Highland Park Coop!
July 31st, 2009 by MatthewOur cool friends are starting a cool thing! Check this out! From their about:
In collaboration with the community of Northeast Los Angeles we aim to create a space to bring people together. We think a cooperative is a place where people not only have access to local affordable healthy food, but also share stories over coffee, learn about local produce, attend monthly community cooking classes and suppers, and enjoy the sense that direct productive communication and creation are possibilities. Here in Highland Park we hope to create this atmosphere. We are starting off as a buyers co-operative, with future plans of becoming a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) drop off site, as well as working with local farmers to purchase eggs, dairy, honey, etc. Eventuallly we would like to develop into a small-scale consumer owned and operated food co-op.
Please, join me in welcoming our new blog and cool new internet homies, Highland Park Coop!
Introducing: Existential Media Press and Ocean Barber!
July 16th, 2009 by AlishaOcean Barber, the first book from Existential Media Press, is on sale now!
She’s a beaut. And if that’s not enough, here are two more reasons to order:
1. You guys, books are little planets, and this one looks good. It feels good to hold. I want this planet to suck you gently into orbit, then ground you in its unfamiliar gravity. I left plenty of space between the words. So stop worrying about it and order.
2. It’s an investment. 100% of your money will go toward funding EMP’s next book. This is the first step in a venture, and your support is beyond important. We want to continue bringing you high-quality books from writers and artists, populating the EM galaxy with treadable planets. Also, I just made up that word, so that’s gotta be worth something.
Issue 2 of The Family Press released!
July 13th, 2009 by MatthewOur good friends Prescott Family have finally released the second issue of their zine The Family Press.
“For Issue 2, we decided to stretch our collaborators with an explicit theme. I refuse to be modest, our theme, TV, was an inspired idea. Even our most academic collaborators have a tender spot in their hearts for TV. And, although each work does not unambiguously reference TV, it is safe to say that none of these could be produced if TV did not exist. With that in mind, I would like to formally invite you to consume Issue 2.”
