Did you Score? Score Pop-Up Swap This Saturday May 29th!

Reinvent. Reuse. Radness. That's the motto of the Score Pop-Up Swap, a one day FREE FOR ALL that allows participants to donate gently used items and take home a few too. In case you missed the last 2 swaps, each drew over 1000 people so this is a not-to-be-missed event! See you there! x

What: Pro curators (Etsy, Alpha One Labs, Market Publique) organize your old clothing, books, music, electronics, and crafts by category; $3 at the door gets you as much as you can grab.
Why: Proceeds from the mega trade will be donated to Global Inheritance (a nonprofit dedicated to youth activism); leftovers go to charity.
When: Sat., noon-6 p.m.
Where: Bklyn Yard, 400 Carroll St., b/t Bond & Nevins Sts., Gowanus. R.S.V.P. online at http://www.scorepopupswap.com/spring2010/

Trophy Bar is hosting the latest spookified “Score!” swap. Bring your old zombie makeup, Bob Ross wigs, Mr. T chains etc, and score some new threads for Hallow’s eve. Exchange outfits with your friends, get new ideas from professional “costume consultants”, drink creepy-themed drinks, and dance to good tunes.

Cost: $5 entry, RSVP Required, 21+

COCKTAILS OF DOOM They're squeezing buckets of blood oranges for the O-Positive Mimosas. Mimosas, Bloody Marys, and Micheladas, aka hellfire beer, served up by the Trophy drink masters for $5 a pop.

How does Score Of Doom work you ask?

Step 1: RSVP

Step 2: Rummage through your closet for anything that fits in the following categories:

- Full costumes

- Costume pieces (wigs, props, spandex? oooh, spandex!)

- Make-up

Step 3: Bring your old costumes to Trophy Bar.

Step 4: Grab a “Cocktail of Doom” (drink specials include Bloody Mary’s and Blood Orange Mimosas)

Step 6: Drink, dance, find a new costume, get a make-up tutorial, and if you still don’t know what to “be”… talk to our professional costume consultants. Score!
