Jog for Jill: Berkeley Edition

Today the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation hosted the second annual "JOG FOR JILL: A BREATH AWAY FROM THE CURE" @ UC Berkeley.

Last year, over 1,000 students participated to raise funds and increase Lung Cancer awareness and this year was no different as 1,300+ participants came to support the cause. Even with Superbowl fever amidst the community, students and family and friends decided to come together. It was an amazing day.

Fantasy T-Shirts printed some great shirts for all of those who came.

 
 Printed on Fruit white tees: 4 color front / 5 color back screen print. 

 We would like to thank all the sponsors including Global Touch Inc., The Daily Californian, UC Berkeley, and Bear's Lair.

If you have questions or want to become more involved in the fight against lung lancer, go to the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation website. There you can make a donation or register for future events.

i heart free: valentine's day for the broken wallet-ed not the broken hearted

for this post, i was inspired by my own need to keep it wallet-friendly this valentine's day.

(damn you, universe, for making valentine's day the day before pay day!)

just because you don't have money, doesn't mean you can't celebrate.

grab a valentine and hit up these love-themed events, all for free!

ok, lose the valentine if you want. you might find one along the way.

i heart free: despicable free

hi all,

it's me! the other courtney in the freeberkeley fam. (ok, i'm less of a member these days, but still a very big fan.) my posts on this blog will focus on anything free. wait, let me revise that. they will focus on anything free and of quality. i'm not talking about a dirty ass couch on the corner of 45th ave. and noriega. i'm talking about free food, free drink, free movies.

here are my first freeals (see what i did there? free+deal=freeal. i'm working on it, gees!):

the long and short of it...

(braised grass fed english short ribs + potato puree topped with chives)

i love dining out just as much as the next gal, but most of the time i love creating meals in the heart of my home that are as stylish and elegant as a restaurant meal. try this amazing recipe from one of my favorite kitchen gurus, the barefoot contessa, and let your taste buds be wined and dined. i omitted the tomato paste (forgot it at the market!), added brown sugar and finished off the sauce with two tablespoons of butter.

Fantasy heading to ISS convention in Los Angeles.

Fantasy is closing up shop and heading to ISS convention in LA. Bringing back the latest in the apparel industry. Exciting new things coming to the shop. Expansion? Upgrades? New Equipment? Keep Posted.

Once again.....

Maybe you are getting tired of the same old new news...... but we have fallen off the face of the planet, becoming once again, M.I.A. to the freeberkeley community... a thousand apologies. We've been at it with taking in orders and packing our schedules to the brim! Fortunately, Fantasy T-Shirts has come out on top as we can take a step back and say... 2010... was a good year....

lots of exciting news coming up with us at the shop. Fantasy T-Shirts will be going through its third (and hopefully final) renovation process starting in late January. With the expansion comes brand new equipment taking our company to a full service, fully automated powerhouse.... .. yes we are gonna play with the big dogs now... and also a brand new storefront, featuring new brands and collection lines from FreeBerkeley.


January 20-23rd - be sure to catch us out in Long Beach if you're in the area. We will be scooping out the new apparel trends of 2011.... post up with us at Yard House by the piers... first rounds on me
