October 16th, 2009 (Austin, TX) – On Saturday, October 24th Electric Promotions and TwoGroove are joining forces to create a spooky smorgasbord of fun. With awesome crafts, great music, delicious treats, amazing giveaways, and much more.

Taking visual cues from the Day of the Dead, this celebration will be nothing short of a creative blast with plenty of crafty goodness, skulls, and ghoulish treats. Watch a special screening of Army of Darkness while grooving to the sweet sounds of Focus Group, Panjoma, and the fabulous Team Fabrication DJs. Create DIY Halloween masks with The WonderCraft including special decorative treats from Sublime Stitching. Participate in a gummy bat/worm eating contest with the winner taking home VIP passes to one of the coolest Halloween events this year: Flip Scene’s Halloween Bash 2009! presented by Cherrypeel.com. Nibble on edible eyeballs and tasty coffin cake from Blue Note Bakery and quench your devilish thirst with red rum compliments of Treaty Oak. To top all that off, there will also be a guitar giveaway. That’s right one lucky person will go home with a brand new guitar!

Costumes are “encouraged and possibly rewarded”…but optional, either way be sure to jump in the photo-booth by Trevor Ray Thompson.  Cool giveaways and great prizes are in store! Like gift certificates to Bird’s Barbershop, passes to see Evil Dead the Musical at the Salvage Vanguard Theater, and more…

Entry is $6 (if you RSVP at www.mixxmake.com) or $8 at the door. The first 50 people through the door get a special treat including something from those thoughtful guys at Yelp.

After you capture the moment, check out the half-pipe and rad skateboard demos provided by the guys at Find n’ Grind skate shop.

We Make Stuff wouldn’t be complete without indulging your own crafty creativity, would it? Stop by the Team Etsy Austin booth to get your own “I make stuff” t-shirt, then dive into make n’ take projects with fabulous ladies of The WonderCraft, recently featured in Austin Monthly. Screen your own shirt design with new screen shop, Under Pressure, and reward yourself with tasty (and complimentary) treats from Nadamoo and Treaty Oak Rum.
And finally, because we know Austinites are not only wild crafters but discerning art critics too, we invite you to be our official skateboard art judges! Check out hand-painted and crafted skateboard decks by amazing designers and artists like Jason Silver, Tom Cox, Anne Genung, Candace Carlisle, Sara Hasslinger and Wendy Offield, many more. After tallying your votes, we’ll reward the winners with gift baskets filled with local goodies, art supplies, and the opportunity to be featured in a future gallery showcase.

Proceeds from We Make Stuff raffle will benefit Art From the Streets (AFTS). Art From the Streets is a non-profit, volunteer-driven art class program that provides a safe and encouraging environment where the positive spirit of homeless people is nurtured through artistic expression.

The first 100 people to arrive at The Scoot Inn will receive a special We Make Stuff goody bag, filled with one-of-a-kind crafts and reusable items.
