New Toys, More Books + Lolo's Bday Tonight!!

Dear Friends,

We've got some cool new arrivals at the shop!! Check out the amazing new Friends With You "WISH COME TRUE" toys!! Each one is an adorable plastic weeble-wobble type toy with bells inside, created in true FWY style. These are flying off shelves around the world but we've got 'em at Sweat. Also, check out most of Bob Dylan's back catalogue lovingly reissued on high-quality vinyl!!

We're happy to announce that Sweat Records has recently doubled it's book section!! We've been complimented on our unique selection of hard-to-find/interesting/obscure music, art, fiction and pop culture titles so now we're bringing you even more literary and visual goodness.

Speaking of books, the SWEAT BOOKS Book Club meets Wednesday, June 25th at 8pm and we'll be discussing "Snuff" - the new book by Chuck Palahniuk. It's out now and a pretty swift read so grab a copy and turn those pages!! The SBBC has a Facebook group and you can join it by clicking here.

Tonight at Fridays at The Vagabond, it's my birthday as well as our good friend Nicole Chipi's birthday so we're having a big ol' GEMINI GET-DOWN!! There will be sno-cones, guest DJs Hottpants and Carmine P. Filthy (Even Further, NYC) along with our awesome residents, veejay Chris V doing "Music Video Request" on the back patio, and of course... CUPCAKES. It's FREE before midnight so come party with us tonight!!

Tomorrow evening at the shop, we welcome back the crew of PURE IMAGINATION for another awesome in-store!! In case you still haven't heard, Pure Imagination is Matt Gajewski's series of intriguing original short stories read over live local music by Nick Kruge and others - highly recommended for fans of This American Life. In addition, Raffa (hostess of Can You Rock A Little Softer?) will be selling her famous vegan chili so come out for homemade dinner and some unique live entertainment!! Everything starts at 9pm.

FYI: RAG*TRADE's summer hours are 1PM TO 7PM, WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY and we've got new stuff from FACTION, SO-ME and more so come by and grab some new rags!!

Coming soon, new Science Club meeting announcement, Kraftwerks 4, and other summer surprises...
