Mr. Toast Party @ Japan LA (3.13)
Japan LA is throwing a Mr. Toast Party this Saturday, March 13th 2010 (7-10 PM) and you’re invited. If you love the retro simplicity of Dan Goodsell’s Mr. Toast, this is the place to be. Pretty much anything Toasty your heart desires (plush, vinyl, Tees, and more) will be available. Come on out to meet Dan, pose with the real-life Mr. Toast (ok, it’s a costume), get a sketch, and score a Mr. Toast Goody Bag with the purchase of any item (first 100 customers). As you can see above, each bag is hand-painted by Dan Goodsell and features $20+ worth of Toasty goodness. Refreshments? Of course, nothing but the finest… Pabst Blue Ribbon. And if you get the munchies, buy yourself something from the Grilled Cheese Truck which will be stationed outside.
