I had a fantastic, albeit short time at 24 hour Toy Break last night. If you missed it, I revealed something amazing, a plush Nerdly! This was the prototype (hand made by Flat Bonnie, numbered 01), and sold for $75 to benefit the show. But more are on the way and you'll get your chance to win one hopefully soon. Stay tuned for details!
Once a year my friends George and Ayleen host a 24 hour episode of their wonderful weekly web show Toy Break. Artists and toy enthusiasts from all over join in the fun as we raise money to help make the show better. I'll be there tonight (probably 8ish)
I'll post to Facebook when I'm heading over, see you tonight!
If you're like me your nerdiness extends beyond just the realm of bricks. If you're also into designer toys, art, vinyl and just toys in general, I'd like to introduce you to Toy Break (if you don't know about it already). Toy Break is a weekly web series hosted by Ayleen and George Gaspar. Tomorrow night they are broadcasting their yearly 24 hour live show, and I'm going to be there.
Join me at 5pm PST on Friday with Ayleen, George and a ton of artists and toy enthusiasts as we raise funds for Toy Break and just have a lot of fun.
