Summer giveaway: A Parking Day t-shirt!
me and matt in the Rebar tees,Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Many of you know that my super creative husband Matt (and his group Rebar) are the masterminds behind an international event called Park(ing) Day. Basically, on the same day all over the world, artists, activists and citizens transform metered parking spots into "PARK(ing) spaces: temporary public parks. All sorts of wonderful shenanigans crop up in them: lemonade stands, free bicycle repair stations, libraries, etc. It is a really fun day!
The original Park(ing) Day project, SF, 2005,Canon Digital Rebel XSi
The original Park(ing) day in 2005, involved Rebar doing a guerilla art project of feeding a parking meter in downtown San Francisco, laying down a bed of sod, a park bench, and a tree in it. We watched as people interacted with this tiny little park and photographed the heck out of it. Well, as many good things have, this idea went viral and now every year, people all over the world are doing it on the same day.
You can too! or you can visit the parks in your own city on September 18th. Be sure to get your Park(ing) Day t-shirt and celebrate with all of us on the 18th. (This year's shirt was beautifully designed by Maki Kawaguchi) In the meantime, leave a comment to be in the running for a free t-shirt! I love mine.
Giveaway Guidelines:
-You have until 9PM PST on Wednesday, September 2nd to enter this giveaway.

Posted by: Karen at September 2, 2009 11:13 AMI love this concept! Unexpected yet everyday beauty is the best gift one can give to the people who surround you. I would love to do this in Chicago - where would I put the parking meter receipt? Tied to a balloon string, hanging from a tree branch, taped to a bench? the possibilities are endless, and so fun!

Posted by: kathy grace at September 2, 2009 08:04 AMI was in San Francisco last week on summer holiday and we went to eat at Greens. Lo and behold I saw the portable park and the re-purposed band shell in the parking lot. It felt very cool to tell my husband that I recognized what they were. Both of you keep up the amazing work. It's inspiring.

Posted by: Megan at August 31, 2009 07:04 PMOoooh, I was looking at these shirts the other day...they are very cool!
I have been following you since at least 2005, and so have been aware of Park(ing) Day since then. Trouble (?) is, I live right near the Appalachian mountains. No want for nature and green space around here!
Posted by: Rachel at August 31, 2009 07:03 PMI can't wait to see what folks will do in New York. Lots of creative energy here. What a clever idea! I'm liking the logo on those t-shirts!

Posted by: Janet Davies at August 31, 2009 06:11 PMI remember the first Park(ing) day! It was soon after I started reading your blog, and I remember thinking, "Who are these people and how do I duplicate them and move them to Minnesota?!"
And it's true: People did Park(ing) day here in Minneapolis and St. Paul last year. Love it, and love the t-shirts! Awesome design!
Posted by: Megan at August 31, 2009 06:06 PMI love the shirts! Excellent design.

Not commenting for the shirt ('cause they don't come nearly big enough for me!), but just to say that this is such a brilliant concept. I love everything about it.
