Team TheWeepingAngels is looking for a few more members! This will be our ninth year Gishing. We are an in-it-to-win-it team who usually makes the coffee table book and hall of fame, and while we’re competitive we still manage to have a lot of fun.

If you’re looking for a seasoned, motivated, LGBTQ-friendly, weird team to join, look no further! Please feel free to reach out here on tumblr or send a message to our <a href=“mailto:[email protected]”>team email</a>.

Happy Gishing!!

#105 - “We Create, Therefore We Live.” Help us spread the word, Gishers! Make a breathtaking “We Create, Therefore We Live” sign that epitomizes GISH to you. You may create our catchphrase out of anything you like (or a combination of materials): calligraphy, paint, candy, collaged magazines, books, buttons, recyclables, skywriting… You get the idea. Schedule or post it at exactly 8 PM PDT on social media and tag #GISH, #BookBash, & @mishacollins. Then, submit the original image to us and share/retweet/amplify as many other teams' submissions across all of social media as you can, too. Make it trend, weirdos!
