Fabulosa 2011

For the 4th year in a row!

This weekend, I am excited to get out of the city to swim in that lovely lake again and I look forward to some quality "Campfire Jam" time with some of my favorite people.  It feels great fundraising for Power (women's advocacy) and Positive Images (queer youth services).  I love programing the entertainment and am so proud of our offerings each year.  Happy to be producing it as a local for the first time in four years and, as usual, I'm inspired and impressed by my co-producers Dawn and Judea.

This was an early version of the 2011 poster, made before Erase Errata and a few other acts confirmed.  As a collective, we later decided to stop using cursive font and to drop the word "Fest" from our awareness campaigns.  The evolution of Fabulosa continues.  We embrace life's only constant!

I spent a lot of time hanging this on community bulletin boards at coffee shops, co-operative grocery stores,  recorded music stores (a few still exist!), and independent book stores in San Francisco, Sebastopol, Santa Rosa...  Its fun to leave the city to talk to people in these kinds of places about what we're doing.  People are so supportive in the little Sonoma and Marin county communities - lots of love for fundraisers and music and film fests.   People regard philanthropy and the arts as essential to quality living.

We have the property reserved again in July 2012.  I have some acts booked already.
