The aPOPcalypse is coming September 18th!
OK, so the world isn't actually going to end, sorry to scare you, but now that we've got your attention, check this out! The Head Shop and Brunch! Magazine are getting together for another show, this time at the ARTery in sometimes sunny Costa Mesa, CA, and we've got one hell of a damn show for you.
Featuring the work of Dennis Larkins, Shawn Sandfer, Christie Yuri-Noh, Virginia Valdez, Zack Bowen, Andy Anderson, Brian Lucett and Jenna McHale this show will show you a thing or two about survival.
As you're all aware, the apocalypse is fast approaching. Whether you believe what the Mayans said or not, we all need to be prepared - and what better way to get prepared than by joining The Head Shop, the freaks from Brunch! Magazine, and a slew of local artists for the opening night of aPOPcalypse - apocalyptic art, the smooth musical stylings of DJs Malcolmesque, DJ Lando Calrissian and DJ Jesse Bobby, plus wine and beer (while supplies last), and enough snack foods to survive for several hours after any apocalyptic fate.
The apocalypse won't really knock us not hopefully, the show will be up for two full weeks starting opening night, Saturday, September 18th and extending to October 3rd.
So remember friends, don't worry about the end of the world, you've got the aPOPcalypse to look forward to!

Come on Down!
We are so excited to release our new design series: The Bobs, featuring Bob Dylan, Bob Marley and Bob Barker. We would love to celebrate all our hard work with our friends and fans. Over the past couple of months we've been working with two of our favorite people Brian and Andy from Brunch! Magazine. We believe it was fate, that night we met these two strapping young men at one of our art/craft show events at Hibbleton. Ever since then it's been meeting after meeting, beer after beer of hatching plans for ways to collaborate on our little side projects:
The Head Shop and Brunch! Magazine.
The Head Shop and Brunch! Magazine.
I contributed a few illustrations to the upcoming issue of Brunch! in return for an inside cover advertisement. This ad is our first, and very special one because Shawn and I worked on the ad together. He worked it out with his Photoshop skills and also provided the classic photo shown below. We would like to thank Shawn's Granny Nanny for letting us use her photo. Thanks Grace!
Don't miss this event. We will be giving away magazines, tees and custom made logo pint glasses throughout the event. Be the first to see our new diggs and Brunch!'s best issue to date.
Live music, booze, and art.
Plus The Head Shop's induction into the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce! Be sure to show up at 8:30 to be at our ribbon
cutting ceremony.

Runnin' With The Ponies at Pink Parlour
On Sunday March 14th, we packed up and headed to Santa Anita Racetrack to attend our very first Pink Parlour Festival. Beautiful mountains and fresh air surrounded the track. Hot pink pampadours, fish net stockings and tattoos were plentiful. It was definitely one of the biggest shows we've been involved with and it brought in a friendly, eclectic crowd.
We met a lot of cool vendors as well, here is a list of our favorites of the day:

The Head Shop Goes Pink!
Ladies and gents! Save the date: Sunday, March 14th, for The Pink Parlour Festival - a one-of-a-kind event where crafty women of the world unite. I have to admit I'm feeling a little Rosie the Riveter-ish, with this event being specifically for women. I know what you're thinking, there's going to be a high demand for these:
I was thinking that too. Gentlemen, don't let this run you off, the festival has much more to offer, including live music, djs, food and drinks and tons of beautiful, free-thinking girlies - it's your typical day at the racetrack. We hope you'll come by our booth and say hello.

Home Sweet Fullerton #3: Matador Cantina
Just about every Tuesday you will find me at Matador Cantina. They offer $1.25 street tacos and $2 Coronas, plus live music! I'll have to admit my first visit was not a satisfying one for a vegan. All of my friends ordered their tacos and I ordered a veggie taco, only to find the veggies were onions and bellpeppers only. Luckily for me, the management at Matador is top class. The manager stopped by our table to see how our meal was. I spoke up about the need for vegan tacos on the menu. And much to my surprise the next week there were vegan tacos on the menu; soy taco meat, peppers, salsa atop two corn tortillas. Yum. I've been going back ever since. Not only am I able to order vegan tacos, but I can sub out meat on nachos, the Matador taco and other dishes. In addition to the delicious food, Matador offers a laid back ambiance, great for meeting up with friends after work. The bar is chock full of specialty spirits and beers that will make your mouth water. Stop by Matador any day of the week for great food, drinks and music. And remember to speak up for what you want and I'm sure the managers will do the best to serve your needs.
They are on twitter, too. Follow @matadorlounge

