If you have previously been curious re: Spoken Word events in SF, I highly recommend this event, regardless of your thoughts re: local politics. It should be an amazing evening of nacreous beauty in both lyric, song, and art. The art show/silent auction should be interesting as well since Matt Gonzalez, an insanely avid art collector, is donating several pieces from his personal collection. Who knows what you might be able to find.

Myself, I will be donating my Carwash Series Prints. Considering that the framing along cost $150+, we're hoping to raise some good dollars for the campaign. Maybe this will give me a bit more confidence with some more of my photagraphy.

If you would like to donate art for the auction, or plan on attending: please let me know. It'll be a delightful way to spend the evening with you.
