ALL THE CHILDREN SING: Adobe Books Benefit Concert w/ Thee Oh Sees, Sonny Smith, and The Mallard Saturday, April 7th at The Lab 2948 16th Street (at South Van Ness) in San Francisco Doors at 8pm / Show at 8:30pm Sliding scale $10 - $20 »Music from Thee Oh Sees, Sonny and the Sunsets and The Mallard! »Stand up Comedy from George Chen and Anna Seregina! »Silent art auction with friends of Adobe! »Portrait photo booth with Andrew McKinley! Please join us in generating crucial funding and community support for Adobe Books. The bookshop is suffering from an imminent rent increase; the shop has only a couple months to regain its footing before it succumbs to closure. The event will feature music, comedy, art installations, and a silent art auction with artists who have been part of the Adobe community over the years. Participating artists will include: Devendra Banhart Randy Colosky Rachel Corey Kyle Field Michelle Guintu Chris Johanson Sandy Kim Grant Earl Lavalley Carey Lin Patricia Mera New Bohemia Signs Daniel Olsen Tyler Sharky James Sterling Pitt Kyle Ranson Raphael Villet Christopher West Lindsey White ... and many more! Despite dire financial difficulties, shop owner Andrew McKinley and Backroom Gallery curator Katie Hood Morgan have produced well over thirty exhibitions and events over the last two years, providing artists assistance through promotion, distribution, producing announcements and press, installation and opening night receptions. Come celebrate this important community center! Funds raised form the event will directly fund Adobe’s efforts to remain open and operating as a bastion for San Francisco residents – many of who sought refuge as new transplants, and who have since flourished. Among these artists are John Dwyer and Greer McGettrick, and their respective bands Thee Oh Sees and The Mallard are lending themselves to performing in-kind. Both bands will have merchandise tables, with flexi records and silkscreened posters in limited quantity, proceeds going to Adobe.
