**Saturday March 3rd, 2012 12pm-6pm**

"St. Pete Indie Market is a monthly showcase of local artists, indie designers, horticulturists, eclectic crafters and non profit groups who take over the sidewalks of the 600 block artist community the first saturday of every month. This is a unique destination for artisans, progressives, tourists and locals to come together in an outdoor alternative to retail setting. With 20+ vendors, local musicians and live art, the St. Pete Indie Market is a vital weekend destination for those in search of local flavor and the indie spirit."

Vendors will be hand selected and showcased along the 600 block sidewalk among the shops and galleries. For inquiries about being a vendor, please email stpeteindiemarket@gmail.com

Local Artists, Indie Designers, Skilled Crafters, Musicians, Herbalists, Horticulturists, Non Profit/Activists Groups, Anything Funky!

MOVEABLE TYPE, Kyle Durrie... a pleasure to meet you!

I have to say this is one of the best events that eve-N-odd had anything to do with!  Such a pleasure to meet the traveling letterpress owner, Kyle Durrie.  She has been to over 120 cities throughout the USA and Canada since July!  Pretty amazing!  Thanks to everyone who came out to see how a letterpress works!  It was a fun day!

Moveable Type is a truck that contains a letter press and is traveling to St. Petersburg, FL... and parking outside of the Crislip arcade/eve-N-odd gallery!
The truck runs on donations so I hope the community comes out and tries out the letterpress and donates to the cause!

About the Project:

"Quite literally, moveable type is the system of printing that uses moveable pieces of type – individual letters, numbers, characters – to reproduce the elements of a document. Invented in China, but popularized by Johannes Gutenberg in 1440, moveable type was like the internet for the 15th century, allowing widespread reproduction of printed materials like books, announcements, and advertising. Today, moveable type is associated with the art of letterpress printing. It is also a project involving 1982 Chevy step van and a few thousand pounds of lead, wood, iron, and love.

My name is Kyle Durrie.  I’m a letterpress printer from Portland, Oregon and the proprietor of Power and Light Press.

I am inspired by wobbly lines, history, overheard conversations, logs, whiskey, trains, the color brown, the Wild West, dogs, salt water, road maps, vintage office supplies, and beards, among other things. I also love crossword puzzles, swimming in creeks, green chile, adventures, and occupying small spaces.

But two of my favorite things in the world are printing and road trips. These two things kept getting in the way of one another in my life, though; they seemed mutually exclusive. I wanted to figure out a way to do both things at the same time."
