When in the Los Angeles/ Orange County area visit our retail location for your your music and fashion needs. Ipso Facto's "Fall From Grace" site http://www.ipso-facto.com is the online weblair of the gothic store by the same name located at 517 N. Harbor Blvd, Fullerton CA 92832 (phone:714-525-7865). Opened in 1989 by Terri Kennedy (Bob Medeiros came onboard shortly after the store's opening), the store first hosted an art gallery, monthly band performances and poetry readings. Also serving as practice space for Terri's band, Stone 588, the remaining gallery space was utilized for body piercing until 1999, when piercing ceased as overflowing merchandise engulfed the entire store. Ipso Facto still occasionally hosts live bands such as Last Dance's acoustic performance in 2006, Faith and the Muse (2004), Human Drama (2004), Audra's performances in 2001 and 2002; Voltaire in 2001, 2004 and the Mors Syphilitica and Lovespirals performances in 2002.
Here are some antidotal memories about Ipso Facto by Terri in No Particular Order:
1. Beat Bob over the head with the open sign, when he let too many people in for free to our poetry "Sofa Readings!"
2. Signed the lease at the adjacent Taco Bell. I got the feeling the owners really thought I would fail since I had never done anything like owning a shop before.
3. We had NOTHING on the walls when we first opened. Just blank space that echoed.
4. Before we opened, my Dad and friend Diana helped me lay those black and white tiles on the floor. First we tried to paint the floor patina green.
I rented a belt sander to get all the carpet adhesive up off the floor. But it didnt work. We painted the floor several times over and paint just refused to adhere to the floor.
So we opted for the black and white tiles on a whim.
5. My friend Mark O. (artist/fashion maven extrordinaire) helped drill the anchors for the wall in his witch boots & gothwear with his Dad's 1/4 horsepower drill.
(Hmm he used to hike in those pointy cockroach killers as well..come to think of it, so did I! Well, I had my own pair..lol)
6. At Stone 588 band practice one night in the shop after hours bassist Jon's amp rumbled so low and loud that a wig head fell off a shelf and cracked our jewelry case glass.
Hmmm more funny stories later..
