Find unique and memorable gifts and support local indie crafters, DIY-types, and music labels at two upcoming events on the hill.
Saturday Dec 6th: Hollow Earth Radio’s Local Label Record Show
3:00 – 8:00 at Healthy Times Fun Club, free.
Crafts and ‘zines will be featured along with 20+ local record labels in this local-music-oriented DIY event. (Yes, Sub Pop will be there, but so will other worthy local labels worth checking out.) This first annual show is organized by internet-only local radio station Hollow Earth Radio and will be held at Healthy Times Fun Club, in the Pike/Pine neighborhood. I’m particularly looking forward to checking out the ‘zines and picking up some affordable, ultra-indie, and ultra-unique gifts.
Five bands will be performing during the sale. The evening continues with a four-band lineup starting at 8:00; a $5 donation is requested for the evening performances. Email healthytimesfunclub at gmail dot com for exact address, or in cases of super last minute address requests call Rebecca at (206) 422-5387.
Off the hill, check out these additional indie craft shows also happening this upcoming weekend:
Sunday, December 21st: I Heart Rummage
12:00 – 4:00 at Chop Suey, free
The I Heart Rummage sale is for procrastinators and folks who regret not buying that special something from a local crafter earlier in the month. IHR is an intermittently monthly event held at Chop Suey in the Pike/Pine neighborhood. All items are orginal and handmade (no imports) and jewelry is limited to no more than six of the 35 spots. At previous IHR events I’ve bought awesome hand-knitted wrist warmers and unique jewelry and cuffs. Prices tend toward the reasonable end of the spectrum.
No published address for the Healthy Times Fun Club?
The HTFC puts on all-ages music shows in a DIY fashion so they don’t freely publish the address and thus avoid too much attention. You’ll need to email or call HTFC for the location. Here’s a hint: it’s near the Wildrose intersection on Pike. (Or, if I know you, I’ll tell you. :P )
OK, between your hint and knowing you, I think I’ll figure it out :-)
