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.
