come with me (or a map of indie north america).
hello folks,
in response to a growing number of requests for touring information and resources, i have started a streamlined project for sharing the network of indie shops, boutiques and galleries i have encountered in my years of touring - the indie map of north america!
this is by no means a comprehensive list of every boutique and gallery out there. instead, it is something of and organically-curated group of places that has mostly sprung from my own experiences. although there are a few places there that i have never visited (and i mean a very few), this map can also serve as a loose vouch from your friend, becky.
hopefully, this will tide y'all over into the full touring resource zine is done at the end of the year.
of course, i strongly welcome your suggestions. feel free to leave tips about your favourite indie haunts in the comments section here. i have painfully few in brooklyn and new york, for instance. and i know the places are out there.
and if you run a space that should be on there, go add yourself to google places. you have to be the business owner to do that, and i get distressed every time i go to look up a favourite shop or space and can not find it. i want to tell people about you!
such an amazing resource. thank you so so much for taking the time to do this.....
ReplyDeletei love this!
ReplyDeletethanks, guys! and don't think for a moment that this is not partly self-serving. having a visual, updatable map to help plan my travels is long overdue. plus it makes me happy to see just how big this indie network of ours is.
