We’ve got some amazing raffle prizes in store for the swap, including a two-night hotel stay at the Holiday Inn in Santa Monica, a waterproof iPod boombox, and an 8GB iPod in hot pink! Everyone who comes to the swap will receive one raffle ticket with admission, which is $5 if you bring clothing/media/housewares to swap and $10 if you come as you are. VIP tickets, with front-of-the-line passes, freebies, and more, are $15. Tickets are being sold exclusively through Goldstar. Admission is free at 2 p.m.

Drop off your swappables from 10-noon, then chill while we organize and sort everything from noon-1. The swap is from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, June 19, 2010. What to do while we are sorting your swappables? There are a ton of restaurants, thrift shops, and stores within walking distance of the NoHo Performing Arts Center, 11020 Magnolia Blvd in North Hollywood, where the swap is being held. I compiled a list of places to eat and things to do.

Directions from every direction! You shan’t get lost on your way to the swap with these guidelines.
