I was driving up 26th St. on my way to get a taco and passed by Southern Exposure Gallery on the corner of 26th and Mission, where they have been occupying the storefront of a former flower shop for several months after moving out of their longtime home at Project Artaud. As I stopped at the light I noticed the space was full of busy artsy types all occupied in some kind of handicraft project. Checking their website this morning, I see it was a “wrapping party” for a periodic publication of theirs, The Thing, this edition edited by the darling of the independent film/performance art scene, Miranda July.

There are no Flickr photos of the event posted yet, suggesting that the people attending the party were so cool that none of them deigned — or dared — to document it. But I’ll post a link once someone breaks and posts some.
