The small shop is currently located at the 2nd floor Circle C Mall, Congressional Avenue Quezon city, Metro Manila (the mall is owned by the Cinderella group of companies and its just right beside Cherry Food-O-Rama supermarket, and right above Robinson's Supermarket).

Aside from having an S.M. or shop-in-the-mall. We also have sort of roving stall. We place our goods in a 1972 Kombi van and go to big gigs in the metropolis with our merchandise. With this venture we, together with other local alternative/indie merchandize will be exposed to a bigger but more specialized market.

P.S. With our recent venture into local independent cd/merchandise consignment ( or what we call "The
Indie Lab") we are slowly evolving into small music shop that carries independent cds and merchandize from local artists/bands/groups. With your support and participation no doubt it would greatly help both of us in propmoting the local filipino music scene.

The Department of Trade and Industry and CITEM in cooperation with the Cultural Center of the Philippines, British Council Manila, Asian Institute for Management, and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts will be holding the First Philippine Creative Industry Forum billed as NURTURING THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY IN THE PHILIPPINES at the CCP Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (Little Theater) September 7-9, 2005

As an emerging and dynamic sector of the Philippine economy, the creative industry which includes publishing, printing and literature; music and the performing arts; visual arts; crafts, design and architecture;
audiovisual and new media; cultural heritage; and cultural activities, needs to be recognized and supported.

The Forum aims to develop greater awareness and understanding of the creative industry and its contribution to the Philippine economy, and to formulate strategies on how the government, business and
private sectors can work together to help develop and promote the creative industry in the Philippines.

Aside from the main forum, there will also be small round table discussions, interactions, performances, exhibition, and social gatherings to afford the participants to network and establish linkages.

We would like to invite everyone who are part of the creative industry to participate in the Forum. As an important stockholder in the arts and culture sector, you and your organization’s participation will be crucial to the success of the project.
