from the Writers Monthly Rick Shaw Monkey CD Release D3Art Fundraising
Anti-Social of May 14, 2004 at The Grove@Juniper
Our warm thanks to everyone for making the May 14 Anti-Social a smashing
good time! Through the mysterious alchemy of mixing the wonderful music
of Rick Shaw Monkey with the welcoming vibe of The Grove at Juniper and
the kindness of many strangers we somehow managed to raise over
$200.00 toward the D3Art medical bills! Gosh, had we known that being
socially responsible was so much fun we would have started doing it a
long time ago!

District3 was a new and vibrant art gallery
in the Golden Hill community of San Diego. On the night of March 19th,
2004, the gallery's founders were victims of a violent robbery.
The attack resulted in the closing of the gallery, a loss of the owners'
investment in the neighborhood, and a loss to the neighborhood. The owners,
without medical insurance (we're talking artists here, folks), now have
substantial hospital/medical bills.
The May 14th Writers Monthly Anti-Social Event
is free and open to alland is dedicated to raising money to help
the people who dreamed of making District 3 the cultural heart of the
Golden Hill Neighborhood that they loved, and still love.
We ask you to join us in expressing our support and admiration and love
for the people who created District3, who inspired us by daring to live
true to their dreams and share the generosity of their spirit.
Come to our May 14 event. Support our host,
The Grove Bookstore, and treat your mind, by buying a book. Thank the
band, Rick Shaw Monkey, and put music into your life, by purchasing their
new CD. Help out Tim McCormick and Joshua Krause of District3 Art Gallery
recover their lives and get back to making art, by making a cash or check
donation.
There will be free wine, free food, free music, and many, many good people
to be with.
Donations can also be mailed to:
