Hiya folks,

We’ve had quite the good times back home in Philadelphia: sharing meals, telling stories and participating in a favorite past time – Buy Nothing Day.  It comes from the fine folks at Adbusters, read up on the where & why at their website.

You might be aware some of the interviewees from The Ordinary Radicals have tons of fun every year putting on Buy Nothing Day events all across the US & Canada.  One particular BND event close to our hearts here is the Philadelphia event.  It’s organized by friends connected to The Simple Way and features everyone’s favorite thrift store super friends: The USAntiheroes!

Read up on their past antics while Jamie heads out to film their latest adventure.

   Glad to see I’m not the only one who celebrates this day! All that rampant consumerism literally makes me feel ill. My wife and I are actually trying to do a buy-nothing Christmas this year.

   In the spirit of Buy Nothing Day I… bought something. I bought velcro. Thankfully I was not shot or trampled by any overexcited shoppers, unlike our friends on either coast. May the casualties of consumerism rest in peace.
