolest_chicken_91 on Jun 05 '08 at 3:31pm

OMG! I WANT TO GO!

Chengui on Jun 05 '08 at 3:32pm

We should have done a Threadless loves Charm City....

Tess Fondie on Jun 05 '08 at 3:32pm

i might watch it for the fact that it looks like richard is going to call the judges out because its SOOOOOO obvious Lisa does not deserve to be there...

Seriously after 4 times in a row being in the bottom its like the only way she will win will be out of a pure fluke- not because she is a good chef

tracerbullet on Jun 05 '08 at 3:34pm

she won't win. i won't allow it.

i like richard and stephanie equally, so i'm fine with either one winning.

snaggle tooth on Jun 05 '08 at 3:34pm

Tess Fondie on Jun 05 '08 at 3:35pm

oh yeah, cakes and threadless not top chef

BNannas on Jun 05 '08 at 4:02pm

Someone should have warned me about these Top Chef spoilers. CURSES.

ir0cko on Jun 05 '08 at 4:03pm

brian spoils everything!

DaniellesGarden on Jun 05 '08 at 4:04pm

threadcakes

thats old news though I would assume

wullagaru on Jun 05 '08 at 4:20pm

Tess Fondie on Jun 05 '08 at 4:22pm

I'll drive you wulla

Wiffler on Jun 06 '08 at 9:52am

For any Threadless staff or bloggers who will be in town for this, you might want to check out The Hon Fest!

fat pigeon on Jun 06 '08 at 10:21am

Ah, Hon Fest. Good times.

sleepyfeet on Jun 06 '08 at 9:53pm

Steve The Great on Jun 06 '08 at 9:54pm

like if you can get to silver spring or greenbelt (I know it's a trip) I can get you the rest of the way.

sleepyfeet on Jun 06 '08 at 10:00pm

I could totally do that. Maybe we should pick up Kholla too.

Steve The Great on Jun 06 '08 at 10:02pm

she doesn't love me enough.

sleepyfeet on Jun 06 '08 at 10:07pm

aw yes she does. i'm going to go leave her a facebook message.

starr226 on Jun 07 '08 at 7:20pm

I haven't seen any comment on this:

"cake is awesome," "i'll send you a piece from the guitar"...same text...is it so obvious no one's bothered?

Cake Is Awesome! - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

I'm so hyped. It better not be some limited edition business. I need that rockin' cake!

cassiepaige on Jun 07 '08 at 7:23pm

Is this all ages or 18+

bhoomika on Jun 08 '08 at 1:38am

Oh I wish I lived anywhere near there!

mike bautista on Jun 08 '08 at 1:56am

i must watch this episode.

squeegebeckenheim on Jun 08 '08 at 2:06pm

V1ctorya on Jun 08 '08 at 3:34pm

Road trip!

the czar on Jun 08 '08 at 5:07pm

How many Threadless employees are gonna be there?

shimala on Jun 08 '08 at 5:21pm

as of right now Bob, Charlie and myself... we hope to have a couple others joining us

pyr4lis on Jun 08 '08 at 5:36pm

That girl Alice I think? Shes a crazy threadless wearer.. she's almost always wearing one.. and once I saw a shot of her at her computer and she had threadless stickers all over it :) Well not "all over" but there were a few of them hehe. I so wish I could go...

funkie fresh on Jun 08 '08 at 6:00pm

OMG ACE OF CAKES! that's so great!

iPear on Jun 08 '08 at 7:39pm

dude, that's like RIGHT THERE!

oh man, I should see if anyone wants to go.

letsmakeart on Jun 08 '08 at 7:50pm

that and the design is on the flyer =P

d3d on Jun 08 '08 at 7:56pm

i want cake

fat pigeon on Jun 08 '08 at 7:57pm

haha, yeah, I just noticed that. Nice one!

jenraskopf on Jun 08 '08 at 8:51pm

Disappointment, thy name is jenraskopf.

pyr4lis on Jun 08 '08 at 9:37pm

someone (love's threadless or threadless themselves) should do a threadcakes round 2 competition in honor of the ace of cakes thing.

nikolina100 on Jun 08 '08 at 9:41pm

cake + threadless = me dying of envy!!!

SnakeMan on Jun 09 '08 at 3:04am

so i may have just rsvp'd to this.

hard to say.

but i may have.

in monotone.

phones on Jun 09 '08 at 3:50am

i wish there was some kinda live satellite link up with live satellite cake for us foreigners

sleepyfeet on Jun 09 '08 at 3:55am

if only this thing was pointed at baltimore and not new york!

fat pigeon on Jun 09 '08 at 7:55am

I'll see you all there. I'll be the guy wearing a Threadless T.

