RECAP: Buy Nothing Day 2009
11.29.2009 | by Dylan | 3 Comments
We held the first ever Kensington Park Neighborhood Exchange on Friday in celebration of Buy Nothing Day 2009 – Basically it was a small scale swap meet where everyone & anyone was invited to bring things with value to trade for other things of value – We traded with food, tools, clothes and music and most importantly not with money. Now with all due respect, I must apologize because it was thrown together a bit last minute but I was really excited by the turn out. It was a blast and we got to hang out with some new friends. It was such a nice day to relax outside in the park – Keegan cooked some killer potatoes and we got a little frisbee in too. My vote for the best trade of the day is tied between, Kevin trading the Ken Cinema a Jeff Buckley CD for a tray of popcorn and the three-way trade that involved an IggyPop record, Hard Ticket to Hawaii VHS, and a Budweiser track jacket.
