LIBRARY AT OOGA BOOGA!++++++++++++
We're excited to announce an exhibition of Swiss
art publisher Nieves at Ooga Booga this month! Inside our shop we will
be showing all of their books and zines,
and in our temporary annex across the hall, we have
a zine reading room where you can check out rare and out of print titles
by many Nieves-related artists. These books are all from the publisher's
personal archives in Zurich, and will be on view until April 3rd. And
signings by L.A. Nieves artists in the shop every Thursday. Please come!
We are having the opening reception this Thursday March 6th, 7-10pm in
the Ooga Booga courtyard, with the release of two new zines and a signing
by Geoff McFetridge. Music by Silver Daggers (plus special guest) and
DJ Brendan Fowler. Free, everyone welcome!!

++++++++++++++WINTER
WRAP UP!+++++++++++++++++
Sorry for the recently meager updates! This past winter has kept
us busy and haggard...but in a good way. Anyhow here's a little roundup
of all the events we had over the holidays up until now...!
++++++++++++++DADDY
3 Release!+++++++++++++++++
In November we had a launch party for issue #3 of Javier Peres'
Daddy magazine, w/ All Neon Like & DJ Will Stangeland...









+++++++++++++++NDP 4 Reception!+++++++++++++++++
A week later, we had a launch reception for North Drive Press #4!
Congrats to Matt Keegan and Sara Greenberger-Rafferty for another great
box of treats!


+++++++++++++Art
Miami Water Tent!++++++++++++++++
Soon afterward, we went to Miami to participate in the publications
tent of the NADA art fair! It was another new experience for us, and it
was awesome to be sharing the space with some of our fave publications
from around the world. (Check out the pic in front of Versace's old mansion!!)








...art!
++++++++++Swedish Pom ANP Vigoda Party!!++++++++++++
Upon returning from Miami we had a holiday party to celebrate many
things—for instance our Jesse Spears pom pom window, the launch
of ANP Quarterly issue 9, and Abe Vigoda live...all with Swedish snacks
made by our intern Ola (aka Salty and the Swede catering)! The spiced
glogg was deliche—thanks Ola!











++++++++++++++Art
LA Santa Monica!++++++++++++++++
After surviving the floods of Miami, we felt like old hands at
this art fair biz and took on our next one...Art LA! It was super fun
to have a different space within our own city and met alot of cool lokes!
Thanks Tim Fleming!
