free clothes?...

yeah, and i gotta say this is a great idea. at motor city (on ludlow between rivington and delancey) they have a "monthly" event called "thrift on" where people bring in clothes they don't want anymore and go home with new ones... there's no cover, and it's at a bar, so it's like icing on the cake if you're planning a night out anyway. there was good stuff, crappy stuff, and then a raffle around midnight for "better" goods, like a typewriter, a few nice vintage dresses, two free drinks, etc.. we were among the last to win, but walked away with a few pairs of vintage, seamed stockings... you know the type, the nylon doesn't stretch like modern stockings so when you hold it up it looks like a leg complete with foot, calf, knee and thigh...

plenty of clothes to browse through...

one of the earlier winners choosing her prize...

there were as many people drinking cocktails as beer..

the bartenders were very nice...
