If you haven't heard yet, Ford Motor Company gave Sezio and Holiday Matinee an unreleased Ford Fiesta for 6 months, with a gas card and a ton of free electronics. Each month, we're tasked on spending their advertising budget on creative events and on our talented network of friends and artists.
For Mission #3, we've teamed up with Tocayo to create an apparel design for ROXY, based on the Fiesta vibe. Being so close to Mexico, we choose Baja as our theme and let Tocayo do his thing.
To celebrate this recent collaboration, we're hosting a FIESTA of our own Monday, May 24th at Super El Camino in Little Italy. From 7-8pm there'll be FREE FOOD and $3 beers and margaritas. We'll also be screen printing the above design on shirts and tote bags. If you'd like to partake, bring a crisp $20 dollar bill or you can show up with a shirt from home (preferably light in color).
To get in on the free food and cheap drinks, you need to RSVP here.

As usual, we never know quite what to expect from our art contests, but we seem to always be pleasantly surprised by the results. Our two winners will receive a pair of tickets each to this Saturday's Beach to Brewery Beer + Music Fest hosted by Karl Strauss.
Jaime Aoyama, of Studio Aiuto in Encinitas, turned a year long recycling project into an Aztec inspired installation using 237 bottles and 110 pounds of glass. View a larger photo here.
Our next winner is titled Sr. Monstro, constructed from two PBR tall cans by Beckri Eguez. Her email noted that the contest gave her a good excuse to put back a couple beers this week.
Congrats to both of our winners! If your entry wasn't chosen, or you just heard about the contest now - you can still buy tickets online until 2pm Friday. Visit Karl Strauss for more details.

Tomorrow evening the Yeller folks will be packing the zines they received from over 80 artists to the Subtext courtyard for their Papercuts Zine Swap. It will be a friendly night of refreshments, flipping through zines, and creative trade. If you didn't sign up with Yeller to make a zine you can still bring your own to swap, just make sure you have at least 15 copies because there's a lot of people participating and zines go quick. And if you are hoping to bring home a zine or two but don't have one to trade, pack something else of interest that you can barter with and see if you can strike a deal. It all starts at 7 and more info is available on the Yeller Website.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros sold out this week's Belly Up show in less than an hour. I guess word traveled around town quickly about how awesome their last performance was. The fine folks at Belly Up are holding a pair of tickets for Sezio (unfortunately we're going to SF for Hot Chip / The XX and Yeasayer) so we're leaving the tickets up for grabs. Here's the catch:
We'd like to see an artistic rendering of the band's name. Draw, Paint, Capture or Photoshop a literal representation of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Submit your entry to info@sezio.org by 11:55pm on Wednesday. The winning entry will be announced via twitter and facebook Thursday morning at 10am.
*Winner Announced
Congrats to Angela Nguyen and her clever sketch entitled 'E-Sharpe'.
