ANNOUNCEMENTS

a mini-update on Hollis. thank you to everyone who gave to help her and who came to the GOLD RUSH benefit recently at Slim's. $10,000 was raised that night thanks to all of you! $100,000 has been raised overall, but money is still needed to support her and her family during this time of healing. you can donate at http://friendsofhollis.com anytime. a loan was taken out last week to fly her back to the US, and she is now at Stanford University Hospital, receiving donated care. her Mom has huge medical bills from India in addition to the loan for the flight to pay back, so every donation helps. check http://friendsofhollis.blogspot.com for updates on Hollis and to find out about more benefits. she is reported to be making verbal noises, opening eyes, and squeezing hands - please continue to keep her in your thoughts.

also, did you hear? the Obamas are going to grow an organic garden on the White House lawn! celebrate by planting an organic garden at your house too!

events list & Call for Help: GOLD RUSH Benefit for HOLLIS Thursday


dear friends,

as many of you may have heard, Hollis Hawthorne, a friend & inspiration to many, is in need of our help. she was in a terrible motorcycle accident in India a couple of weeks ago and is still in a coma, without insurance. the community response has been amazing and overwhelming, with everyone working harder than ever to raise $ to fly her back to the US in an air ambulance, but there is a lot of $ still needed to make it happen. Stanford Hospital has incredibly agreed to donate their care once she arrives. last i heard, $70,000 has already been raised, and the goal is $150,000.

a group of us have come together quickly to organize a huge benefit happening this thursday at Slim's in SF, a GOLD RUSH for HOLLIS. details are below & attached. conspiracy of venus is singing a few songs, and there is an eclectic lineup to make for an exciting variety show. if you are around, please come and share your energy to help get Hollis a little bit closer to returning to home.

*all* forms of help are welcome. go to http://friendsofhollis.com to see the latest news. http://friendsofhollis.blogspot.com has up to date information from her boyfriend Harrison who is with her in India, being encouraged and supported by this wonderful community we all share. please give however you can, come to the benefit, and check the websites for news & inspiration! thank you.

Tyson Vogel of the Two Gallants steps from behind the drums and let's you hear his voice in his new band Devotionals. Come check it out.


www.myspace.com/carlettasuekay
"Thus, in the way of Sybil, Carletta Sue Kay was birthed, to give voice to Walker's more lilting, Emmylou Harris–meets–Ma
gnetic Fields tunes. Backed by Metal Bob on guitar and Danyol and Mark Mekaru on piano, cello, rhythm guitar, and accordion, Carletta croons her way through an lovely echo chamber of gender-benders..."

www.myspace.com/secondcousin

San Francisco's Jason Finazzo is best known around these parts as the frontman for The Naysayers. Aside from this rip roaring and rocking gig, Finazzo doubles under the name Secondcousins, his alter ego/moniker for his down home brand of Americana. Sounding at home in the Saloons of last century, Finazzo is an old soul if ever there was one. Fueled by equal parts wine and guts, his material is at once poetic and wounded, with a voice that is desperate, delicate and emotional. His solo material shows a man more troubled than his Naysayers exterior would allow, but which the Bay Area is more than ready to embrace.

Yoga Tuesday Dedicated to Hollis, Donate to Help Bring Her to U.S. Hospital

Dear Friends,
This is a reminder that I'm teaching yoga tomorrow night at the Caretakers House. Please RSVP if you can make it! (jessyjeanine@gmail.com)

Tomorrow will be a special class, as it will be dedicated to Hollis.

While I do not know her well, she is a friend of many friends, and recently expressed interest in coming to this yoga class upon her return from a trip to India. However, last week, while in India, she was in a horrible motorcycle accident, and is in a coma now. Funds are currently being raised to try to bring her back to the US. Read details here: http://friendsofhollis.blogspot.com and please donate whatever you can, spread the word.

It is a free class usually, but any donations tomorrow and in the next few weeks will be contributed towards getting Hollis back to the US, where she will be admitted to the Stanford Hospital. Please keep her and her family and friends in your thoughts as you move through your days.

Information about the class is at http://seaweedswayyoga.blogspot.com

Thanks. Hope to see you there, or soon.
Jessie
