-------The Eclectro Garage Sale Show------
Sun, Aug 2
8pm-midnight
Salvage Vanguard Theater 2803 Manor Rd, Austin

The Eclectro Garage Sale is a collaboration between experimental music nonprofit Church of the Friendly Ghost and radical thrift store Treasure City.
Creative electronic sound artists will perform on the Salvage Vanguard's stage while a garage sale of Treasure City's funnest stuff happens in the gallery.
Each of the acts use recycled and often unwanted materials in their music:
Jano (thing) Selector mixes old audiotapes into poetic ambient soundscapes.
The Furby Youth Choir turns furry electronic toys into circuit bent crooners.
Eric Archer creates sound from light as it passes through old cameras.
Spaceinvader Orchestra wires together old record players and mixes broken records.

-------Back to School Sale-----
For the first week in August, we’ve brought out lots of extra back to school items: Binders and school supplies all under $2, Backpacks and school bags all under $5, kid’s clothes$1-2…while they last!

-------Building News--------
We’re still working on buying a building (read more about that at http://www.treasurecitythrift.org/move), but have extended our lease at our current location through January, so we’ll be there that long at least…if you know of a great building we should look at, or want to throw a fundraiser for our building fund, please contact cory@treasurecitythrift.org.
