Stocking Stuffer 2 + Xmas Goodies!!

Dear Friends,

Art Basel was awesome but thank goodness it's over! Pink Candy Disko was great and GLASS CANDY were especially fantastic! We'll definitely be having them back down in the future.

Sweat is in full swing, open NOON TO MIDNIGHT EVERY DAY making espresso and selling records. Check our myspace for some pics!! Christmas is a week away - instead of fighting the crowded malls, come by Sweat for your holiday gift shopping!! We have a huge and truly unique selection of gifts for your culturally-savvy loved ones - books, movies, toys, boxed sets, music and more.

On that note, this week we're super pleased to announce the return of a section in the Sweat email that went away for a while - NEW RELEASES!! Anyone who's been by the store has seen how our inventory has greatly expanded. Scroll down to see a huge (but still only partial!!) list of the new goodies we've gotten in stock.

Onward!! This Friday night we're having a little get-together at the store - the 2nd Annual Sweat Stocking Stuffer!! We'll have hot chocolate and homemade baked goods, and next door you can catch live performances by RAFFA AND RAINER, JESSE JACKSON and more!! We're also collecting art supplies for an art program launching next year at an orphanage in Colombia so please bring an new or gently-used creative materials to donate. It's going to be good times with nice people, guaranteed.

Then next Friday the 28th we're hosting 2007's PLUG MIAMI!! The PLUG event we did last year was fantastic so you won't want to miss this... especially because it's also going to be beloved MIA/NYC electro-booty-pop combo AVENUE D's last show ever!! Tickets available right now at Sweat for $10 or at www.studioamiami.com so get 'em while they're hot.

Cheers,
Lolo, Jsin + the Sweat crew
