SleepWhenDead = Joe Ahearn (me) + a million awesome friends

You can email me ideas for fun things for us to do together with this: zombie(at)sleepwhendeadnyc.com

I put out an all ages newsprint called Showpaper. I invite bands to play in my kitchen (known as Silent barn). I record these bands for others to listen to with Party Lab. Recently I’ve been hosting both a zine library and a DIY video game arcade called BabyCastles. If you’re desperate for more, New York Magazine asked me what I thought about stuff recently.

You have to imagine all the amazing shows that happened in 2008 + 2009 (or check the photos and video sections above) because there were too many for me to have time to archive.

Soon, all of life will be taggable.
