The General Store is the shit for a lot of reasons, the least of which being that Tyson has encouraged us and helped us push Get Wacky to the limits, lets us use the space, cleans up after you pigs, dispenses Sharpie tattoos, and in general (he he he) helps take things to the next level.
Thank you Tyson.
Le General Store is also the shit because it has art shows by awesome artists from all over and supports artists from Milwaukee as well by selling their clothing, crafts, cds, cassettes, zines, and all other manners of art.
The shows in the gallery are from all over:painter Nick Lowe (not Peace, Love, and Understanding Nick Lowe), phots by Chris Smith, and Laura Owens who was, I believe, the first show at the General Store. (Laura Owens recently had a huge solo show @ the Milwaukee Art Museum and has a couple pieces on exhibit and in their permanent collection).
Go to the General Store: 824 E. Locust.
and in cyberspace at http://www.generalstore1.com/index.html
The G is open only on weekends so plan accordingly.
Go and check out all the cool stuff, buy some of it, support Milwaukee, support interesting and independent artists and artwork, and support Get Wacky.
As is often the case with mud wrestling, everyone wins.
and THANK YOU to everyone that rocked out GW the IV. Photos are on the way.
