Sun, Aug 2 8pm-midnight Salvage Vanguard Theater 2803 Manor

The Eclectro Garage Sale is a collaboration between experimental music nonprofit Church of the Friendly Ghost and radical thriftstore Treasure City.
Creative electronic sound artists will perform on the Salvage Vanguard's stage while a garage sale of Treasure City's hippest 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, and the Spaceinvader Orchestra wires together old record players and mixes broken records.

Chicken Show and Contest:
Bring your favorite chicken down for the day to win great prizes and spread the word about chicken keeping in Austin. We'll have a variety of catagories for the chickens to win in - most beautiful, most unusual, biggest fattest hen (ie heaviest), looks most like it's owner, etc. A ton of great gift certificates and goods have have been donated by local businesses for prizes. We'll also have folks on hand to give out info about the how's and why's of chicken keeping.
TO ENTER:
pre-register your chicken by emailing your name and contact info to cory@treasurecitythrift.org. Bring your chickens down in whatever carrying container they will be most comfortable and most viewable with, we won't be moving them from it. We will provide water (bring whatever they'd like to drink out of) and they'll be shaded by a canopy and kept away from street traffic noise. If you can think of anything else we can do to keep your chickens comfy and happy, please let us know!
