Fire Relief TONIGHT w/ PapaBear, The WyattAct, JosiahJohnson, Mayya&theRevolutionary HellYeah + DJ JohnVanderslice @ RickshawStop //// +SocialEquity in SFcannabis THIS WEEK

Hi out there!
If you've been paying attention at all to Seaweed Sway land, you may have noticed it's been a marathon month. This show is the light at the end of the tunnel, getting close to the finish line.

Short version, I'm co-presenting this show TONIGHT/SATURDAY for North Bay Fire Relief. Come!

I gotta say, this show has EVERYTHING going for it. 

*Money going to North Bay fire victims
*the most incredible live music by Papa Bear and the Easy Love, The Wyatt Act, Josiah Johnson (+ guests Chelsea Coleman & Rory Cloud), & Mayya & The Revolutionary Hell Yeah
*dj'ing by THE John Vanderslice
*delicious vegan food (from queer local pop-up Vegan and Sara!)
*awesome raffle prizes from local businesses, for those who get tix in advance
*and it's a Saturday 
*at one of our favorite venues in the city, the Rickshaw Stop
*It's only $10!
*Oh yeah, & it's the FINALE of the first From SF With Love series, which is/was 3 shows this month to provide relief for the North Bay fire victims.

I can't even completely believe how much has come together in such a short time, for this magic night.
The ONLY thing it's got against it is that so many folks are away for the holiday weekend. 
So ---- I ask any and all of you who are in SF today/SATURDAY, please make the effort to get to this show. Trust me on this one. 💚💜💙💚💜


Bands include: Papa Bear & the Easy Love, The Wyatt Act, Josiah Johnson, & Mayya & the Revolutionary Hell Yeah PLUS John Vanderslice DJ'ing through the night

Thanks to the Bay Bridged for shouting out this show:

Thank you...!!!!!!!!!

Secondly, a message from my partner Jesse Stout (who I met 6 years ago through this list!!) about something he's been working very hard on (in collaboration with many others), building Social Equity into SF's Cannabis Laws of 2018. Simple steps below on what we can all too help make the Equity Program a reality.

Hi everyone! The SF Board of Supervisors will vote next Tuesday 11/28 on the cannabis ordinance and whether it will include a meaningful Equity Permit Program addressing racial inequities in cannabis entrepreneurship. Here's how you can help:
1. 'Like' our brand-new facebook page here.
2. Call the SF supervisors (especially your supervisor!) ASAP and ask them to support the Equity Program (see script here on last page of slide deck).
3. Show up to the Board of Supervisors hearing, 2pm on Tues 11/28 at SF City Hall, to show physical solidarity and bear witness.
4. Ask your friends, fam, neighbors, and colleagues to do 1 + 2 + 3 above!

Thank you all!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHRIS GARNEAU.
"The songs inhabit a bigger, almost stratospheric aesthetic-none more so than "Oh God"—which possesses a new sounds that positions him to a much larger audience." —VOGUE
“Haunting, melancholy, and utterly spellbinding.” –OUT
“It's soft, honest, and wholeheartedly intimate.” —VILLAGE VOICE
Chris Garneau's sound combines elements of folk, Americana, and pop. He has a new LP on its way, scheduled for an early 2018 release. Pre-order your copy of "Yours" here: https://www.chrisgarneau.com/shop

watch/listen/enjoy:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOXTAILS BRIGADE (duo).
The Hollywood Hills-born daughter of a horror filmmaker and sister of a cult comedian, Foxtails front-girl Laura Weinbach grew up in a household that embraced eccentricity. Her next-door neighbors were circus contortionists with emus and fang-toothed monkeys as pets and her childhood activities included snail hunting and spying on celebrity neighbors like Slash, Ice-T, and Larry from Perfect Strangers. Laura’s upbringing is present everywhere in Foxtails Brigade, from the lyrical imagery to the hand-drawn artwork and sophomoric Instagram cartoons.
The band’s live show is a clockwork of junkyard beats, warped orchestral sonics, and Laura’s trademark voice and classical guitar intricacies with an A-List ensemble featuring performing members of Bright Eyes, Van Dyke Parks, and John Kale.  The songs tackle subjects of substitute teaching in the Oakland and LA public school scenes, steak appreciation, and general unfairness awareness with a warped pop sensibility akin to influences like St. Vincent, Joanna Newsom, The Smiths, and Spoon.

SEAWEEDSWAY presents.
Seaweed Sway is a community endeavor intending to bring people together in the bay area, mostly thru *local music shows* and sometimes via yoga classes, dance, & ecological events.
