Calling all mix-tape enthusiasts...

Next Saturday, local 'zine Lumpen will be celebrating the release of their latest issue with a party at buddY gallery featuring art installations, a video program, live music, cookies, holiday spirits (PBR) and the "winter potlatch mixtape gift exchange." According to the Lumpen website, all you have to do is, Make a mix cd or tape and wrap it up. Bring it over and exchange it for one made by a fellow human being. If you leave a gift then you can take a gift.(but we'll prolly have some extras..) The party is a fundraiser to pay for the current issue of Lumpen. The hard working staff has "leveraged their Swiss chalet's mortgage to get this one out" and needs to raise some ca$h in order to break even. So get crackin' on your mixtape this weekend and come on out next Saturday to experience some great art and music while supporting local underground media. Oh yeah, it's also going to be a "ski lodge" themed party, so be sure to wear your favorite leg warmers, ski goggles, mittens and scarves.
