Sculpture Culture show opens on Saturday in OntarioThere's not normally a lot going on in the part of the world where I grew up, but this weekend -- a few hours away from far eastern Michigan -- Uber Cool Stuff is bringing the indie toy scene to London, Ontario in the form of Sculpted Culture. The show will feature work from Brad Biederman, Gabe Griffiths and Jordan Gosselin, as well as pieces from indie toy designers throughout the province of Ontario. That sounds like it has the potential to be quite a bit of fun! The show opens from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Saturday at Uber Cool Stuff (123 Carling St., London, Ontario), and runs through Nov. 25. I'd love to go, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it there before the show ends; as always, I'll say go if you can! [via Kidrobot blog] Did you know?