Wiffler on Jun 09 '08 at 9:22am

pigeon brings up an interesting point. What does one wear to a function such as this. Are we bound by Threadless pride to wear a Threadless tee, or is that like wearing the shirt of the band to the concert? Discuss, please.

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 9:33am

omg i'll totally be there! yay for living in bmore!

fat pigeon on Jun 09 '08 at 9:45am

Hmmmm, never thought of it like that wiffler. Damnit.

the czar on Jun 09 '08 at 9:50am

We need to overwhelm them with or Threadlessness!
Unless there is some dress code

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 10:11am

agreed. threadlessness.

Steve The Great on Jun 09 '08 at 10:13am

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 9:33am
omg i'll totally be there! yay for living in bmore!

I did not know this.

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 10:19am

didn't know I live in Bmore?
I go to school in Los Angeles but I'm home for summer. Just got back Friday.

Steve The Great on Jun 09 '08 at 10:23am

Now I get it.

fat pigeon on Jun 09 '08 at 10:25am

Threadless it is.

Steve The Great on Jun 09 '08 at 10:27am

can I wear a hat?
I want to wear a hat.

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 10:27am

Steve: Facebook me
it will all make sense.

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 10:28am

def wear a hat.

Steve The Great on Jun 09 '08 at 10:30am

gotcha.

fat pigeon on Jun 09 '08 at 10:37am

I think I'm going to Fells point before to grab some beers. Anyone can feel free to join me at DuClaw for some brews.

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 10:42am

brews no, cocktails and company?

fat pigeon on Jun 09 '08 at 10:51am

Beer isn't a requirement. It's just what I'll be drinking :)

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 11:03am

ok yay!
if I go this will be my first time at an actual bar (and I;ve been 21 for 6 months! is that weird?) haha
how exciting!

Steve The Great on Jun 09 '08 at 11:06am

I don't think they let you in if your 21st birthday is a month away (from today actually! neato!)

fat pigeon on Jun 09 '08 at 11:12am

You can definitely get in, it's a restaurant/bar. Just can't sit at the bar.

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 11:57am

uh oh.
I totes forgot that father's day is the next day and my family is going to the eastern shore for the weekend.
I am trying to just drive down by myself after the cakefest but the jury is out on whether or not that makes me an awful daughter. We will see what happens.

I was super excited about meeting threadless people though, so just in case...
anyone interested in meeting up in Fell's point or anywhere else another night? I'm off work in Hunt Valley by 5:30 PM on weekdays and free most weekends and the only nights I'm busy so far are tonight and tomorrow so please let me know!
xoxox

Wiffler on Jun 09 '08 at 11:59am

Where in Hunt Valley?

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 12:15pm

I'm interning at a PR company near the Warren road exit from 83

Steve The Great on Jun 09 '08 at 12:20pm

meetups are cool! I've never been to the walters. we should go there.

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 12:21pm

that'd be so cool! yay!

kayceislost on Jun 09 '08 at 12:22pm

ehehe
steve better love meetups now

Wiffler on Jun 09 '08 at 12:40pm

I work just up York Road in Sparks...

iPear on Jun 09 '08 at 1:23pm

DarthG on Jun 09 '08 at 4:40pm

That's going to be the funnest party ever! I looooove Ace of Cakes and Threadless! Together, that's just wonderful.

I hate living in Houston. :'(

squeegebeckenheim on Jun 09 '08 at 9:08pm

Is this a fancy party dress wise?

radiostaticstar on Jun 09 '08 at 9:18pm

aww man, i wish i could go...

downtownregis on Jun 09 '08 at 9:31pm

ok so I actually can't go because my parents are guilt tripping me about father's day :/

seriously though b'more peeps, anyone want to hang out next weekend? :(

sleepyfeet on Jun 09 '08 at 11:13pm

DarthG on Jun 09 '08 at 4:40pm
no, no, no.....this is supposed to be in August when I'll actually be in Baltimore.....

change the dates....kthxbai.....
hey, we should do stuff again with all these people that are apparently living in Baltimore. I promise to be more talkative! :P

I love how they're being sooo secretive about the party deets. but it excites me.

80sfan101 on Jun 10 '08 at 10:45am

i wish i could go :(

Lonkiponk on Jun 10 '08 at 11:00am

The atlantic ocean is kind of in the way.
otherwise i would come.

terryb on Jun 10 '08 at 11:25am

my two loves, together at last.

BNannas on Jun 10 '08 at 3:27pm

WE'VE REACHED OUR LIST CAPACITY!

