MERCER UNION’S SECOND EVER CLOTHING SWAP:

The Mind-Blowing Legacy of Extreme Awesomeness Continues…

Sunday, July 15, 6pm

Mercer Union

37 Lisgar Street

FREE

Sort of almost one year to the day after last year’s triumphant Clothing Swap, Mercer Union is pleased to once again present an exercise in the mutual appreciation of that which garbs us.

Here’s how it works:

You come with clothing to swap–one item or thirty (or two hundred), whatever you want to exorcise from your closet.

Come when the swap starts.

Put your items into the appropriate piles (pants, sweaters, etc.)

Once a critical mass of people has been achieved, a MC will go through items one-by-one, describing them to the expectant masses.

If only one person wants it, they get it.

If more than one person wants the item, and it can’t be decided immediately, the item goes into “The Pile of Contention.”

Once all items have been gone through, people can start trying on items they wanted that went into The Pile.

If trying things on doesn’t determine who wants the piece, then a roll of the dice can make the decision.

There will be separate change room zones for men and women. There will be mirrors (so you can see how mucho awesome the pants you like look on your bum). There will be juice and cookies.

Leftover clothes go a local charity.

Please RSVP so we can have an idea of how many to expect:
aileen@mercerunion.org, include “Clothing Swap RSVP” in the subject line.

Bring the good, the sad, the polyester.

Put your items into the appropriate piles (pants, sweaters, etc.)

Once a critical mass of people has been achieved, a hapless MC will go
through items one-by-one, describing them to the expectant masses.

If only one person wants it, they get it.

If more than one person wants the item, and it can’t be decided immediately, the item goes into “The Pile of Contention.”

Leftover clothes can go the Mercer Union Garage Sale (Saturday, August 5, 8am-4pm) and/or a local charity.
