Marketing and DIY T-shirts
23.08.2013
Kelsey took me around the city at various markets. Most of which were overpriced, but I ended up getting a deal on a bunch of bras at Paddy's Markets. Just what I need in the land of the small-chested. (No offence, Chinese ladies, but if you start selling clothes my size, I will stop complaining). I hadn't seen Kelsey in more than 10 years, and she had changed into quite the militant cyclist and vegan revolutionary-type! I didn't realize this, but it was neat seeing all the cool things she was up to.
The next day, she was helping out at a drop-in bike workshop type thing at the local market. One of her friends came over to make a t-shirt for the workshop with their group's logo on it. I wanted in on this too, so I jumped at the chance to emblazon the image on one of my shirts as well. It was my first time screen printing and I always wanted to try it. So fun. Saturday night, we had vegan Indian food with real pappadums and some Australian political conversation. I don't know why, but I passed out for like, an hour on a chair. There was a nice pillow right beside my elbow, so it must've been that. Totally not the gin and tonics.
