The Really Really Free Market

Out of all the contenders for favorite thing about my internship, one just took a spectacular lead, the Reall Really Free Market at 1614 Esplanade Ave. I was just having a typical boring afternoon until my boss texted me that the shop was going to have an impromptu screen printing demo at the Art House. The Art House has gained a level of local notoriety for regular attempts to evict its residents and tear down the multi level tree house complex build in the backyard. Needless to say, I was ecstatic. By the time I got to the house, the party was in full swing, piles of free stuff everywhere, a dj and a huge turnout. The idea was that people could fish out shirts and we would show them how to print and have them sign up for our list serve. I spent the afternoon doing the messiest screen printing of my life and left splattered with ink. It was a great marketing idea and was basically free since all of the ink was was donated by one of the artists who live in the house. Plus I got to meet Scott Pterodactyl. Can't beat it, really.
