#aasbooth

TBT to our amazing inaugural booth adventure at AAS229 last week! It was a smashing success and the place to be during the conference. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, supported us, helped make it happen. 

Thanks to all our amazing vendors: Stern Design Works, SMLX Good, Tactile Melodies, Celestial Buddies, Svaha, Eclectic Eccentricity, Pacalin, Lost in Space Jewelry, Yugen Tribe, Boutique Academia, SciChic, Pretty Little Earth, Kokoba, Astronobeads, and Shenova. 

And thanks to all our stellar volunteers: Vanshree Bhalotia, Colleen Cleary, Victoria DiTomasso, Stephanie Douglas, Marina Dunn, Jaquelin Erazo, Haley Fica, Paige Godfrey, Karen Knierman, Rachael Livermore, Rebecca McElroy, Ashely Pagnotta, Teresa Panurach, Nicole Cabrera Salazar, Jeanine Shea, Jennifer Weston.

As we mentioned to everyone we spoke with, almost all of our vendors are offering SPECIAL DISCOUNTS! You can find a link to all the vendors and their discount codes on either the conference website or the app (as pictured above). Discounts are good at least through Sunday, January 15 with the possibility of extension...stay tuned... 

NOTE: the more you support (read: buy from!) our AAS229 vendors, the more likely we are to expand booth next year and actually be able to sell things on site! 

Here’s our booth (#803) at AAS229! How many of our favorite astrofashion items do you recognize? All of the vendors are listed here, and we’ll be posting about them the rest of the week!

Happy New Year, Startorialists! 

Summer is headed to Grapevine, Texas for the 229th American Astronomical Society meeting to run our very first booth in the AAS Exhibition Hall. If you’ll be around this week, stop by BOOTH 803 to see the awesomeness. 

NOTE: we aren’t selling any actual items this time around since it’s our first venture into the exhibitor arena. BUT, we have secured A TON of display samples from 15 different vendors we love so you can check out their products in person. Plus AAS created a dedicated website for our booth with links to all the vendors that you can shop through on-site at our booth or anytime during the conference. 

BUT WAIT...THERE’S MOAR: many of our vendors are offering discounts up to 20% off just for AAS!

Vendors include: Stern Design Works, SMLX Good, Tactile Melodies, Celestial Buddies, Svaha, Eclectic Eccentricity, Pacalin, Lost in Space Jewelry, Yugen Tribe, Boutique Academia, SciChic, Pretty Little Earth, Kokoba, Astronobeads, and Shenova.

Emily and her new bundle of starstuff will be highlighting these vendors all week from NYC. 

Check out our posters from AAS 227 in 2016 and AAS 225 in 2015 and all our posts from each meeting here: AAS227, AAS225.

While Summer runs the booth at AAS229 in Texas, I’ll be posting about the vendors (a rather corporate-sounding but nicely catch-all term for the artists/ designers/entrepreneurs/companies we’re partnering with), from my couch NYC! The conference officially starts tonight and runs through Sunday, January 7. After that we’ll resume our regular posting themes, and because of our hiatus we have a LOT to share!

Watch this space for more on our featured vendors* today!

ETA: Thanks to all our amazing vendors: Stern Design Works, SMLX Good, Tactile Melodies, Celestial Buddies, Svaha, Eclectic Eccentricity, Pacalin, Lost in Space Jewelry, Yugen Tribe, Boutique Academia, SciChic, Pretty Little Earth, Kokoba, Astronobeads, and Shenova.
