Verbivore
From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History
Revision as of 22:50, 17 April 2005 by 12.202.17.152 (talk)
Verbivore was Louisville's first infoshop. Modeled on revolutionary leftist/anarchist shops all over the world, Verbivore sought to bring radical political and cultural ideas to Louisville. The store carried zines, newsletters, pamphlets, a few audio selections, magazines (such as Anarchy or Z), and many books from AKPress and many other publishers/distros.
The store was a hobby directly out of the apartment of the owners that turned into a drain on their personal resources, time, and privacy. After eight months, they decided to close down because too many sales were just stickers, buttons, and t-shirts.
Volunteers that occasionally watched the store:
- Jamie Miller - owner
- Liz Palmer - owner
- Maryam Mirriahi
- Mike Harpring
- Corey Lyons
- Bryan Volz
