I got an email from Shantytown owner Ian Ranne Friday, letting me know the bar is now an official carrier of Vice Magazine. If you’re familiar with the wallpaper in the Shantytown bathrooms, this will not come as a surprise.
Vice is a free glossy magazine founded in Montreal, Quebec, and currently based in New York City that covers contemporary independent arts and youth culture. Known for its controversial content, it often strikes a sardonic and ironic pose on debauchery, sex, drugs, violence, and social issues involving race and economic class.
That makes Springfield the only place in the city you can get Vice Magazine. It’s free, but don’t go grab a copy without buying a beer or three. First come, first served, when they’re gone, they’re gone. Ask at the bar.
For more on Vice Magazine and the brand, here’s a 4 page New York Times article The Edge of Hip: Vice, the Brand.
