Eight Items or Less: No Age the Dopeness, Shepard Fairey Not Blind and Hudson Terrace Ready to Go
By Gary Pini

1. In case you missed both of their New York shows this week, you can catch the brilliant L.A. art/punk duo No Age at the South Street Seaport on July 11. And it's free! "They thrill by purposeful happenstance." - New York Times
2. Shepard Fairey is not going blind. The artist, who is diabetic, has had multiple surgeries to repair damaged blood vessels in both eyes and says he's now "all good." (via animalnewyork.com)
3. The Red Hook IKEA opens June 18.
4. Hudson Terrace, the $3 million nightclub that was set to open last fall, is apparently ready to go. Sean McGarr and Michael Sinensky's 4,000 sq. ft. space at 621 W. 46th St. is previewing tonight. We heard last night that another long awaited club, Santa's Party House, is opening for a very private party this week.
5. Seven Nevada high school students shot a documentary about New York rockers Sonic Youth and it's screening at the 10th CineVegas Film Festival in June. (via dailyswarm.com)
6. We love the new Rogan store at 330 Bowery. It's in the old Bouwerie Lane Theater where they have uncovered all the windows on the south side, painted everything black and hung a lighting grid with 20 pin-spots from the center of the ceiling. They wanted to mirror all the windows, but couldn't because the building is landmarked.
