The 21 Grand benefit record sale is wrapping up even as I type this, but I walked away today with a small treasure trove of cassette tapes, films, posters, and a book of Veronica De Jesus's amazing memorial portraits (you might have seen them at Dog Eared Books in the Mission) printed and bound by Colter Jacobsen's Publication Studio. There were also sweet treats and coffee, George Chen making grilled cheese sandwiches on a George Foreman grill, and warmth and good vibes inside away from the passing rain showers. If you missed it today but still want to help 21 Grand make their rent before their lease is up there's a show at First Church of the Buzzard Friday featuring a host of genre-defying local musicians (Chen Santa Maria, Moe! Staiano, lots lots more). It will be awesome.
