FREE Beer and Wine at Alite Designs Pop Up Store

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news


While The North Face, Coleman and Kelty make some quality tents and sleeping bags, none of them make a sleeping bag that you can wear like a jumpsuit. But Alite Designs came to the rescue with their “Sexy Hotness” sleeping bag with zip apart legs, so you can wrap yourself up in an exoskeleton and still run around to get marshmallows. And their entire line of camping and outdoor products (like tents shaped like old school RVs, brightly colored and dog collars with tiny zip up compartments) are going to be easier to get. Alite is celebrating their product launch with EMS with a pop up store in Soho. The store opens tomorrow with a party that promises free beer and wine. And if you’re not going to make it camping this summer, hanging out in a tent inside a store is the second best thing.

Kiley E - Ragamuffin Researcher

Kiley E - Ragamuffin Researcher

After years of denial, Kiley has finally admitted to baring a striking resemblance to Velma from Scooby Doo. Instead of traveling in a van hunting ghosts, she prefers wandering on foot in search of tacos, cheap beer, and fake birds. Growing up in Portland, Kiley enjoyed the balance of urban and green spaces. Then she spent her four years at Ithaca College, and found herself craving more sprawling asphalt in her life. So she moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where most of the buildings look like they're about to collapse. Kiley's favorite activities include: getting lost, crafting, sewing, biking, and geeking out at museums. Her love of taxidermy probably makes her a terrible vegetarian, but she doesn't care.
