SeaweedSway Sunday: Conspiracy of Beards, Conspiracy of Venus, Here's Rusty! @ the Make-Out Room (+ events calendar)


hello!
happy spring equinox! (& belated st. patrick's day + new moon)

*this sunday at the make-out room we'll celebrate all there is to celebrate w/ a double (or triple?) conspiracy for the monthly SeaweedSway Showcase. this month we have a crazy line-up of Conspiracy of Beards, Conspiracy of Venus, & Here's Rusty! w/ mc Jeremy Dalmas. that's not all though. part of the proceeds will benefit Awamaki, a Peruvian NGO with which Conspiracy of Beard'er & frequent SeaweedSway-er Demetrius Marcoulides works. we hope to have advanced tickets up at http://brownpapertickets.com sometime today just to save spots for those who plan to attend. if you don't get an advanced ticket, please arrive early to kick the night off & secure your spot under the streamers! (but don't be afraid to show up late if your schedule is not conducive to early arrival.) full description is below! thanks to Emily Savage for the show write-up in the SF Weekly, highlighting Conspiracy of Beards! http://www.sfweekly.com/events/seaweed-sway-showcase-1776287 thanks to Scot Velardo for the spectacular poster design.

*if you're new to this list or haven't figured out what it is: SeaweedSway = music, movement, yoga, nature events + news for SF Bay folks & beyond. it's an evolving project to encourage, cultivate, & support creative community.

*in attempt to transition away from the manual email list format, i ask that you go to http://groups.google.com/group/seaweed-sway & sign up for the google group to continue or start receiving these updates.

*whenever you think of it, please check facebook & this blog for updates through the week, as this is just a partial listing...

Other names for this month's celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn."
