Trust Newsletter: July 2015
CMYK Wall Update
Our mural has been completed! It was a team effort, with some extra effort from Jeremy and Hector, and we are so excited to present the completed side of our building. It’s really worth seeing in person, so come visit us soon!
4th of July with Creekwood
We’ve posted a few things on our blog and social media about the July Fourth event we were a part of with Creekwood Church, but it was a big, exciting part of our month, so we thought we would recap it one more time. We’ve been printing for Creekwood for a while now, so when they asked us about being a part of their Fireworks & Family event on July 3rd, we jumped at the opportunity. This was a great event, with tons of families sprawled out on the grass, throwing footballs, and eating incredible amounts of hot dogs. There was a watermelon eating contest and most importantly, Kona Ice trucks. It has been our dream since we started live printing to give away t-shirts for free, and our partnership with Creekwood finally made that possible. Trust and Creekwood split the cost of the shirts and we hand printed 953 shirts between 7pm and 11pm on July 3rd.
Dragon Brag
We are sponsors! Trust has partnered with a great little podcast called Dragon Brag and traded some reduced pricing on some awesome shirts for the honor of being the title sponsor. Dragon Brag is a hilarious Game of Thrones podcast that has recently started covering True Detective as well. We would like to give a strong warning that it contains very adult language and themes and is not safe for work (although if you’re cool with the content of the shows that they are covering, you probably will be alright with it, just don’t say we didn’t warn you).
Sponsorship is a new thing for Trust, but we love the concept of trading something that we do well for something somebody else does well. If you’re looking for shirts and you feel like you could offer us something in return, please let us know and we can sit down and try to find a way to mutually benefit.
Austin 2015
Working at Trust Printshop is a unique experience. We truly feel that we have succeeded in creating a family atmosphere, where each person is valued and we actually enjoy spending time with each other. This atmosphere is the reason we are able to successfully pull off something like the weekend trip to Austin we took a couple weeks ago. This has been an eventful year full of excitement and hard work, so Matt decided to treat us to a three day weekend at an awesome rented house near downtown. We hot-tubbed, went tubing, ate some great food, relaxed, and had a fantastic weekend with people that we work with every day. And that is something extremely special and extremely rare.
Check out #TrustATX on instagram to see some more of the photos we were able to take in the small amount of time we weren’t in some body of water or another.