Home Sweet Fullerton #2: An Ode to Downtown Fully
I live, work and play in Fullerton. I've attended both Fullerton College and Cal State Fullerton, where I earned my bachelors degree. I love taking walks downtown with my boyfriend and grabbing a pint or two at our favorite pub. Most of all I love the people and the vibe. Harbor Boulevard is scattered with vintage shops, restaurants and bars. It's always a good day for a bike ride, zig zagging between brick buildings, running into friends and neighbors. When it's warm and in season, on a Thursday night I stop by the Farmer's Market on Wilshire. The street is blocked off and filled with the scent of grilled onions, kettle korn and fresh herbs. Dogs and little babies scurry around excitedly looking all there is to see. All these things make Fullerton Home Sweet Fullerton. As a tribute to my town, I created a series of Fullerton Head Gear that is available at The Head Shop. Enjoy! See you around.

Home Sweet Fullerton #1: Hibbleton
This week is the debut of Home Sweet Fullerton -- a monthly blog post of my favorite people, places and things in Fullerton.
Hibbleton Art Gallery strays away from the norm by opening its doors for intimate showings of art in all platforms. Just recently I attended a poetry reading, Open Heart Perjury, hosted my dear friend: poet Michael Roberts of thehopemeat.com He so kindly wore The Head Shop's Oh Yoko Tee while reciting poetry and introducing artists. A very much appreciated favor in return for me purchasing a copy of his book, No More Poems About The Moon (available @ WriteBloody.com). Very kind indeed, since I was short $6. Thanks Michael! In the end it was a good swap between two starving artists.
Among the talent, was a rough and ready little punk rawk band, The Dirty Bills. The Bills also call Fullerton their hometown. For all these reasons I make it a point to stop by and check out the newest exhibition at Hibbleton--always something fresh and inspiring. When Hibbleton isn't hosting an event, it's open Thursday through Sunday, 1p-6p. Books, clothing and art are for sale.
Current exhibition: RUGS! RUGS! RUGS! Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo presents a selection of 12 rugs with imagery from his 'Postcard Diaries' image bank
Join us @ Hibbleton Holiday Handmade Sale (organized by MelissaLoschy of Handmade Brigade of OC) on Saturday, December 19th, 4p-8p. The Head Shop is super excited to have been invited to an event in our town! See you there.

Our Day with The Handmade Brigade
November 1st was a sunny and bloody hot day. As newbies to the crafting fair scene, we didn't bring an umbrella. Thanks to a sweetie named Bev, we were able to keep cool by using a table cloth as a tarp over our booth. Thank goodness for her. Throughout the day we met lots and lots of cool people, including the gals from Handmade Brigade. Thank you Jackie, Melissa, Nina and Brook (and Gus) for having us at your event, we were glad to have this one
be our first!
be our first!
We arrived early, so to kill time we hung out in the parking lot.
9:30 a.m. It's me! setting up and adding last minute
touches to the booth.
Our booth signage, DIY style: cardboard, homemade stencil
and spray paint.
One of our favorite customers modeling The Head Shop's newest addition to the Design Series 2 collection (Vincent van Gogh apron, available soon).
The Lemonhead contest was a success, the family above carefully inspects the jar and takes a guess.
Thanks for coming by, it was so nice to see you! Come visit us at CoLab's Art & Craft Market on Sunday, December 13th from 1-8p. For more info visit Gallery Nucleus

29!
Twenty Nine Palms Highway, a long road lined with mom and pop spots, art galleries, book stores, sale upon yard sale, is thee place to find one-of-a-kind gems. Mt. Fuji General Store, owned by artist Chantale Doyle was among my favorite places to visit. The quaint shop sells everything from salt shakers to comic books. Mt. Fuji houses the work of well knowns such as John Porcellino, while also welcoming locals to showcase their talent. My find: a heather gray tunic, screenprinted with hot pink organic twisting clouds, accented with black and white striped pockets. Surrounding Mt. Fuji you can find a sweet place to grab a cup of coffee at TeaCakes Bakery or choose from several vintage thrift shops to find that special something you've been looking for. I highly recommend taking the drive to desert and enjoying the scenery, art and culture that a small town has to offer.
