Wanna Go To Threadless HQ!?

Well . . . a lot of you have been posting in the "So Where Are All Of You?" blog -- and I have a really good idea of where most of you Threadless addicts reside -- I'm just a little down that most of you can't visit HQ in Chicago -- I thought there were more of you near here.

So I had an idea! Maybe it's a bit odd, but maybe some of you should fly/drive/walk (?) out here and we'll take a trip to HQ. I'll take ya up there and even pay for your lunch! Just keep it under $10.00, I'm super poor. But you could stay with me for a few days and then you'll go back home with a few new shirts and a lot of Threadless stickers. I just hope Threadless is still allowing walk-ins. If you're interested, let me know!

EDIT!
If anyone is really interested, email me at outlaw01_bgp@yahoo.com

I want to go to Chicago!
I have a friend who is going to University up there, plus Threadless is there, a cool restaurant called Kitchen (but spelled wrong) and there is a lot of factories.

So, do I need to bring my sleeping bag?

blonde8007 on Apr 06 '07 at 12:41pm

ah I want to go!

cassiepaige on Apr 06 '07 at 12:43pm

Ooo! And Mimi Smartypants lives in Chicago!

sonmi on Apr 06 '07 at 12:44pm

hahah absolutely! it would be great.

tora! i've had to use two inhalers like that before... albuterol and prednisone. good times! except not really, though it's fun when you can actually breathe again.

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:44pm

we need to start compiling the list of peeps who are gonna go

exoticrobotic on Apr 06 '07 at 12:44pm

Hmmmm
should i go by train or drive?

Train tickets, roundtrip, or only $72

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:44pm

yeah, one was albuterol.... i cant remember the name of the other one

ir0cko on Apr 06 '07 at 12:45pm

boo to being on the west coast!

sonmi on Apr 06 '07 at 12:46pm

booo

levi- go by train! it's such a pain to deal with cars in chicago, and i'm sure someone can drive you arorund.

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:46pm

after consulting my medicine cabinet.... the other on is triamcinolone acetonide

HOW EXCITING!

chelly on Apr 06 '07 at 12:46pm

hahahahahaha this makes me really happy in a nerdy blissful way

also, i'm looking to go from lawrence ks to chicago. i'm guessing it is straight through in one day. anyone good at reading charts? also, clues to where else i could look to figure out how to find out when the damned station is open?

i'm not against bringing the whole family in the car, but it would be a double level of excitement to go by train.

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:47pm

well, ill be driving.... so Ill have a car to use as transport

chelly on Apr 06 '07 at 12:48pm

damn. a lot happened while i was typing that.

ir0cko on Apr 06 '07 at 12:49pm

i think i have relatives in chicago. i wonder if they want to see me? :)

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:49pm

they better!

exoticrobotic on Apr 06 '07 at 12:50pm

i've gone by train once to chicago...it was pretty awesome

we should either show up at someone's house (like 10 or more of us) totally unexpected and have sleeping bags in our arms and be like 'hey can we crash here?'

or else rent a hotel room and all bunk in there to save cash

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:50pm

thisll be the biggest meeting of bloggers since The Great Blogger Bake-Off of '86

sonmi on Apr 06 '07 at 12:50pm

hahaha TORA! i have that same inhaler too, actually. its nonscientific name is "AZMACORT". i feel a strange connection to you now, my asthmatic cheese bro.

chelly- is there a grayhound bus you can take? i'm probably worse at reading schedules than you are.

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:51pm

haha yep, azmacort indeed! hahahaha

exoticrobotic on Apr 06 '07 at 12:52pm

wait so does anyone have a date in mind of when this would all go down?

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:52pm

ive never taken a bus in my life.... so Im of no help as well

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:52pm

i demand a date be set! ....sometime on a friday-mon

iPear on Apr 06 '07 at 12:53pm

I wish I lived in the mid west so bad right about nizzow.

chelly on Apr 06 '07 at 12:53pm

calm yourselves! i think we're trying to figure out when the store will open.

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:54pm

RARRRRRGGGG!

exoticrobotic on Apr 06 '07 at 12:54pm

yea def. on the weekend and when the store opens

iPear on Apr 06 '07 at 12:54pm

I keep on thinking chicago is where michigan is.

cuz i'm retarded.

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:55pm

RETARD!

