The Tempest - 431 Natoma

Duct Tape Wallets

WARNING!! CODE RED! Is your money safe?

Once again it's terrorist season, and certain anti-American types might topple the United States by opening up cracks in your hot air vents and cause a greater dependency on foreign oil. But we're not gonna let them get away with it, because we now carry a roll of duct tape on us at all times. But did you know that you can also fashion personal accessories with the rest of the roll after you're through defending the homeland? Look here:

We'll be starting off with simple projects like the popular Duct Tape Can Cozy (wrap one layer around your beer can and voila! New Insulated Grip Surface!), and progress up to the more ambitious Duct Tape Outdoor Lawn Tent. For people new to the craft, a great starter project is the Duct Tape Wallet, which not only holds expired MUNI transfers and whatever money you still have, but also shields a small portion of your butt in the event of a nuclear attack! (Mil-spec 1277AN anti-radiation tape required) Sure, Martha Stewart has no problem working with natural-dye canvas in a well-lit studio, but can she perform in a noisy bar environment under the influence of $2 Buds??

Grab your roll of 2" Instant Landlord, bring a ruler and scissors and join us for an evening of duct tape insanity.
