Ransack the Universe Blog!

Attend our Book Swap, or the Earth will be very angry.  The Icelandic volcano “Engelberthumperdinksdottir” is just a tiny glimpse of what is in store if we do not make a sufficient sacrifice.

In the spirit of recycling, through the miracle of cut/paste technology, here is the text from an earlier blog post:

For 4 days, in honour of the Earth, Ransack the Universe is hosting a Book Swap. On the other 361 days of the year, the Earth can carry on falling apart for all we care.

Here’s how it works: you bring one or more books to drop off. You snoop around and take away with you one or more books. For free. That’s it. Maybe there will be CD’s etc. as well, maybe not.

What a terrific time to visit Ransack if you haven’t yet.

The countdown is on — this Saturday (April 10th, 12-5pm) we take our show on the road to the heart of Where It’s At.  That’s right, it’s another Indie Craft Fair, this time a joint effort with The Argyle Acorn and held at The Garrison, 1197 Dundas West, a little west of Ossington.

There will be a smorgasbord of ingenious and lovely objets de craft, including t-shirts, cards, vintage, buttons, ties, bath stuff, zines, earrings, photography, hair clips, jewelry made from piano ivory!!!, stuffed critters, turned wood mushrooms, and loads and loads more.  All with the added satisfaction of meeting the artist.  And if somehow that’s not enough, it’s in a bar — you can probably get BOOZE, you lushes.  If we were you, we’d ring up a pal and toddle on over.

Here’s an event page over on ze Facebook.

And here’s the official poster:
