Last Call for the Old Super Happy!

Yes, tonight, Thurs., January 10th, is officially the last-ever show at the 2610 Ashland St. home of Super Happy Fun Land before they pack it all up (and believe me, there’s a lot to pack) and move the whole mess over to 3801 Polk Street — they’re sliding languidly southwest-ward from the Heights and over into what I think qualifies as the East End. So get on out tonight & celebrate the temporary death and glorious pending rebirth of SHFL with P.D. Wilder, Translations, the excellently strange Thomas Ayresol, Malissa, & Swirve, eh?

While you’re there, by the by, talk to one of the SHFL folks & offer to help out with the move — they need as many volunteers as they can get, and will be handing out free Super Happy shirts to those who give selflessly so that others may move. Oh, and some lucky volunteer(s) will get a coupon for a “FREE OOAK CUSTOM SOCK CREATURE.” And no, I have no idea what an “OOAK CUSTOM SOCK CREATURE” is, beyond that it’s, well, presumably made from a sock and is a creature of some sort. If you can’t make it out this evening, of course, you can always call/email the SHFL crew and tell ’em you’d like to lend a hand: 713-880-2100‘s the number, and their email’s “info” at “superhappyfunland dot com”.

Lastly, after the noise from the amps has all died out & the moving process truly gets underway, SHFL will be holding an everything-must-go Rummage Sale this Saturday, January 12th, from 9AM to 5PM — they’re apparently trying to seriously downsize, and if you’ve ever been to the place, you’ll get how monumental a task that is. Head on over to Ashland & see what they’ve got…
