WELP, the Litterpicking Meetup at Gordon Hardware went just about how we thought it would - SWIMMINGLY! Was it humid? Yes. Was there trash? Also, yes. With help from lifelong environmentalists, skaters, musicians, and artists we all joined under one big tent as friends, teaming up to Scour the Earth! Collectively gathering a total of schfifty *COUGH*, sorry - FIFTY POUNDS and putting it right where it should have been - in the correct dumpster. Thank you to our favorite hardware store for sharing your trash-coffins with us.

A new friend Mike stopped by noticing all the fun. Via REAL NON-GMO ORGANIC human interaction, we learned he used to maintain prairie lands in the Chicago area. At home he has been accumulating native plant seeds and relayed that he couldn’t get rid of them all and asked if we knew anyone who would like some. Holy smokes for real, dude? US! We can help distribute those! So everyone who was here picked through and grabbed some. Thank you, Mike, and we will help distribute the rest at future events/in daily life. 🫡. Our raffle winners recognized a valuable score right away - Cherry chose the custom-dyed Average tee and Kayla yoinked that fresh Character Skateboards beanie - gifted to us from AL, himSELF. Big shoutout to Rogue Murals & Signs who borrowed extremely precious time away from mural painting the wall to help us beautify the town EVEN more. Remember, art and artists come in all forms and mediums - whether it’s painting, skating, protecting natural ecology, or uh…driving around in a hearse bringing likeminded folks together and having fun while solving a worldwide problem. YOU are an artist and so is YO MOMMA!
