Now that I have your attention...heh. It seems impossible to me, but The Impossible Project is coming to LA this weekend from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th, over at Space 15 Twenty. They'll be selling film, gear, and I'd imagine accessories to show the world how much you appreciate the analogue world still.
I'm just excited to have the option of picking up films for my Polaroid Spectra SE (which sadly doesn't have more than a couple options...dreaming of an SX-70...).
There are also several workshops throughout the weekend you can sign up for, most of the free, if you feel like wetting your whistle in an instant. Here's the full list, copied from Impossible's blog:
New Frontiers Exhibition Opening
Friday April 12th, 6-9pm, FREE
Handpicked from our archives, this exhibition features works from California-based Impossible film photographers who have been early pioneers of our experimental analog film; Adam Goldberg, Toby Hancock, Bradley Johnson, Brandon Long, Clay Lipsky, Justin Molina, Jessica Reinhardt, Susan Sabo, and Laura Alice Watt. Stunning large scale enlargements, combined with originals, show off the wide range of colors and characteristics of our unique film chemistry as it has developed over the past 3 years. The exhibition will feature an installation of Hollywood signs and night time neons taken in Los Angeles by Toby Hancock.
