The MC is blogger Craig Long of The Commodified (who is now the assistant editor of MONTECRISTO Magazine). On site registration price is $52.50 for non-BCAMA members, $40 for members and $25 for students. I’ll be there if I can get up early enough….. Click here for details.
Threadless – $5 Spring Cleaning Sale (Until March 30th)
**Extended until March 30th**
I haven’t bought a t-shirt from Threadless in a while, but I am still constantly updated on their sales. Threadless is an online creative community / t-shirt store with user-submitted designs. People can vote on your design on a scale of one to five and the highest scoring design gets turned into a t-shirt! And shipping and handling is fairly reasonable too. About $7 to Vancouver, the last time I bought from Threadless. And if you do decide to take advantage of this awesome deal, buy from my personal referral link HERE. Thanks!
