Fun One: Indie Industries 1 Year Party

Tomorrow night, may we gently suggest that you consider hitting the beach. And when we say beach, we mean North Beach. The location? Indie Industries. The why? Because the cozy milk carton of a space is celebrating one year in The City, as well as a new art show featuring the work of Matt Atkins, Jason Raish and the guys of Hella More Funner (creators of the raddest – not to mention only – sleeping bag art we’ve ever seen).

Show up on the early side, and you might be lucky enough to scoop up one of the swag bags designated for the party’s first 25 guests. Whatever time you arrive, you’ll be gifted with sangria, a $10 rack and a buy-one, get-the-second-for-50-percent-off sale on everything in the store. Gift cards for $50 will be handed out randomly throughout the evening, and anyone who RSVPs in advance via Going will receive a $10 gift coupon emailed after the show.

Pin Up Girls: Rosenmunns + Light Vision Pin Party at Anica

The folks behind the interest-piquing party invites shown here announcing the upcoming RosenMunns + Light Vision Pin Party want you and your indie fashion-minded friends to do two very simple things this Friday night. One, get some pins (a.k.a. buttons). If you’re like us, you’ve got a small pin army chilling, quite without purpose, on, in or around your nightstand-bookshelf-jewelry box-dresser drawers. And guess what? They’d really like a way cooler venue.

Which brings us to the second thing you should do Friday night. Head to Anica, where the minds behind local label RosenMunns and online indie retailer Light Vision will be waiting. There, they will ask you to ever-so-gingerly affix your pins to an oversized, sweatshirt-like garment designed, dyed and sewn by RosenMunns and worn by a live model for the soiree. Photographer Bryan Krueger will document the garment’s evolution from relatively blank canvas to pin-addled wearable art. Punk tunes and good ‘ole rock ‘n roll will fill the air. You will leave pinless, but happy. And after the party, Light Vision will sell the evening’s experimental garment in its online store.

As Light Vision’s Krista Bachmeier tells us, “It’s a collaboration, fashion, art event party, and the concept of it is really simple. We just want people to show up, pins in hand, and put them on the model. We are trusting the audience to supply us with pins and help with the creation of this garment.”
