Williamsburg gadget store Dijital Fix opens its Lower East Side location tonight with a big party, and you're totally invited. The new space shares a Clinton Street duplex with new bar and restaurant Culture Fix. Upstairs, you'll find Dijital Fix's collection of speakers, headphones, cameras, and toys for grown-ups; downstairs, you'll find beer, wine, and tapas-style snacks. Connecting them is a giant gallery space with 18-foot ceilings where the Fix team plans to host exhibits, screenings, and live arts events. The entire space was built using fallen timber (scrap wood, essentially), so it's eco-friendly as well as dramatic.

The whole project launches at 7pm tonight with an opening party for the gallery's first exhibit. Called "Solstice: The Rebirth of Summer," it's made up of more than 5,000 photos taken on the iPhone app Hipstamatic, which creates a toy-camera effect. Culture Fix isn't open yet—it's waiting on a beer and wine license—but since it's a party, you can expect free food and drink (plus product giveaways from Dijital Fix!) And while we can't promise anything, we suspect Store Sidekicks alum Nino might make an appearance.
