Better Than Jam is planning some great things for the another First Friday event on October 1st from 7-10pm.  Mingle with the designers of BTJ, sip on complimentary beverages, and come see the playful artwork of Megan Bisbee-Durlam.  The fantastic Miss Fleury Rose will be doing fabulous nails at Tomahawk Salon, where you can get specials on fantastic hair stylings.  The Bushwick Print Lab (and special guests) will be making silkscreen prints LIVE in water-based textile inks.  Come choose from a selection of screens, customize your favorite gear, or reinvigorate your fall wardrobe on the cheap.  Bring your own or pick from a selection of $5 t-shirts.

“I am really excited to see Megan’s work installed,” said Persan.  “And it’s going to so much fun to have some live screen printing at the event.”
