Hey everyone,

We are going to start hosting a new event at the Contradiction Dance
Studio called the Burner Bazaar. The idea behind this is to provide a
place for people who make stuff or have stuff to sell a place to
display their wares. Also, to provide a place for a community garage
sale, all the stuff that you have that while you don't have a use for
it someone else might. And, to provide a place for people to have
stuff deconstructed and/or fabricated and/or to learn how to do it
themselves. I want this to be costuming resource, matching people
with needs with people with skills and/or stuff, a arts and crafts
resource, and a green products resource. An event the encourages the
reusing of stuff and things.

For this trial run, we are asking for a $10 tabling fee it you want
to display your wares, offer a service or offer a workshop. It will
be free to general public, to anyone who simply wants to attend.
Ultimately, we would like this to become a revenue stream to help
support the studio and to be profitable for everyone involved.

Another hope and goal that I have for this event, is that it will
help to start the sourcing of Steampunk clothing and fashion in the
DC area. I am especially interested in this, so depending on how
things go we might be able to help fund something.

To give you an idea, some of the stuff that I will be selling there
are: solar christmas lights, glow poi, staffs, handmade patchwork
wrap skirts from The Mayan Connection, some men's clothing from the
Edun collection and some other super cool solar gadgets.

Please let me know if you are interested in tabling or offering a
workshop as soon as possible so that we can make sure to have enough
tables. Bring on the sewing machines and surgers and seem rippers and
lets create some funky, fun stuff.

We will have a DJ playing some chill tunes and refreshments will be
available. Speaking of which if you want table/sell any food items,
bring them on too, as I am sure we will work up quite an appetite
with all the creative energy being spent.

So, please let me know if you are interested in tabling as soon as
possible because we have a limited number of tables and I need to
know if I need to get more and how many. Also, please let me know if
you are simply interested in attending so that we can gauge interest
in this idea and prepare adequately for the number of people who want
to attend.
