So I was up at the crack of dawn today tweeting and DM'ing my little heart out. I'm sure some people consider it spamming at this point and have blacklisted me.
Today is the day of SVdP's Giant Sale and I'm a little apprehensive about it. This could go either way and me up at the crack of dawn, wringing my hands is one of the recurring themes in doing these events. We're not the "biggest" name out there so we don't have a lot of pull yet. It's not like we can just tweet coordinates in the Mojave desert and have people just show up like Kogi can. I'm wondering how it will go for us because:
A) I'm not sure what our fan base is in East Los
B) I'm not sure how many people will show to a sale on a Thursday (day time)
C) If they're looking for a sale, will they want to spend $$ on Genie goodies??
(... ??)
Max is a sucker for a good cause and really, I guess I am too. We wanted to do our part, to pitch in, ya know? The economy is in the toilet, I lost my job, everyone is hurting. We decided we'd donate 10% of our sales to the Society and hope that is a good incentive for people to come out and spend.
We shall see how it goes. Maybe (hopefully) we'll be grossly understaffed with our team of four. Maybe, just maybe, there are so many taco-eaters in East Los that my tweets went viral and the event is trending right now! Maybe not.
If you're readying this and feel like easin' on down the road to a HUUUUGGGGEEEE sale, well hey, you're in luck. The Thrift Store has been named Best Large Thriftstore in Los Angeles by LA Weekly. They're selling lots of Halloween stuff in case you don't have a costume yet. It's located at 210 N. Avenue 21, Los Angeles 90031. If it's better then Out of the Closet on San Fernando then I'm a happy girl.
Wish us luck and check out the website for the Society too: http://www.svdpla.org/
