Grape Cloth x West Coast Kix Unite To Help Japan

Catastrophe strikes when we seem to be the most comfortable. Trends come and go, interests shift and we fixate on aspirations and dreams while willfully becoming blind to inevitable tragedy.

Catastrophe strikes when we seem to be the most comfortable. Trends come and go, interests shift and we fixate on aspirations and dreams while willfully becoming blind to inevitable tragedy. Bad transforms to worse in seconds and the scrambling to help grows frantic. Timing is crucial for rebirth and reconstruction. We want to help facilitate constant aid to those in need. That is why Grape Cloth has teamed up with Richmond street-wear boutique West Coast Kix to help our brothers and sisters in Japan as they resurrect their great land after a deadly tsunami wreaked instant havoc on their community. In conjunction with West Coast Kix owner Ben Margolis, we printed 24 limited edition t-shirts to raise money for the American Red Cross to aid Japan’s people in their time of need.

Go by the shop at 3016 West Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23221, to buy this limited edition West Coast Kix x Grape Cloth tee and show support for those that need it the most.

Cost = $25

100% of proceeds got to the Red Cross

Review | Grace and Glorie is So Good You Forget it’s Acting

Yes, this is a review of the play Grace and Glorie, currently at Hanover Tavern. It is the Hanover Tavern part of that sentence that I want to focus on first. I’m probably going to get some side-eye for this, but I completely forgot Hanover Tavern existed. What in the...

Review | BLKS is a Mixed Bag at Richmond Triangle Players

I often come off like a chihuahua on sugar pills when reviewing plays for this magazine. I am excitable, yes, but never in the service of idle flattery. I also take no joy in being critical of people’s hard work. I’ve said this whole thing before several times, but I...
