Save The Dates: Obey / Giant Sample Sale - 12/7, 12/8

Black Friday has come and gone but there's one more killer sale that you shouldn't miss -the Obey Sale.

For the last few years we have been lucky enough to learn about the sale, this year held in a warehouse The OC, and today we are very happy to share the dates with you.

When: Friday, December 7th from 9a - 7p & Saturday, December 8th from 9a - 5p Where: 3500 West Carriage Drive, Santa Ana CA, 92704

What: Cash & Visa/MC only - All Sales Final - No Return/Exchanges - No Bags - No Backpacks - No Obey is to Be Worn - No Bad Attitudes

Obey, of course is the creation of world-renowned street artist
Shepard Fairey who started by giving his art away via plastering billboards and electrical boxes with interesting images and sayings.Now he is a successful graphic artist whose work has been commissioned by rock bands, corporations, and shown in art galleries.

What's great about the Sample Sale is that even if you're a huge fan of his work, there's always something new (or old) that you might have never seen before. And it's sold at rock bottom prices. Tshirts for $5-10, pants for under $20, and jackets for under $40.

And it's nice to see the cool kids filling up the garbage bags with their booty that makes excellent Christmas gifts, although we usually end up keeping most of our purchases for ourselves.

One thing we really enjoyed snagging at the last sale was a few editions of Fairey's excellent hardbound magazine Swindle. Save up, get there early, and score. Shopping is your religion, after all, and money is your God.
