Mayamda Super Fun (and Only Slightly Damp) Picnic Time!
There are a few things we at mayamada learned over the weekend.
- Don’t trust British weather or weathermen.
- Touchscreen phones don’t work too well in a downpour.
- Good people will come through whatever the weather.
This past Saturday saw the first mayamada picnic this weekend, but it almost didn’t happen. It started off well when we got to the park and unpacked everything in the middle of Hyde Park…and then came the rain!
After getting very wet, buying a few emergency umbrellas, a shower curtain and deck chairs for an improvised tent…we decided that we couldn’t wait out the rain and found nearby cover.
But the great thing is people still turned up, and once the rain cleared we went from this….
To this.
A really great turn out considering the early downpour.
Of course, we had mayamada cupcakes on show again…
…and things turned out well in the end – high five!
For all the planning you do beforehand for an event, it’s highly likely things will not go to, well, plan. Don’t let that fact put you off planning though. Just remember to stay flexible and positive so when things go a little off the rails you can still have a good time – and we did! A big thanks to everyone that came down to make it a super fun time 🙂
Look our for more pictures on our Facebook page. If you were there on the day be sure to let us know what you though too.
Super Fun Picnic Time!
It’s now only a few weeks until our picnic in Hyde Park and the excitement is building.
We’ll be in Hyde Park on the 20th of August for a fun day out to celebrate the end of summer, mayamada style. We’ll have FREE food and drink, a t-shirt giveaway and a few other surprises too 🙂
We recently got a bunch flyers printed to hand out and we’re putting together the menu and plans for entertainment. You keep up with our plans for the day on the event page.
StreetFest !!!!!
In the UK it was a long weekend and boy did we take advantage! The weather just about held up so we made it a point to check out one of the first summer events of the year, StreetFest.
For those of you that did not click the link above, StreetFest describes itself as “London’s number one street culture festival” which we would agree with. There was a lot going on, Graffiti, Strret Dance, BMX, Skatebaording, Inline, photography, Street art, FOOD music and surprisingly T-Shirts! We didn’t expect to see our fellow competitors in such force but I wouldn’t call it a stretch to say Tshirts were a major attraction.
We ran into the ladies from Show Love “The brand with heart”. I had to get a shot of the varsity jacket shown below. Why? I just love em okay and that’s why I snagged another shot with one of the lads from Ask Your Girl.
We really liked the persistent logo.
Kayobi’s African infused clothing were also present at the festival and drew a fair bit of interest. These guys really understand their audience with their tongue in cheek nod to African culture found within the “Make X not war” line.
There was an opportunity to design your very on Addidas trainers.
(Note the detailed London skyline)
We met Supremebeing as soon as we stepped into the festival. Great guys and a selection that really reflects the brand ethos.
All in all, it was a good day. We came away entertained, better informed and encourages by our fellow T-shirt makers. Everyone was in high spirits and we wish we could feature all of the companies but space is short.
New Site and New Tees This Week
It’s been a hard few weeks, but we’ve been hard at work getting out an all new website featuring the pictures from our photoshoot. We think it looks great and you’ll get to see it over the weekend. Along with that, we’ve got two new tees from a new theme. Here’s a preview:
We’ve had a good reaction so far and hopefully you will like them too, we’d love to know what you think. They’ll be available as soon as the new site is up on Friday…finger crossed!
What else is coming up for mayamada? Well we’ll be at StreetFest on the 30th of May checking out all London has to offer in street culture. We’re looking forward to meeting some interesting people and seeing the mix of talents and styles at the event. Look forward to lots of pictures and video from us there.
