Thanks to everybody who came out for the DIY Quick & Dirty Ephemera Swap at EFA Project Space. Thanks also to EFA for hosting this excellent event.
Turnout was fantastic, and I’m sure this was the best ephemera swap in the whole city! There was a lot of competition, because Friday night ephemera swaps are a long-time holiday tradition in Manhattan (ed. note: they are not).

We saw many New Yorkers, but other swappers came from miles around! Everybody was in the mood to trade: maybe it was the season, the excellent party tunes, or just the company of fellow ephemera-makers. The festive, friendly atmosphere allowed for exchanges that were fast-paced, but not hectic.

Thanks to everyone who came on a cold wintery night! We had a great time and from all the swapping frenzy pictured here, it looks like you did too!
