Strange Vacation will host a pop-up at Gem Gem, where they will showcase their collection and "spread cheer with some free beer" alongside the shop's curated selection of jewelry. Later on they will host The Dream Roll pre-party at Charlie Horse Saloon starting at 7 pm. For the unaware, The Dream Roll is a women's only motorcycle event that takes place on Mt. Adams in Washington, and of course Strange Vacation will be there as well with a booth representing their gear. If you happen to be a biker babe all three of these events are right up your alley.

Beacon Sound has gone through a bit of a shake up with the new additions of a concept outpost of Babylon Vintage and Quick Study's new design studio, and with this of course comes a party (or open house.) Have a drink at The Practice Space art gallery, listen to some tunes and browse records at Beacon Sound, shop vintage and directional designer clothing at Babylon Vintage, and check out Quick Study's design studio (the rumor is there might be a couple of surprises there) for an all around fun night.
Beacon Sound, 3636 North Mississippi, Thursday August 11, 6-10 pm
