Awesome Fest will be help August 21st, 2010 at Wild Goose Creative. We will be sponsoring the events with 15 caps, 5 from last years theme(Jaws) and 10 from this years theme(Dirty Harry.) These caps are part of the One of a Kind line made from unique t-shirts. Here are some details that I pulled from the website.

“Pabst Blue Ribbon will once again be a donor. That means free beer for everyone! Not too many things are more awesome than that. Secondly, it looks like we will get a bit of screen time of WCMH channel 4. I had a chance to talk to Rick Reitzel the other day and he is definitely interested in what we are doing. Seagull Bags is going to donate one of their brilliant bags to the silent auction again this year. Don’t know about you but I can’t wait to see what they come with. Finally, Octopus Caps will be making 15 custom caps for the auction. Several of them will be made out of last years Jaws design. So make sure to bring plenty of spending money this year. And remember, all of this is for the kids.” -awesomefest.tumblr.com
