The Filaments Project collects used guitar strings from guitar players; some whose names you know, some whose names you don’t. We make bracelets and other jewelry out of them and donate all profits from the sale to charity.

Last night Pete walked into the Merch Room at the Sweetwater and handed me a big bundle of strings. Look at the size of that bracelet! Special pre-4/20 offer: one each Pete, Barry & Roger for $50. I think I can do four sets. After 4/20 I'm raising my prices but you should always remember to ask for the Tribe Discount on Moonalice donated Filaments for Sweet Relief!

Happy to report that this week I took orders on 3 sets of Barry String Bracelets and my only set of Chubby Wombat Strng, which is actually quite chubby. Coming soon, lots more Moonalice string joolery and also such luminaries as The New Riders, Amanda Palmer, Heart, DSO, David Gans, And Further/The Fall Risk. And a couple other BIG names I can't talk about yet... I am SO excited! Help support the music and the musicians; www.sweetrelief.org., www.facebook.com/knot-working

Some of you know I've been collecting used guitar strings and making bracelets out of them. I am both donating them and donating a hefty chunk of the gross from any sales I make personally to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. All of the donations are going directly to help supplement the expenses for Robin Sylvester (Ratdog, Jemimah Puddleduck, Rubber Souldiers, Fog City Geezers) for his Kidney replacement surgery and living expenses.

And I think it would be a good blog. But I need to be able to contact just about everybody involved in the Moonalice experience. I guess step #1: Ask Chubby...

I LOVE YOU GUYS

I'm coordinating and co-curating this Show at Elsewhere Gallery in Fairfax. Already updating the Tribe via Facebook & Twitter and will now copy info to this blog as well. I believe we now have FIFTEEN artists participating with new work and old favorites. I hope you can join us in Fairfax, CA, home of "Iron Springs Newest Bartender" for TWO opening receptions and an evening with Moonalice at 19 Broadway!

I wrote this the night of my first Moonalice show. I didn't know any of you then and now some of you are my Best Friends so I wanted to share it with you.

doin what i do best

Its a long, long time since I had Chemistry with a band.I enjoyed dancing with Nightsage when I was with them, but there is a difference between that kind of performance art and getting Down and spontaneously Communicating with a bunch of musicians. I had it with the Dead, of course but never got to actively share the experience with the band directly. I did with John Cipollina & the various bands he played with.
