Last Saturday A Priceless Way made our first public appearance at the Artopia Festival in Georgetown. Thanks so much to everyone who came out! We had such a good our first time around that it got Ted and I are really excited about showing our tee’s in the future at other fairs/festivals – which we hadn’t thought much about doing until recently. Aside from our T-shirt’s we also showed wristbands (made by yours truly on a whim out of vintage material) and super sleek, virtually indestructible wallets made by our friend with talent/my main squeeze, Josh Buesseler – who is also an amazing photographer, designer, and music producer. For people who saw us this weekend but didn’t get a chance to pick up a tee, you can shop our online store for our Series 1 Tees or email us if you want in on our Series 1 Special or Series 2 Monsters line.
Georgetown is a district in Seattle known historically for it’s artists and high levels of toxic chemicals in the soil. Taking a break from manning APW booth, I spent some time strolling down Airport Way. The sun was casting it’s early evening orange, diagonally slicing the top halves of industrial brick buildings while every eight or so steps I was introduced to a new and unnatural smell – a piquant mix of earth and industrial waste. From the handful of times I have been to Georgetown, I gather that it’s a place of dichotomies and rather beautiful.
I hear that real estate values are quickly ascending. I hope that the Georgetown artists who once already relegated their Pioneer Square studios to make due, won’t have to relocate again because of Seattle’s habit of dropping painfully unoriginal shit boxes that they call condos in every neighborhood.
Artists in Georgetown are gonna make it after all?
Hopefully,
