For those people who didn't get a chance to see the "Happy Endings" show at Nine Lives over the weekend, we have decided to open up the gallery tomorrow (wednesday) and thursday from 11am - 3pm both days.
In the middle the madness of our event last week, we where asked to guest edit the fourthousand weekly newsletter (read here).
Please subscribe to fourthouand.com.
FourThousand is a weekly snapshot of Brisbane's subculture - a Brisbane guide to film, music, design, books, art, goods and links for people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find.
It's their 100th issue birthday party at Nine Lives this Friday night!
Thanks to all who came to our art/music event on Thursday night!
It was a great success.
All the boards (including Joel Morris's pictured above) are now hanging in-store, so come in and check them out.

Every since we carried it in 2002 Stolen Sharpie Revolution has been the ultimate guidebook to all things zine related. This little red book is stuffed with information about zines. Things you may know, stuff you don’t know and even stuff you didn’t know you knew for the beginner to the experienced zinester. Stolen Sharpie Revolution consists of how-to guides on a variety of topics from layout to book binding to paper making, resources online and off, where to find zines, information about zine libraries, how and where to get your zine distributed, reviewed and more!
For 2009 Stolen Sharpie Revolution has been completely rewritten and expanded to 144 pages with new a layout and includes the previous information, updated resource listings for stores, distros, zine events and zine libraries. It will also contain all new sections on zines in academics and education, a guide to the US postal system, what to do at a zinefest, how to start a zine fest, lots of internet resources, and more!
This book has everything you need to get started creating your own zine or to figure out what to do with the zine you already made. Stolen Sharpie Revolution 2 can serve both as an introduction into the wide world of zine culture, and the next step to being a part of it.

Our boy and "I USED SKATE ONCE"5 artist has a show on this week!
Mel Baxter's great concept, "The Versus Show", is a culmination of collaboration and mutual admiration between emerging photographer Beth Willis and skater/artist Jay Musk. They will be showcasing their work together for the first time- which will consist of Beth’s raw and ambient observational pieces plus her main work of documenting Jay Musk as a skater, versus Jay’s stencilled decks and painted pieces.

"Often when reading a typical article or interview we are left unmoved, unenlightened and uninspired. Formulaic and sterile conversations prevent responses or expression from going beyond surface level. Wading through the mundane to find the truly good stuff in life can be a struggle, but it is far worse to not even bother trying. A ‘selector’ is one that singles out something in particular. In the case of this bi-annual publication, we focus on the idea of truth with the aim of portraying the honesty and sincerity of both the individuals and places we choose to examine. We are coming together to celebrate those who have gone above and beyond what’s expected – individuals who have dedicated their lives to something great. Selector’s objective is to present open dialogues with substance, to take a momentary break from busy lives to share some of the sights and sounds encountered by those pursuing the uncommon." -SELECTOR magazine website (LINK HERE)
