Did you pick up your copy of the Imaginary Zine at the big Rockstar New Wave Karaoke Bash at Chop Suey on Friday, June 1st? 

If you don't have a copy of the zine yet (or you want to buy another!), you can order online or purchase at any upcoming Three Imaginary Girls event in the near future (next one: the 10th Anniversary Ice Cream Social at Bluebird Microcreamery in Capitol Hill on July 12!).  The zine is limited run of 333 copies (the back cover does not lie), so buy yours soon!

The Imaginary Zine is a 60-page old school printed zine recounting our first 10 years with some of our favorite blog posts and stories from our imaginary friends.  It also includes a cd chock full of rare, live, or exclusive songs by some of our favorite local artists (full list below)!

The most amazing part? It's only $4 (+ USPS postage)

Want a sneak peak of some of the radness inside the hand-crafted zine?

The most amazing PBR commerical ever: Disco, beer, and Patrick Swayze in a white suit + scarf. AWESOME. 

Untrimmed facial hair inspires a full-length documentary: The Winter of the Beard

World's Fair Nostalgia: A set of design images and photos from the 50s & 60s.

What if all the Mad Men characters were dogs? Dogster matches breeds to characters. 

There's a reason everybody's talking about the Dollar Shave commercial: Because it is HILARIOUS!

Who invited her again? Girls' night with Katniss, Buffy, Hermione….and fun-killer Bella: 

Katniss: So, how was everyone’s week?

Hermione: Oh, same old. Quidditch match, Ron being a whiny, emotional middle-child, a few random assassination attempts by the Dark Lord, saving Potter from certain doom. Y’know, the usual stuff.

Buffy: I was saving the world.

Katniss: I was also saving the world!

Bella: I jumped off a cliff to get the attention of my ex-boyfriend.

One of the best things about a Seattle Saturday night is listening to KEXP's Audioasis radio show as we prep to head out for the evening (or put the finishing touches on things before turning on the movie for nights at home). 

We've had this tradition as long as our Seattle memories serve, so you can imagine the roar of happiness that wafted across the imaginary offices when we received an invite to play some songs and chat with Hannah on this Saturday's edition of Audioasis!

Dana and I plan to spill some details on the Imaginary Holiday Party (mark your calendars: Friday, Dec 16th) as well as play a few brand new exclusive (never before heard) songs and some new local stuff that has been melting our hearts as of late.

Tune in at 7 pm PST to 90.3 fm or at KEXP.org to hear us buckle under the weight of Hannah's coolness... and play some songs we think you'll like.

Any last minute requests? Any Pacific Northwest bands what to record a quick cover of "Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You" so we can play it?

As if we needed another reason to love The Head and the Heart and Seattle and KEXP {who put together the free show last week}, imaginary photographer Victoria VanBruinisse captured all three in one of the most beautiful dreamy shots ever.

Now that we've kinda rested up from the crazy past few days, tell us all about your faves, notsofaves, surprises, and happiest moments of the weekend!

You can peruse all the other amazing photos from this weekend in the Imaginary Flickr Photo Pool {and add yours}!

We're starting off the week with an imaginary birthday celebration! Our very own Imaginary Victoria is commemorating her last day of this age on Monday {5/17} at the Triple Door Musiquarium (upstairs at the Triple Door) with a night of sixties soul deliciousness spun by KEXP's Greg Vandy.

It's free and 21+, so grab your ID and join us there for a dance-y good time.

Maybe we'll hear this song?

If you're like me -- in that you have a munchkin at home -- you know how hard it can be to rally and get out to a club. Thankfully, salvation comes for us parental folk with a hankering for rock venues this Sunday, when KEXP hosts its Fourth Annual Father's Day Dance Party. Crafts, cupcakes, breakdancing lessions! This sounds like huge big fun to me. If you feel the same way, you're in luck. Our kind friends at KEXP have offered up a free pair of tickets for one lucky imaginary reader.

Pull up your socks and get on your sneakers, we've got a big weekend ahead!

I feel like it's my birthday or something! I couldn't be more over-giddy about the next 72 hours. Who's with me?

If you head out this weekend, post your weekend recaps add your photo to the Sparkly Indie Pop Flickr Photo Pool so we can keep up on all the indie-oholic festivities!

KEXP know how to do it right. This year they are marking the holidays with not one, but two nights of yule goodness... and they are sharing the good times with us by giving us a pair of tickets for each night of Yule to give away to a lucky imaginary reader.

And in classic KEXP style, both evenings' line-ups are bumpin':

Friday 12/12 @ Neumo's

    * Grand Archives
    * Shearwater
    * The Dutchess and The Duke

Saturday 12/13  @ Neumo's

    * Thao with the Get Down Stay Down
    * Shearwater
    * Cancer Rising

You can enter to win tickets for each night, but you must enter each one seperately. To enter, email us at tig @ threeimaginarygirls.com with the subject line "KEXPYule-FRIDAY" or "KEXPYule-SATURDAY" before 4p (PST) on Monday, December 7th and you'll be entered to win.

***Please make sure to include your name in the body of the email***