Feel free to still RSVP but your entry isn't guaranteed!

Woohoooooo!

fat pigeon on Jun 10 '08 at 3:58pm

It would be awesome if Cake was playing there too. We could eat, listen to and wear cake.

fat pigeon on Jun 10 '08 at 3:59pm

And woohoo for making it in before you reached capacity!

the czar on Jun 10 '08 at 5:43pm

I feel special now

SnakeMan on Jun 10 '08 at 6:17pm

omair, you wanna carpool?

iPear on Jun 10 '08 at 6:59pm

I would probably say that would work but I'm gong to be doing junk before and then I'm just going to do directly there.

SnakeMan on Jun 10 '08 at 8:01pm

ok.

was that a yes or a no?

iPear on Jun 10 '08 at 8:06pm

tha's a negatory. :(

SnakeMan on Jun 10 '08 at 8:13pm

when i see you in baltimore, i'm going to act like we are friends.

just know that i will be acting, and that the reality will be that i want to put my elbow through one side of your body and out the other.

but seriously, that's cool, i'll see you down there.

friendo.

poofie on Jun 11 '08 at 8:02am

i'm so going to be there!

fat pigeon on Jun 12 '08 at 11:25am

I'm getting excited/nervous/queezy!

poofie on Jun 12 '08 at 2:33pm

i'm super excited! i'll be at HonFest during the day, so maybe i'll get a sweet beehive 'do just for the occasion!

poofie on Jun 12 '08 at 2:44pm

PS - fat pigeon... why would you go to DuClaw when you can go to MAX'S in Fells Point? I don't even drink beer, and I know it's THE place to have been in Balmer.

fat pigeon on Jun 12 '08 at 2:46pm

Max's is expensive. They don't brew their own beer, they just have a HUGE selection. I do go there though and enjoy it. I like supporting the local breweries like wharf rat and duclaw and clipper city, etc..

fat pigeon on Jun 12 '08 at 2:47pm

I used to enjoy going upstairs and having a cigar too, but I guess that's gone with the smoking ban. Not that I mind too much.

poofie on Jun 12 '08 at 2:58pm

I guess those are good points... Do you go to Brewer's Art? Their beer is good, and they have hella good rosemary garlic fries and awesome burgers!

lemonalle on Jun 12 '08 at 3:10pm

rosemary fries with mayonaise... drooool. it's always so crowded though

fat pigeon on Jun 12 '08 at 11:25am
I'm getting excited/nervous/queezy!

me too!

fat pigeon on Jun 12 '08 at 3:13pm

Yes, how did I forget to mention brewers art. Tasty beers that put me on my ass. I have never eaten there though. I'll have to try it out.

Wiffler on Jun 12 '08 at 3:15pm

Their beers do put you on your ass, fo sho!

lemonalle - I did not know you lived in Baltimore...not that I would, but I didn't.

lemonalle on Jun 12 '08 at 3:20pm

yep, i'm a merrylander! i live in a suburb of baltimore, but i was born in the city

fat pigeon on Jun 12 '08 at 3:21pm

I tell people I'm from baltimore so I can cover up the fact that I live in glen burnie

Wiffler on Jun 12 '08 at 3:21pm

Me too, but now I live in blair (aka Bel Air)

downtownregis on Jun 12 '08 at 3:24pm

i reallyyyyy want to go... who cares if my parents hate me, right?

fat pigeon on Jun 12 '08 at 3:27pm

yeah who cares. You can meet them on the eastern shore sunday. Just in time for Father's day.

the czar on Jun 12 '08 at 5:05pm

This should be fun!

the czar on Jun 12 '08 at 5:05pm

Oh and I forgot - CAKE!!

Are they making me a special cake for my birthday?

squeegebeckenheim on Jun 12 '08 at 10:59pm

Yay! I'm definitely coming now!

Also, Charlie put me down as me +1, so if anyone doesn't have a reservation, I have an extra spot. Or Charlie could change it so it's just me and put someone else on the list.

fat pigeon on Jun 13 '08 at 7:48am

Can't wait for tomorrow night! Though, my girlfriend probably can't come with me so I'll be the awkward, nervous guy standing in the corner alone.

downtownregis on Jun 13 '08 at 7:52am

downtownregis on Jun 14 '08 at 2:20pm

iPear on Jun 14 '08 at 2:30pm

Hey, I forgot to ask. what's the parking like around there? is it meter parking? is there a lot? am I going to have to parallel? Should I bring my anti-theft flame thrower?

downtownregis on Jun 14 '08 at 2:33pm

iPear on Jun 14 '08 at 2:35pm

I'm not actually invited, I was just planning on kidnapping you.

