The Thousands

We’ve got the goods at Format. Well actually we don’t. You see, we’re doing that whole DIY schtick. What we do have is a T-Shirt Party, coordinated by the beautiful Format member – Simon Loffler. You’ve probably heard of him – Loffler has coordinated the Format Street Art program for two years running, was the founder of the infamous Ex-A-Sketch, and is just an all round charming guy.

So do it yourself huh? You could just get yourself down to LAX and buy some trendy illustrated shirt. OR – DIY style – you go to Target, find the cheapest white tee (I suggest Bonds, always a flattering cut), come to Peel St, hunt out the complimentary textas, try and be creative… I know. It sounds like way too much work to me too. Whatever happened to good ol’ fashioned consumerism?

Nevertheless, you’ll be glad to know that this ‘participatory culture’ we promote here at Format means:

a) The beers are only four dollars.
b) If you go to the Art Jam beforehand on Union St, you might be a little excited already from the fumes.
c) When you draw on someone else’s shirt, you can sort of touch them up.
