does designercon have any sort of Toys For Tots donation area? it seems like such an obvious thing to me, esp at this time of year.

I think we need a Toys for Senior Citizens Box. I'll set one up if people want to drop their old ratty Bemons in it. :twisted:

In fact - why dont we bring some shit to trade anyway - for a laugh? We can set up on an empty table until they kick us out - punk rock style geurilla trade party


if yr serious & some other folks are interested, i can work in a bit of table space to make this happen at my booth. personally i don't really have stuff to trade [beyond my art] since after a few years of drooling over japanese vinyl, my girl encouraged me to start a collection [she's already regretting it]. but hey i'm community minded... so i'm throwing it out there. comment and/or flame away....

Leave it to the gruffest dude I know (at least gruff online) to suggest a fucking toys for tots box. :lol: I guess this is like when the bikers do the charity "love ride" things, right? You big softie Scott!! :D

Where is this? Is it this Sunday? Will there really be a smoking monkey there?
