Dandyhorse Magazine & Video Launch Party 14/09/12

... Is happening right across the street from NOOK, at Handlebar!

You may lament the end of summer — but here at dandyhorse we love the idea of biking back-to-school on a NEW BOBBIN BIKE! That’s right, we’re raffling off a beautiful Bobbin bike, courtesy of Curbside cycle at our party at Handlebar on Friday, September 14.

The event is free and will feature a screening of the dandyhorse/Steamwhistle film by Hiep Vu “Super Spin” featuring former dandyhorse editor, Colleen Kirley and LIVE MUSIC by Attagirl.

Details:

What: dandyhorse magazine and video launch party. We will screen the video Super Spin and enjoy live music by Attagirl.

When: Starts at 8 p.m. on Friday, September 14

Where: Handlebar – 159 Augusta in Kensington Market (just north of Dundas on the east side.) *Please* do not lock your bike in front of neighbouring stores/doors. There’s a fence you can lock to all around the park, just up the street and two bike corrals even further up at Nassau.

Raffle tickets only $5 each! Draw is at 11 p.m.

Bobbin bike is courtesy of Curbside Cycle.

Your prize bike will be set up with amazing BEACON lights.

Remember: Park your bikes in piles with your pals and walk it or lock it if you’ve had to much to drink.

Uxbridge Studio Tour 2012!

Illustrator Tracy Walker is participating in the Uxbridge Studio Tour again this year. This is a great opportunity to see and buy some affordable art and take in the countryside...

I try to make a tradition of going, and one of my favourite spots is artist Victor Tinkl's property, which you may remember from an archived blog post - here's a peek of one of the photos below.

Sketchbook season

Have you been drawing in your sketchbook lately, exercising the precious gift of unrestrained self-expression? If the answer is no but you'd like the answer to be yes, why not throw caution to the wind and sign up for the upcoming (and inevitably rip-roaring) Subconscious Sketchbook class at Nook? We have done the class twice now, and it just gets better and better: messes are made, donuts are eaten, pages are covered and recovered, and fears are transmuted into creative fuel. 

The four-part class starts two weeks from today on September 13th and goes until October 4th. Click here for more info!