Steve The Great on Jun 14 '08 at 2:35pm

oh that's a good question.

downtownregis on Jun 14 '08 at 2:36pm

pear are you seriously going? hahaha

iPear on Jun 14 '08 at 2:37pm

Yeah, man.

downtownregis on Jun 14 '08 at 2:38pm

iPear on Jun 14 '08 at 2:41pm

Steve The Great on Jun 14 '08 at 2:41pm

iPear on Jun 14 '08 at 3:20pm

So... that was a strange party. I really expected something more grand from Threadless and Charm City Cakes - we drove 40 miles and I guess you had to be there right at the beginning for anything exciting. When we got there at 9pm, it was just a DJ, tiny pieces of undecorated cake, and drinks. There may have been giveaways, but we missed them if there were.

The space was cool, and could have offered a really nice place to have a full Threadless show (they posted several prints, but that's all). Besides a couple of signs, it just didn't feel like a Threadless party. The special cake was very pretty, I'll give them that.

jenraskopf on Jun 14 '08 at 9:59pm

Was it delicious?

saramwrap on Jun 14 '08 at 10:06pm

The plain cake was tasty enough - as expected from Charm City - but not spectacular. I've had their wedding cakes, and they know cake. Mostly, they usually do amazing presentation, and the cake we were served was just white frosting.

unepucette on Jun 14 '08 at 10:25pm

I have to say I was really excited about the idea of a Threadless Charm City party... and talked about it for days. However, much like New Years, the anticipation and expectations far exceed any actual events.

Both Threadless and Charm City portray a certain culture that's fun, edgy, and artsy and I was hoping that would translate to this party. Unfortunately it didn't.

There was lost potential, but I wouldn't have known if I hadn't gone. So I guess I am glad I went. After all, I can now say I have had Charm City Cake... yeah, the ones on TV!

saramwrap on Jun 14 '08 at 11:06pm

Heh, I agree! I think I had a vision for the party than the event planners didn't - imagine a party with a gallery of Threadless art, a photo booth for t-shirt posing, contests and games throughout the night, the launching shirt for sale, little goodies for everyone (stickers, coozies, car decals), etc.

In fact - Threadless, hire me as your event planner the next time you do a party in Baltimore/DC! ;)

Maltzmania on Jun 14 '08 at 11:26pm

debbie downers!

Steve The Great on Jun 14 '08 at 11:40pm

total debbie downers!

they said this thing was really last minute. whatevs I had fun.

FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 15 '08 at 12:12am

Wow...you're TOTALLY making me feel better for not going. But I wasn't really expecting a big event as much as just chilling with a ton of online buddies and meeting for the first or latest time. how was that aspect? Who all attended?

iPear on Jun 15 '08 at 12:24am

It was fun! the only thing that kind of sucked was the only conversation I had with Bob Nanna was me saying 'where's the bathroom" and him not hearing me so I ended up just screaming 'BATHROOM, BATHROOM!' like 50 times. Zawkward.

Hey Bob.

Wiffler on Jun 15 '08 at 12:48am

I met ipear! He was totes dreamy!!!

xoxsoyxox on Jun 15 '08 at 7:35am

i actually had a great time at the event. sure it wasn't the most spectacular thing ever, but it was about artists more than shameless promotion.

i've lived in baltimore all my life and the one thing i love about it is that there are amazing people taking the artist community into their own hands and they themselves transform older buildings into great spaces to showcase art. gspot is an example of that. personally, i'm pretty proud to have had the experience.

i thought that what threadless and charm city set up was great. just the fact that EVERYTHING (food, drink, cake, and shirts) was complimentary says volumes about both companies and the venue itself. there were several opportunities for them to pocket cash, and the only money i saw was in the tip jar at the bar area.

also, while they distributed sheet cake for all, later in the evening, mary alice cut THE cake, and we enjoyed delicious lemon pound cake.

thank you gspot a/v p.
thank you charm city cakes.
thank you threadless.
thank you bob. hope you enjoyed your birthday in baltimore, and thank you for being such a generous person on your day. mp(3) is already hanging in my dining room.

xoxsoyxox on Jun 15 '08 at 7:42am

oh yeah... and it was just a fun time.

fat pigeon on Jun 15 '08 at 10:45am

I had a good time. Some people made their way over to me and introduced themselves and after that, and about 5 beers, I had a great time. FTW

the czar on Jun 15 '08 at 12:29pm

We got all hot and sweaty, like we all had gone to jazzercise together.
Charlie/FP sorry again for being afraid of being awkward and not coming over earlier.

