Ah, the sweet smack of gentrification strikes again -- this time targetting the ever-quirky and loveable Super Happy Fun Land. Their current building (2610 Ashland St.) has been sold in order to make room for more condominiums, which some apparently delusional real estate-type creature has decided our fair city is lacking.
Super Happy Fun Land will be moving on out by the end of January 2008 to locations currently unknown. Have an idea for a new space, want to help them move or hell - maybe give them $20,000? Let the Super Happies know at their upcoming Veggie Thanksgiving Potluck on Thursday, November 22nd.
We really, really, really hope they find another space pronto as we'll miss their Sunday craft workshops, silly-hippie art and Pukuleles of Doom with reckless abandon.

Missed Connections: Gefilte Fish...and "Chain Connections"


SUUUUUUUCK! While I'm sure they'll find another place to house their craziness, nothing will replace the bizarre charm of the original. R.I.P. SHFL.
The Plastic Farm Animals are playing there tonight!!
