Things you need to know
- There is a clothes swap, bring clothes to swap for clothes. Please
don't bring damaged or otherwise ruined clothes, put in what you want to
get out, that's how it works. It is a swap, no money is exchanged :)
- There is an arts & crafts swap. This is much the same, bring an item
to exchange for an item. Bring something that is useful and usable for
