On Saturday, if you are in Sydney head to the Bondi Bowl-a-rama. Outside of the usual skate antics you’d expect to see at this annual event, LA’s HIT+RUN have been invited to screen-print “live” and giveaway 1,000 T-shirts. Yep, 1,000. H+R is headed by T-world’s own Eddie Zammit and partnered with Shannon McKinnon. Zammit has said simply, “Be there fashionably early to score a limited edition tee never to be repeated again. We have the likes of our very own Dale Bigeni and Nowhere Famous’s Nick Rudenno providing exclusive art.” And this all, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Huawei Mobile.

BE EXCITED!!!
