GEEK OUT STORE is a Tokyo based label and vintage store founded by collector Chokkan-san, who is a lover of functional clothing and in particular an oracle on anything Massimo Osti. Geek Out Store acts as a research laboratory and creative outlet to connect with likeminded friends and create cool things. Chokkan-san is very well known for his unique screen printed items that often feature reflective or heat reactive details. All of which is done from his Tokyo based studio.
ROOM SHARE is a newly formed label by @c_h_k_n_@ryusuke_marume and @daifukushaolin . They have created this new space as a place where their ideas intersect, focusing on graphics and interesting print methods.

Welcome in
Massive thanks to everyone who came out to the launch of Full Auto: Vancouver SkyTrain Graffiti, 2001–2007 — the event exceeded all expectations! A special thanks goes to @movingparts.ca for organizing, @alteriordesign for hosting, and @pacificspirit and @rellyrels for the music. @alteriordesign sold out of the book before the end of the night and the few remaining t-shirts are available now through their physical shop and online. For those who have yet to secure a copy, @movingparts.ca has a limited quantity of books left (act fast as they will definitely sell out) and will have a small stock of t-shirts soon.

It is with great sadness that we announce our final board meeting event. We have faced the loss of our funding that had allowed us to stay running, and to continue forwards, we are needing to reevaluate what we are capable of doing. With that being said, we are excited to host one last meeting at our indoor space. We are still gearing up for a summer of outdoor events, so don't worry — this isn't the total end for us, just in an indoor capacity.
We will be giving away climbing shoes. If you or a friend has ever wanted to get into climbing, come down and get sorted. The shoes will be free or by donation. There will be lots of gear for us to get rid of.
March 19, 6–9 PM | 1705 Venables St
The event will be black tie formal, as this is a funeral for our beloved climbing wall.
