w/ Doobie Decibel System
According to Moonalice legend, today is the 20th of April … the day after Bicycle Day … two days after Patriots Day … better known to us as 4/20. This year 4/20 is the day that the United States finally decided to replace the horrific Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with the incredible and wonderful Harriet Tubman. Every year 4/20 is a day to celebrate the world’s most popular weed, cannabis. We are gathered here at Slim’s to share the High Holy Day of 4/20 with the members of our tribe. I am holding in my hands a set of 21 posters, by Chris Shaw, Winston Smith, Lauren Yurkovich, Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, Ron Donovan, Prairie Prince, Pat & George Sargent, John Seabury, Jennae Bennett, Dave Hunter, Chris Peterson, Lee Conklin, John Mavroudis, Jason Wilson, Gregg Gordon, Dennis Loren, Dennis Larkins, David Singer, Darrin Brenner, and Carolyn Ferris. Each of you will receive a full set at the end of the show. We also have two amazing screen prints, one each by Alexandra Fischer and Gary Houston, available for purchase at the merch table.
