Blues Benefit For S. Clay Wilson Saturday January 24th at The Mojo Lounge in Fremont
On November 2nd 2008, legendary Underground cartoonist S. Clay Wilson of Zap Comix fame, creator of The Checkered Demon, suffered a serious brain injury. His recovery will be long and difficult, and he is currently too disoriented to return home to his normal life.
With expenses mounting, long-time friend and musician Dave Hodtwalker has invited Wilson's friends and supporters in the San Francisco Bay Area to attend a Blues Benefit on Saturday, January 24th at The Mojo Lounge in Fremont. The Dave Walker Band, featuring Hodtwalker, Kenny Gross, Vic and Whitt Vicena, and Roger Lind, will be performing a smokin' gig! In addition, there will be pizza, pasta and salad provided, and an art sale with Wilson's comic books and other collectibles. At the end of the evening a special raffle will be held. Prizes include: Wilson comix and magazines donated by Hippy Comix, Inc., Mark Bode, Bob Levin, Black Swan Press, and Apex Novelties, music CDs, amplifier service coupons donated by Father's Amp Repair, wine baskets, original art and prints by Underground Comix master Spain, and paintings and drawings by Annette Hodtwalker, and more! There will be a suggested donation of $10 at the door. People who wish to stay for that evening's 9:30 Sonny Rhodes performance will not be charged an additional cover charge.
Come and celebrate the new administration in Washington by honoring S. Clay Wilson: a unique, original, and outrageous artist!
