TrickGo Boutique opening tonight

If you’re in need of something to do tonight, check out tonight’s opening of TrickGo Clothing’s new brick-and-mortar digs on Antique Row.

TrickGo Clothing is a small clothing company based out of Philadelphia. It was started by Matt Trigaux in his tiny dorm freshman year of college. …

TrickGo was started in January 2008. It has deep roots within the Philadelphia creative community and strives to create limited edition, graphic tee’s and accessories. TrickGo is intentionally kept exclusive and is only available online and in a few select boutiques across the country.

What’s the most adorable, though, is that Trigaux is kind of an American Wet Dream of an entrepreneur. He makes a point of mentioning in most ads that he only recently started TrickGo from nothing on his top bunk as a freshman at UArts (there’s more pictures of the early stages on his about page), worked hard drumming up internet business, got his T-shirts into boutiques and now has enough money to open his own store, although some of the designs might get you heckled at a teabag party:

Next step: getting some minimum-wage employees to work 25 hours a week. We kid! Next step is trading complicated financial products based on life insurance, because that worked out really well with mortgages.

Also kidding there. However, we do wish this guy luck. You show everyone the power of capitalism, kid!

Oh, and speaking of politics, I guess everyone clapped their hands enough? Thanks, state legislature, for FINALLY PASSING THE BUDGET. We do, we DO believe in fairies! And now, to rescue Wendy!
