hey everyone! first things first:
3 super really good bands are playing at viracocha tonight - fox & woman, petoskey (pdx), & river whyless (north carolina). since two of them are touring, it may be your one-time chance to see them (i.e. who knows when they'll be back), and they could use the support as they've been on the road and would appreciate a nice SF audience! you know how that is. plus it's at viracocha so you can't go wrong there. so cozy & quaint & beautiful. also, locals fox & woman are astonishing and will blow you out of the water, or the rainy day mood, or whatever it is you want to escape...
take a listen (they all have bandcamp pages too, thank the music internet gods):
...
thursday! we are celebrating women's history month, honoring the efforts and progress of women, at amnesia. + i'll be celebrating my last day at my job of 7.5 years and would love your company. with music from the emily anne band, valerie orth, & the jro project.
and hey, guess what? you can win tix here! if you answer the question "Who is the most influential woman (living or historical) in your life and why?"

KICKSTARTER:
little heart: a comic anthology for marriage equality: http://www.
ok, so i dropped the ball on sending this out sooner, but i still wanted to feature it cuz it's a really cool project being created by my friend raighne in minnesota. here's his description of the project:
"Little Heart is a comic anthology created to show support for marriage equality, produced in partnership with 2D Cloud & [MN]Love and YOU.
Love strikes all walks of life and it is as normal as it is diverse, as universal as it is unique. The definitions of love and marriage aren't something that can be mandated through the passage of laws; rather they develop individually for each and every one of us.
This project was spawned by the very urgent need to fight the 2012 referendum that seeks to instill discrimination and hate in the Minnesota state constitution. Since Little Heart’s inception, the project has grown. The reason for the growth is that the issue itself is bigger than Minnesota. Which is why we have enlisted artists across the US, Canada, and a small sampling of international artists. "
