It's already July, and we're heading out West! Come visit Etsy at Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles (July 11th-12th) or San Francisco (July 18th-19th). We'll have a booth at both events and will be giving away lots of Etsy goodies, promos and maybe even holding a raffle or two. If you haven't been to a Renegade Craft Fair before, they are tons of fun, and many of your favorite Etsy artists will be vending.

But we can't go all the way to California and not visit a few more cities on the West Coast while we're there! If you're in or near Seattle, Vancouver, or Portland, we're heading to your town and would love to get together. Come to an Etsy meet up! We'll be answering questions about the site, talking about the future and listening to all your ideas (and eating snacks and having fun while we do it).

Etsy West Coast Tour - Please click here to RSVP for the cities below

July 11 — Los Angeles meet up with Sara and Anda, 8pm at the Veranda Bar of the Figueroa Hotel. We'll be at Renegade Craft Fair until 7pm, and the Figueroa is a short walk away. If you're vending at the Fair, stop by afterward to unwind and chat with us!

July 13 — Seattle meet up with Maria, Matt and Anda, 6pm at Greenwood Collective

July 14 — Vancouver meet up with Maria, Matt and Anda, 7pm at the Cambrian Hall 

July 16 — Portland meet up with Matt and Anda, 7pm at the Doug Fir Lounge

See you out West this July! Post in the comments if we'll see you there!

Sounds like great fun! Looking forward to the Etsy Midwest tour.

Any plans for something around the San Francisco Renegade Fair? I know y'all recently hosted a get-together in San Francisco last month, so perhaps that's not in the works this time around. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it last month. I'll be at Renegade, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody there!

I am a vendor at the LA Renegade. Please stop by booth 12! yeh!

July 5, 2009 at 5:40 a.m. UntilItEnds

Wouldn't Monterey Bay be a good location choice for one of these events? Smack-dab in the central coast of California. Most won't stop talking about how beautiful Monterey is, and they have plenty of fairs and crafting events that I've seen more people go to than I thought even lived there. Complete with the famous Pebble Beach. ;]

July 5, 2009 at 11:29 a.m. smashgirl

would love to see you in LA, hope to make it!

July 5, 2009 at 1:41 p.m. AmandaKLockrowJewels
