Campfire Goods has over 400 designs, including their popular City Of series, which was featured in Print and Metropolis Magazine, and their Holiday series, an homage to the classic movie, A Christmas Story.

Dude and Chick began about a year ago, when John Gurtin and Katie Wilson decided to join forces after they discovered a shared love for stationery, letterpress, and cool stuff in general. Both John and Katie have a design background, as well as a history of printing and illustration, and together they design and produce every DNC card in-house. Their vintage style and salty humor is a perfect fit for anyone who appreciates a clever pun and some high quality facial hair. At DNC headquarters, days are spent cranking tunes and creating awesomeness. The result is a line of letterpress greeting cards chock full of stationery sweetness.

Dude and Chick is totally jazzed to be at NoCoast, and they want to see you there. You can find out more about their adventures at www.dudeandchick.com.

I just can’t express how stoked I am that the Como Ave Jug Band will be making an appearance Friday night at No Coast. Check out their awesome video and stop by Friday night to see them in person. They’ll be on stage in the Plaza from 7 to 8 p.m.

If you really want to scare yourself, witness the environmental impact of plastic bags on the environment globally. It’s staggering how many we use, and heartening to see that countries all over the world are banning them. We No Coast organizers want to help our shoppers opt out of disposable bags, so we are launching a new product offering this year - the recycled, reusable tote. The new No Coast Craft-o-rama tote is an earth friendly cloth tote made from Ecophab™ - an upcycled fabric made from 100% recycled pop bottles. As an added bonus, the print process is water based and doesn’t create toxic waste. As an even BIGGER bonus, the paper used in the image transferring process is recycled - now THAT’S Earth Friendly!

If you’re a vendor, please encourage your friends and family to bring reusable bags to the event this year. We can make a difference!

All vendors for the No Coast Craft-o-rama are invited to join us for a tour and to pick up advertising materials. We’ll meet at 11 AM at the information desk in the lobby.
