Too bad I am in Chicago. Congratulations on your launch!
August 5th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Ooh, I gots a big job to finish, it’d be cool to come down for this. Maybe if I can’t make it, I’ll have my OWN party in SF… alone… in a corner with a box of Tijuana wine, a festive straw, and a lint roller.
I hope Mer’s bringin more than her lemonade? Music/theremin, maybe?
August 5th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Aww, Goo. Wish you could make it.
(And yes, in addition to some slapdash laptop dj-ing, I am gathering courage/instrumental music for a theremin set. Just don’t hold me to it.)
August 5th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
This looks like it will be amazing. I wish Jason and I could be there.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Damn. This is another reason I need to get my hands on a teleporter. It’s a long way to California.
Congratulations to all of ya on combining creativity, talent and grit to bring a fine publication kicking and screaming into existence. Enjoy the party.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I so want to go to this!!!
August 5th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
With such a wonderful collection of misfits who would want to miss this? Curious who from the short list of regular comment junkies will attend. Feels as though we should have a secret handshake or special symbol to recognize one another :P
“…I am gathering courage/instrumental music for a theremin set. Just don’t hold me to it…”
Can we just kindly threaten you then? How about poke you with a rag on a stick until you play? Maybe tempt you with money only valid in 3rd world nations? How about we smile and go “Please!” like little children before they get angry and break stuff?
Whatever the case I look forward to the lemonade.
Scar as the bartender? That should prove wonderfully interesting.
August 5th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
on my birthday! DAMN! I wish i have superpowers. To teleport/fly/transport my clone there for the launch.
Have fun with the winged monkeys!
August 5th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Hurrah! Congratulations, how exciting!
I think I’ll hitchhike to California.
Surely I’ll make it just in time!
August 5th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
I second the call for an SF event. What did LA do to deserve all the fun?
But do enjoy your shindig, you’ve earned it.
August 5th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Damnit all!!! I’m missing it by less than two weeks…I’ll be there the 21st. :((((((((
August 5th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Alas, right at the beginning of my England-trip! Well, at least I’ll be quite distracted and not have to mourn my inability to attend…!
August 5th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
bahhh!! i just came back to sf from la the other day….i was hoping the party wasn’t going to be for another week at least!!! pffffffftttt. I’m so bummed. I know it’ll be fabulous! have a fantastic time ladies!
August 5th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Con’grats!!
damn i need my license … and a car….
i need to get there, some how…
August 5th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Damn I wish I could be there. That’s all right though I’ll throw a small party here in Virginia in honor of the Coilhouse Magazine Launch. You all have a great time and congratulations! :D
August 5th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Ah, the whole ordeal looks amazing! Erin wants to come. :(
Well, have fun in there you guys.. *presses face to the glass*
August 6th, 2008 at 2:31 am
Gosh this looks amazing! Congratulations to the Coilhouse team!
(and have a London launch… so I can party with ya and check out this awesome art!)
August 6th, 2008 at 7:37 am
:D
August 6th, 2008 at 9:16 am
Wish I could be there. Have fun !
August 6th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Whoo hoo!!! Congratulations ladies!
Wish we could be there…sadly we won’t be in LA ’til Tuesday. *pout*
Is there anyplace we can pick up a magazine once we arrive?
August 6th, 2008 at 10:46 am
best of luck! i’m sure it will be utterly fabulous. sadly, i’m on the wrong coast to be able to attend. be sure to share pictures with us! :)
August 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I heard about this event through BoingBoing. Can I attend the launch?? Can I bring my family?? My sister and brother are teenagers. Please let me know….
August 6th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Good question, Kcota. I think you should be okay bringing folks under 21, but I’m not entirely sure? There will be a lot of booze around. We’ll talk to the gallery owner and get back to ya.
EDIT: Yep! Teens are most heartily and enthusiastically encouraged to attend. (Our lovely bartender Scar will be checking IDs.)
August 6th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I’m seriously so miffed that there’s a huge ocean and 9/10 of a rather sizable continent in the way. Unfair unfair. I’d pull teeth to be there. Have so, so much fun you guys - you deserve it. xo
August 6th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
I hear you there Mark, although I’m guessing it’s a different ocean to the one barring your way (I only have to cross the Pacific), but it’s still way too far away.
August 6th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Nice one guys. Enjoy it. It sounds like it will be the shindig of the century.
maybe us across the pond will hold a mirror party in joint celebration. Who’s up for it? Coilhouse UK launch party?
August 6th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Sonofabutt I wish i could come but for I’m out of town for a few weeks! Harsh!
August 7th, 2008 at 2:19 am
Would love to come to this. What are the chances of getting this in print in ZA?
Don’t s’pose anyone wants to post me a copy?
August 7th, 2008 at 11:12 am
I’m sending the love of my life as my proxy. Antony’s a sweetheart clone of Adrian Brody and I hope you take good care of him. It’ll break my heart, Mer, if I don’t find at least one photo of you two in the same frame.
August 8th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Gooby: I will join you in that corner, and we shall gloriously drown our sorrows in Tijuana wine and lint rollers. And next time, perhaps the House of Coil would be so kind as to hold their magical fête on OUR side of the state. Oh, one can dream, can’t one?
Mer: If you do play your theremin, I may well be spontaneously transported to your locale in a fit of awesome. Just so you know.
Coilhouseketeers: A huge and hearty congratulations, and please have a ridiculously fantastic time.
August 8th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
i’m hoping to make it with a friend. art, music, booze and nice creative people. what more can i ask for? not much, i think.
@Mer - i vote for theremin.
August 8th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
What is the cover charge for this event? If any?
August 8th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Ed, there is no cover for this event. Free wine, too, but the more hard drinks cost something.
August 8th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Thanks for the reply Nadya, and the free wine only sweetens the already sweetly loaded deal :)
I hope to be there!
August 9th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
I’ll be there. And if I can find any bells, I’ll put them on.
August 13th, 2008 at 5:54 am
