hangover lounge.

in the early days of chickfactor, pam and gail used to shop at a handful of places in the new york area: pier platters, of course, and maybe kim’s and rebel rebel; john fluevog shoes; and detente, which sold silly japanese kitsch and later closed to make way for air market, a place for us to stock up on extremely silly mr. friendly backpacks and such. sadly the old third avenue institution is being forced out, probably to make way for a cosi sandwich shop or some other stupid chain. and speaking of pam, indiepop vocal legend and chickfactor cofounder, she and her hubby will be DJing at london’s hangover lounge this weekend. we so wish we could be there.
