The Thousands Shop
For a number of years now, we've been telling you what we like via the internet. We tell, you read, and there's ever a deep dark cyber void in between you and us and a genuine conversation. But not for much longer. The Thousands Shop is taking the online offline, finally providing us with a hard copy space for real time conversation, collaboration and showcasing some of our favourite things in a selective retail environment (with the soon-to-be website offering a selection for online sale).

Nine on Seven Gallery, Rooftop, 252 Swanston St, Melbourne
When:
Thurs Nov 19, 5-7pm

Description:
Nothing gives rise to murderous rage more than the alleged art of printmaking. Sculpture, printmaking's even-more-fucked-up cousin, sickens the world to its collective stomach, true. But it is printmaking that brings the bloodied bowie knife down over and over and over again. In a queer and fiendish twist of fate, Lauren Rigbye will be displaying her evil silkscreen prints and drawings at Curtin House's Nine on Seven Gallery tonight, in a solo show informed by "hangovers, banality, and procrastination" entitled ‘Maths and Booze'.

Rooftop Cinema Season 09/10
The first warm winds of summer seem to blow a bunch of weirdos into the city and what's worse is that it blows them up to all the rooftop bars that Melbourne now has to offer. I mean, don't these people live in basements?
This observation is not meant to offend but simply serve as a warning that from November 17 to March 27 Rooftop Cinema is the only safe rooftop experience that the CBD has to offer.
The Tower of Babble On
It is not easy making a comic. Here, Chris Ware gave us some advice in that regard. "RUIN: Your Life. DRAW: Cartoons! And doom yourself to: decades of grinding isolation, solipsism, and utter social disregard." I know one person who won't be talking at Semi Permanent. Anyway, brushing aside Ware's words like so many emos at a pep rally, Jeremy Ley and Abe de Bruyn have made a comic.
NowNow invites you to the Box Office Book Stall
In high school I told the careers counsellor that I wanted to become a physiotherapist and I studied biology, chemistry and maths with a language thrown in to boost my ENTER score. If he could see me now: trying to import a product for which there is practically no market. Sourcing artist books, zines, journals and magazines while wrestling wildly with Excel spreadsheets and exchange rates.