Torakamikaze on Apr 06 '07 at 12:56pm

oh man... i need food... and a shower... intermission time

iPear on Apr 06 '07 at 12:56pm

damnit America and your 4+ state division between me and the holy land.

sonmi on Apr 06 '07 at 12:56pm

i was supposed to be in at work 30 minutes ago, so i should get to it

iPear on Apr 06 '07 at 12:57pm

I'd have to go through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana just to get to IL.

valorandvellum on Apr 06 '07 at 1:22pm

Can we get the threadless staff in on this so maybe we could set up a special walk around tour? And yes, we need to find out when the store opens! And then I need to look at good deals on flights because there's no way I'm driving/training from Cali.

iPear on Apr 06 '07 at 1:25pm

haha, you'd actually come from cali? I wanna do it, I'd love to road trip there, I'm saying that now....but it's a 12 hour drive, so I know like 3 hours in I'd be ready to murder someone

cassiepaige on Apr 06 '07 at 1:25pm

Chicago is 9.5 hours away, I thought it was less!

valorandvellum on Apr 06 '07 at 1:30pm

Yeah, I've been wanting to visit! Never been there before. I think I could find a decent flight deal and it would probably only take about 3-4 hours to fly (that's how long it takes to go to Kansas). You should fly too!

iPear on Apr 06 '07 at 1:33pm

Yeah, see the thing about it is. i've never been away from my house by myself for more than a couple hours. I've never even slept over a friend's house for the night, I don't know how it would roll over if I was like "hey mom gimme like 400 bucks i wanna go to chicago for a week". Actually, I do... the answer would be "no".

I need to start working again.

cassiepaige on Apr 06 '07 at 1:34pm

I doubt my parents would let me fly to Chicago to visit people I have never met before. I can dream though.

It'd be great though, Threadless, Bloggers, stalking Mimi Smartypants, and visiting my (internet) friend at college.

Kerrn on Apr 06 '07 at 1:53pm

damn you 14 hour drive...

maybe kevin and i will feel crazy and attempt the drive this weekend...
it is my last shot at adventure for like the next 4 months...

-k.

Outlaw01 on Apr 06 '07 at 1:53pm

SLEEPING BAGS ARE REQUIRED!

sonmi on Apr 06 '07 at 1:55pm

i want to meet ipear someday so we can have the most awkward meeting ever

Outlaw01 on Apr 06 '07 at 1:58pm

Tours, I think, are just part of the deal for Threadless walk-ins. Or at least they always offered me a tour, lol.

Kerrn on Apr 06 '07 at 1:58pm

ditto sonmi!
and then ill push him down some stairs!

-k.

sonmi on Apr 06 '07 at 1:59pm

hahah that's all it'll involve. just a quiet muttering of hello and then karen pushing him down the stairs.

valorandvellum on Apr 07 '07 at 12:51pm

bump

speedyjvw on Apr 07 '07 at 1:04pm

the tour would be about 5 minutes long, theres really not much to see. i think its tough sometime cuz people just want to hang out but we actaully have to do some work around here (weird huh?)

but everyone visit and bring me gifts

valorandvellum on Apr 07 '07 at 1:07pm

Who does work at work??

I'll bring you a gift from the quarter machine.

Roostersauce on Apr 07 '07 at 1:36pm

yea keep my posted on this if ppl decide to do this. i literally live across the alley from the HQ. so id be easy for me

valorandvellum on Apr 07 '07 at 1:53pm

So here are my thoughts...

June won't be a good month because people are graduating/finishing up school. August won't be good for me because I'll be moving. So maybe July, sometime after the 4th would be good. There's Friday the 6th which might be a decent time to go.

I've done a little bit of research on flights and can get a round trip ticket for $381. Not too bad, I suppose. It would take me to ORD.

exoticrobotic on Apr 07 '07 at 1:58pm

Yeah july sounds perfect, thats when i want to go
dont worry rooster, we will hunt you down

I am a 20-something year old guy currently attending the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design as an Illustration Major. I'm usually quite shy -- so internet forums and the like are great for me because I can hide behind my computer. I love Questionable Content and the character Hannelore.

I love Threadless, and I even founded the Threadless Meet-ups with a simple blog. I made a few designs that scored 'ok' -- but I had them cleared to start fresh. If you send me Street Points, I will love you forever. I sometimes find myself bothering Charles Festa whenever I visit Threadless HQ -- he's just a cool dude.
