Hot One Inch Action at Hot Art Wet City Pop-Up Gallery on Saturday October 27, 2012. The trading was hot at the button show as costumed party-goers filled the gallery for the 9th annual event. Despite the rain, there was a line-up to get in and JJ’s Trucketeria outside serving up delicious food to keep people happy.

MUSIC: “Blackout” by Amoeba Men

Last night’s Hot One Inch Action show at the HAWC Gallery was crazy. People were arriving before it started (it was rainy so we let them in) and by 8:30 the place was packed. We had a line-up outside for a while but luckily food truck JJ’s Trucketeria was on hand to keep everyone happy. Looking forward to the US shows and next year’s 10th anniversary in Vancouver!
