[Blacklabcollective] Show: Institute show on August 10th

[Anju Singh]

Also, just noticed this is the sacred bones institute, not the noise/power
electronics institute.. raf: do you think that show is too big for our
space? Institute are a big deal (among my friends at least..). Im stoked
but wouldn't it be too big? If you do it, i'll help for sure because I
would be there anyway.
