Thrift On!

free.jpg

I have been known to compulsively purchase very, very inexpensive items from flea markets/sidewalks/dollar stores. These unnecessary purchases are almost immediately stored in the recesses of my closet where they remain forever because they're too, well, too cheap for me to wear outside. You can only imagine my delight when I found out about tonight’s swap party at Botanica Bar. Not only will I be able to release my cheap gems to other bargain-addicts like myself, but I’ll be able to pick up enough of other people’s free shit to ensure that my closet is never, ever even remotely barren again. As if this isn’t amazing enough, the party is free and the alcohol will be flowing to beats provided by the lovely DJ Shakey. Thrift On!

Date: Monday, February 27th
Time: 9pm to 1am+
Location: Botanica Bar, 47 East Houston
Cost: Free
