So, the RENEGADE Brooklyn vendor maps have been released, and wow, your man has got a LOT of pressure on him now. My spot in the fair is second only to Etsy, who always get the best spot since they’re essentially a huge crafter organization/network/marketplace (which I may also start selling on, thanks to meeting several nice members of the gang and wanting to give it a shot). For serious, people: you walk in and look slightly to your left, and BOOM. My mustache’d face:

I probably won’t be holding a huge beer bong (but, never say never), but I will probably have some dumb expression on my face and I will still be kinda fat (Mom and Dad, I live in a house with seven chefs in training; at least I managed to quit smoking, and I will start exercising more. Love you!).
I’m at the cap of a huge aisle of vendors, just to the left of the entrance. It is going to be completely sick.
I’ve been meaning to email the Renegade gang and thank them for giving me such a ridiculous spot; I imagine they wanted to throw me a bone for a number of reasons, such as “SEIBEI is the fucking boss”, but in all honesty it’s probably due to getting a cashbox with nearly $3000 in it stolen from me at their show last year in Chicago, so they wanted to help me recoup my losses from a simple dumb mistake of using a cashbox instead of a series of fanny packs.
So now it’s time to come up with the ILLEST booth ever. There’s a month left until the show and there’s so much to be done: I’m working with a few more guest artists on some new designs, and hopefully one or two of them will be ready in time for the show, I’m working on some new ones myself, I need to finish designing some belts so I can get those made, and there may be a new colorway or two of some of your favorite designs. So get ready, Brooklyn!
In other news, things are ridiculously hectic, I’m having trouble keeping some stuff in stock, there are production problems with the new ICE WIZARD hoodies that will be resolved by next week, and I’ve recently been picked up by a number of new retailers who hopefully aren’t too mad about the slight delay my wrecked schedule has caused, and approached by even more retailers.
In great news, one of my best friends, Phil, is moving up from VA to NY and into our house on Monday! Plus, he’s bringing another great friend, Josh, the designer of this very website, up to hang out for awhile too! RAAAAAAAAD!
