The INFOSHOP on Lazimpat (opposite Mahaguthi shop and the Gallery Cafe, in the same compound as Himalayan Cashmere Co. and Gallery 9) is up and running. Many d.i.y releases of all genres, CD-Rs at cheap prices, zines. We’ve so far had film shows (of live bands or documentaries), workshops on silk-screening own t-shirts, music workshops, and pot-luck lunches!!! Anyone can organise an appropriate little event there if they wish. Take it into your own hands. It’s become kind of like a youth club.We just like hanging out there all day and reading all the zines from around the world and talking shit, loudly, in a place where punk is blasting all day!!!
