Bloging about being Bloged?

Over the weekend Brian from The Daily Cross Hatch blog came though the store. We had a short chat and he did a nice feature about us on his blog. For those of you who have never set foot in the store there are some good pics and some well edited quotes from me waxing about the store and the hood. Looks good, so thanks Brian.

Check it out!

Don’t Miss Our Back to Art School Poster Sale and Last Chance Zine Extravanganza

Why what’s that, you ask? Well, the posters are some limited edition show posters and other gems, and the zine part is all about zines that won’t be in these parts much longer. We’ve pulled them and put them in one space all together so that you won’t lose out on the opportunity to drool over them and make them your own. But don’t wait too long! Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
