NYC Punk + Underground Record Fair

NYC Punk + Underground Record Fair
Josh, Brian (Iron Hand), and I (Rick) will be at Southpaw in Brooklyn, NY tomorrow from 10AM until 4:30PM selling (and buying) records.  If you’re in the area or if you have nothing going on then make it out.  The dealer list looks incredible (it is on the Facebook Event Page linked below the flier). Every great dealer in the area that I can think of will be there.  
Sean will be at the shop in Wallingford all day – wish him a belated happy birthday (it’s today). The shop’s used section might be a bit slimmer than you might want for the day (we’re bringing 3 tables worth of records) so excuse that.  We’ll bring back what’s left and whatever deals we find at the fair Saturday night and we’ll have it ready for sale on Sunday at the shop.

Holiday Toy Drive

HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE 
for children with special needs
We are participating in a local toy drive.  If you’ve been in the store lately you’d have noticed this box up front:
 
You have until December 18th to bring some joy to a child by dropping off a toy here or at any of the other drop-off locations around New Haven. 
(Devil’s Gear Bike Shop, Romeo & Cesare’s, Fuel Coffee, Miya’s Sushi)
 
“The toys will help children with many different disabilities that include autism, down syndrome, global developmental delays, Hypotonia, and a number of other chromosomal anomalies. (all of the children that are receiving the toys are also in lower socio-economic levels). 

There are are a number of toys that are beneficial these include puzzles, nesting cups, blocks, books (simple picture books), cause/effect toys (pop ups, lights/sounds) cars, trucks, dolls. Here are a few links to for ideas: beyondplay.com and funandfunction.com. Toys R Us also is really great at labeling the toys. They have a catalog for differently abled kids.

 
“The holiday toy drive for children with special needs focuses on children with special needs between the ages of 0-3. Our goal is to collect new and gently used, unwrapped toys during the holiday season. These toys are then distributed just before Christmas to needy children with special needs in our community. We want all children to experience the magic and joy of the holiday season regardless of their abilities or socioeconomic status

Providing the children with toys that are appropriate for their skill level and using them to teach new skills is also very important. Often times the toys needed to practice a skill are financially unavailable to the family, which is why the toy drive is so important in helping to serve as two functions: first as a holiday gift and second as a necessary therapeutic tool.

We consult with a team of professionals who work in the early intervention field to provide the best fit for each child. We just need your help with collecting the toys. Some of the best items to donate include nesting cups, blocks, stacking rings, shape sorters, puzzles, books, cause and effect toys, trucks, dolls, pop beads, lacing beads, yoga balls, and balance toys”

New Stickers, Shirts & Hoodies

We have a new sticker design.  That design is also on shirts and hoodies.  
The above image is the sticker design – the shirt and hoodie are basically the same, but do not have the tag line and web address.  Pictures to follow.


The T-Shirts are white ink on black Alternative Apparel Vintage Soft (100% Egyptian Cotton).  They are incredibly soft – softer even than the American Apparel shirts we’ve had in the past.  Seriously.  Soft.  Comfortable.  We have adult sizes Small-XXL.  They are $12 each in store.

The pull-over hoodies are also white on black.  They are on Gildan 50/50 (half cotton, half polyester).  They are also pretty darn soft for a hoodie.  They are warm and nice.  We have these also in adult sizes Small-XXL.  These are $25 each in store.  Shogun Shop did the screening on all of these (The T’s and the Hoodies) and they came out great.

Once again we had Contagious Graphics print stickers for us (if you ever use them please use us as a reference).  They are sweet vinyl stickers and are free at the shop (if you order anything from us ask for one and we’ll stick it in with your order).

If you want to mail order these please do.  Ordering buttons below these handsomely modeled pictures below.

Finally, if you are wondering the significance of all these icons or runes, well, I’ll give you an idea right now.  First of all, this was inspired by and is a tribute to one of my favorite record labels – one that uses a series of runes above their name (ask me [Rick] and I’ll tell you right off the bat – guess and I’ll give you a free sticker [yes, they are free anyway – jokes]).  Todd Rogers (Teaessare Design) once again made our vision a reality.  He is the best and if you need some design work we definitely recommend him.

All right, the breakdown from left to right (furthest left being #1 and furthest right being #6). 1. Josh loves Integrity – this is a rune often used by Dwid (Integrity).  That’s about as simple as that.  2. File sharing kills music symbol.  This symbol is a take on the home-taping is killing music of the ’80s.  It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, actually.  It’s a ridiculous notion to take at face value, but the imagery speaks to our business just the same.  We don’t sell files.  3. This is the Om symbol.  Music is meditative.  Mantra, take me home I trust you (Shelter lyrics).  4.  You might and maybe should recognize this owl from our fliers and previous shirt design (double thanks to Todd Rogers for this).  5.  I (Rick) love KLF – this is a two dimensional take on the three dimensional Justified Ancients of Mu Mu symbol.  6. This is a record.  You know that.  We sell ’em.  We love ’em.

Of course, you can just take these at face value too. Make up a story of your own.  We don’t mind.  #1 is representative of Robert Johnson and the crossroads and the very roots of rock and roll.  #2 is a robot with a patch over it’s left eye.  #3 is the ancient rune for happiness.  #4 is the image of the owl from the original Clash of the Titans movie.  #5 is King Tut’s original design for his final resting place – he actually designed the first boom box centuries before they existed (nothing new for them crazy Egyptians – also the reason we used the Egyptian cotton shirts). #6 is still a CD that looks a lot like a record.  We sell ’em.  We love ’em.

Now you try.