downtownregis on Jun 15 '08 at 1:28pm

to the cake bash bashers:
seriously? guys, threadless gave us shirts, stickers, AMAZING CAKE (and if you stayed the whole time yes you could eat the neat one), food, unlimited drinks, and you complain it wasn't cooler? I'm sorry, but i think you could be more respectful, people put time and money into this event, all you had to do was show up and be social and it was amazing.
i had a wonderful time.
thank you threadless!!!

fat pigeon on Jun 15 '08 at 1:44pm

I agree. It was nice and fun. Thanks threadless for hosting all of us.

fat pigeon on Jun 15 '08 at 1:46pm

Czar- it's all good. It was nice meeting you and everyone else.

snaggle tooth on Jun 15 '08 at 2:21pm

for some reason, i thought this was in chicago and not baltimore...

i could've gone. woops...

shimala on Jun 15 '08 at 5:50pm

Sorry we let some of you down but I think we did a pretty decent job for putting this together on such short notice and in a town that was completely foreign to us. We gave away 150 tees which were devoured up within the first hour. Even the tees we had displayed up on the walls disappeared while we weren't looking.

Overall we were blown away by all the people that RSVP'd and came from near and far. It was great seeing so many Threadless tees in one place. In the end we had somewhere around 250 people show which was amazing! Thanks again to everyone who had a hand in helping us one way or another with this! I can't wait for the next event, who knows... Threadless/Charm City Cakes 2?!

FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 15 '08 at 5:59pm

I hate myself just a little bit that i missed this. Dammit.

professorE on Jun 15 '08 at 6:01pm

I need to get a car. And some money. I miss out on too much cool stuff...

Monkey III on Jun 15 '08 at 6:08pm

Pssst.
I live too far away to enjoy any of these cool parties.
I wanna make crazyawesome flyers for threadless too.
(shoot me an email dudes)

I had a great time, Craig.

You guys did a bang up job!

the czar on Jun 15 '08 at 7:36pm

Craig, Charlie, Bob, it was nice meeting you guys. Thanks for giving back to us. I don't regret the 6 hours on the road for the 3 hour + party. It is not like you can control the weather....yet. I was glad to put some faces to names, especially some of these folks that I have been talking to for 2 + years. You guys were obviously busting your asses trying to make it as cool as possible.

downtownregis on Jun 15 '08 at 7:47pm

Craig you guys did amazing.
seriously.

iPear on Jun 15 '08 at 7:54pm

Yeah, you guys were swell. I know it was kind of put together in a hurry,but it was definitely worth it. I hope there's another one next year because seriously, everything is better than Delaware. We had an awesome time! Also, it was a convenient distance too, so telling our parents that we were going to a late night viewing of Kung Fu Panda totally worked out to be the perfect front.

downtownregis on Jun 15 '08 at 8:10pm

craig this is how the cake party made me feel:

hahaha. pure awesome.

downtownregis on Jun 15 '08 at 8:12pm

lmao at Pear for saying he went to see kung fu panda.

Wiffler on Jun 15 '08 at 10:13pm

I know you can't see it, but I'm standing just to Kelly's right while that picture was being taken. I was moderately drunk and waiting to introduce myself to Festa, who is a super cool mutha fucker in real life!

Wiffler on Jun 15 '08 at 10:15pm

Shortly after this photo was taken my wife could be seen stripper dancing for a security guard in a truck in the middle of the street...she's cool, too!

Steve The Great on Jun 15 '08 at 10:19pm

I loved how your wife knows about me.

SnakeMan on Jun 15 '08 at 10:22pm

i forgot to get a photo of the security guard.

damnit.

CharlesFesta on Jun 15 '08 at 10:55pm

Super Duper!!

Wiffler on Jun 16 '08 at 7:48am

Steve - she knows ALL about you...we know when you're home, and when you're not!

V1ctorya on Jun 16 '08 at 7:57am

Yeah, I had a blast. It was nice to just get the hell outa my house and go and meet a bunch of people. Festa was cool, as was, of course, everyone else I met that night.

Much thanks to threadless for putting this party on for us!

Oh yeah, that security guard outside the building was fun. Showed us the tree that grows outa the brick right from the side of the building telling us how it's the finest art there is.

telaine on Jun 16 '08 at 12:01pm

Soooo will those awesome cake shirts be for sale sometime? Maybe 2nd edition ones? I really really want one! :-)

squeegebeckenheim on Jun 16 '08 at 1:24pm

I think they'll have them for sale Tanya. "A party celebrating the release of an upcoming tee..." so I'm assuming they'll be up soon.

DaniellesGarden on Jun 16 '08 at 1:25pm
