Legend

According to Moonalice legend, our artists have created fifteen posters for tonight’s 4/20 show, each describing a different aspect of the Moonalice legend.

This lovely set includes posters by Carolyn Ferris, Darrin Brenner, David Singer, Dennis Loren, Dennis Larkins, Dave Hunter, Lauren Yurkovich, Stanley Mouse, Lee Conklin, Ron Donovan, Wes Wilson, Alexandra Fischer, Wendy Wright, John Mavroudis, and John Seabury.

The poster by Wes Wilson depicts Chief Waldo Moonalice of the San Rafael Moonalices. Chief Waldo was a community leader of the finest kind. Waldo’s leadership skills emerged in high school, where each day he led his classmates in a ritual smoke at the statue of Louis Pasteur. Originally known as a 4:20 Louis, that ritual evolved into the high holy day that we celebrate here tonight.

Moonalice poster by John Mavroudis

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, today’s poster by John Mavroudis depicts another member of the Moonalice Baseball Hall of Fame, Yogi Moonalice, the catcher. The great Casey Stengel used to say every team has to have a great catcher; without one, you get a lot of passed balls. It’s really important for catchers to keep their head in the game, not in the clouds. What do you with catcher whose head IS a cloud? You put him on the Moonalice baseball team, which is where Yogi Moonalice has been ever since.

Artist’s Statement

“When I think of Spring the first two things that come to mind are renewal (nature and creative) and baseball. Using the baseball theme as a frame (I chose the baseball cards from the 1952 Bowman set, which, I think, are the most beautiful card set ever produced), I arranged the cards by commonalities… the ballet (hands above the head) pose, blue sky and clouds shots, catchers, portraits, batting positions, etc…. and then finally finished an image that been dancing around my head for a long time: the catcher is most distinctive figure on the field… and so… stands apart from the rest of the crowd. It’s not easy being different and he’s got the protection to prove it. This unique figure stands alone, head not in the clouds but actually part of the cloud… dreaming creative things while awaiting the next pitch.” – John Mavroudis

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, tonight’s poster by John Mavroudis depicts Aldus Manutius Moonalice, a man of letters.  Literally.  The dude was a mess of fine print, most of which just screamed, “Moonalice!”   What would have been a crippling liability for most people, enabled Aldus to thrive.  No one could do a better job of reading between the lines.   He arrived in Berkeley in time for the Free Speech Movement, and was suspected of being the prepared text for Mario Savio’s major speeches.   Last year, he went up to Davis to read the Riot Act to Lt. Pike, the campus policeman who made pepper spray famous.  If you check out the fine print on your ticket, Aldus be here now.

Moonalice poster by John Mavroudis

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, we have a dozen posters tonight . . . all legendary . . . by Stanley Mouse, Carolyn Ferris, Wendy Wright, Gary Houston, David Singer, John Seabury, John Mavroudis, Dennis Loren, Dennis Larkins, Lee Conklin and Darrin Brenner. We also want to thank the other poster artists who are with us tonight: Wes Wilson, Chuck Sperry, Lauren Yurkovich, Dave Hunter, Alexandra Fischer, Marguerite Kelley (widow of Alton Kelley), and our incredible art director, Chris Shaw.

Time will not permit me to share the legends from all the posters, but with a three set show, I can go further than normal.

According to Moonalice legend, this poster by Carolyn Ferris, depicts a very talented bloke from Bromley, England – the man formerly known as Sir Sinjin Moonalice – testing the full pharmacopia of the Moonalice tribe. Given the quality and quantity of Moonalice natural remedies, this was a job requiring tremendous self-sacrifice. Pete’s commitment to the betterment of the tribe serves as a model for us all. Happy 4/20!!!

According to Moonalice legend, this poster by Stanley Mouse depicts the day – early in the life of this band – when we stopped for burritos in a shop in Willits, CA on our way to a gig in Laytonville. One of our former bandmates and I added Cholula hot sauce to our burritos from a communal bottle that was on the condiment rack behind the shop. Long story short, somebody dosed us. This picture doesn’t look like anyone I saw that day . . . so the image must be of me. I hope I didn’t strangle the cat.

According to Moonalice legend, this poster by Dennis Larkins depicts the day that Pokey Moonalice, the tribal basset hound, first came to San Francisco. Pokey didn’t have a car or opposable thumbs, so he jumped in the back seat of a convertible somewhere near Portland and hitched a ride with two white people who had no idea what they were in for. Sadly, Pokey didn’t keep a diary, so we have no idea either. Oh well. That’s why they call it 4/20!!!
