ABOUT Meltdown Comics
At 9000 square feet, Meltdown is the largest pop culture emporium west of the Rockies. It’s ever-shifting stock holds new discoveries for even the most discerning reader and if you are new to the game the dimmest ember of obsession shall be fanned into a great bonfire here. Meltdown’s proprietors have seized every opportunity to upgrade service within the store resulting in unparalleled relationships with vendor and consumer alike. This means that as a customer of Meltdown, you have access to a worldwide network of purveyors of pop and if you don’t see what you want in front of you Meltdown can procure it almost instantaneously.
In 2004 Meltdown reconfigured the operation to expand their 10 yrs. old Melt Gallery to 2000 square feet. What was once a large stockroom has been transformed into a nexus of culture in Los Angeles, featuring well-reviewed group shows from prominent visual artists, lectures and workshops from industry professionals and free performances from some of the city’s most talented comedians, DJs and bands.
After 16 years of successful operation, Meltdown has grown into a traveler’s must-see destination and cultural landmark. Meltdown was named Best Comic Store in L.A. by Los Angeles magazine, the LA WEEKLY, and was honored with the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award last Century. Perhaps most notably, Meltdown Comics was immortalized by becoming a part of the Simpsons universe in the episode “Husbands & Knives” where the store’s design and layout was utilized to show how great a comic book store can be. All that is left for us to do now is find a way to get comics to the International Space Station…and we’re working on it.

Create a space in LA for women to be healthy, happy& play roller derby | Pepsi Refresh Everything.
Now in our fifth season, the Angel City Derby Girls have achieved a major goal in finding a new warehouse to call home. Located in East LA, the warehouse is in a perfect location to raise awareness to women’s health issues and bring fun, all-ages, pro-female sports entertainment to the community. In order for this organization to grow we need help raising money to make the space ready for practice and events.
Deliverables:
- 10 scheduled bouts for 2010
- Create new skater classes for learning roller derby while exercising and socializing
- Start skating exercise programs open to the public
- Start women’s health workshops open to the public
- Maintain our competitive teams to advance in the regional and national level
How will the 25K be Used? |
