Community Rummage Sale @ GREEN HOUSE Today!

According to a reliable tweet from a GREEN HOUSE resident organizer:

"Rummage sale today! Bring yo' stuff and let's get rid of it! 11-3 at #GreenHouse. Can't miss us - house is green. #yardsale #austin #fb"

You can't and shouldn't miss buying, swapping and selling items at GREEN HOUSE, the future of Austin shopping - a store featuring unique upcycled clothing, accessories and gifts by local d-i-y designers and artists, a mini art gallery - and a community space.

Last week, they hosted a cool music pre-opening on the last day of SXSW and first day of spring with Anti-Gravity, and will have their grand opening in about a week!

SUX BY SUXWEST: The Biggest Noise Fest in Austin

SXSW and Kanye West apparently broke Tumblr. Looks like Twitter is OK though...

Seriously, diy revolution has apparently returned for the occasional d-i-y/underground/indie event post, and this is a very worthy post. To rip off my own words about SUX BY SUXWEST from Radio Casbah:

"...don't let the name fool you. The organizers of the gargantuan noise fest aren't haters - they are simply indulging in nihilistic satire - a trait of an experimental form of music that rebels against the status quo of comfortable, soothing sounds. (Maybe we should get agitated by the sum of the same sounds replayed every year.) Noise fest organizer Johnathan Cash, the young masked man of Breakdancing Ronald Reagan, is serious about bringing the noise, curating a noise showcase featuring longtime artists of noise The Haters, and leather bound harsh noise outfit Black Leather Jesus."

The Haters, masked defenders of noise, will be appearing @ SUX BY SUXWEST.

SUX BY SUXWEST is a free, all ages welcome event at House of Commons Co-op, 2610 Rio Grande. Beer will be served while it lasts. There's a complete lineup on the official event page on Facebook. Doors open at 10:00am, and the experimental cacophony commences at 12:00pm.
