Legend

According to Moonalice Legend, today’s poster — #1006 in the Moonalice series – is a collaboration by Wes Wilson and Carolyn Ferris, depicts the great folk singer, Baez Odetta Moonalice. This is a real time view of Baez preparing to play at a demonstration tonight outside the White House. She is going to sing her new protest song, “Pffffttttt!”. A tribute to the white supremacist who occupies the White House, “Pffffttttt!” has a lyric composed entirely of harmonized farts and belches.

In the wake of Charlottesville and the historic Trump press conference yesterday, I want to take a moment to be serious. We want to thank all of you for coming out for tonight’s show. We want to thank you for being part of our tribe. We want you to know how much we appreciate everything you do. These are scary times and we need to stick together. For those of you who are here for the first time, I want you to understand what we stand for. The Moonalice tribe is committed to equality for all. We are committed to peace and love for all. We are also committed to cannabis for all. We stand in opposition to male patriarchy, white supremacy and all –isms.

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, it has been 50 years since the Summer of Love. Though it was criticized at the time for commercialism, the Summer of Love survives as a reminder that peace and love should be universal. In these difficult times, we need to stick together and help each other out. With that in mind, we have a poster for you from Wes Wilson and Carolyn Ferris. We will also be part of the Surrealistic Summer Solstice Jam on June 21 at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. And we have our fingers crossed that the official Summer of Love show will get approved by Parks and Rec!!! Show your love and share it!

Moonalice poster by Carolyn Ferris & Wes Wilson

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, everyone makes mistakes. The thing that matters is what you do after you make them. Today’s poster by the legendary team of Wes Wilson and Carolyn Ferris depicts Juanita Appleseed Moonalice, whose teenage years consisted of a seemingly endless series of mistakes and broken promises. Fortunately, the tribal authorities sent her to Delancey Lane, the predecessor to this wonderful institution. Delancey Lane was primitive by comparison — a bunch of huts with no running water — but the philosophy was the same. Everyone got a chance to start over, to live one day at a time, work hard and make the most of their lives. Juanita struggled at first, but she worked hard and learned a skill. She planted fruit trees throughout Northern California. Think about that next time you eat an orange or an apple! You, too, can make the world a better place.

Moonalice poster by Wes Wilson and Carolyn Ferris

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, today the highest of high holy days in the Moonalice tribe. It is a day when the tribe gathers in San Francisco… when we share the love, both emotional and herbal. It is a day filled with surprises. For example, I forgot my shirt and had to borrow one! Also, this is the first time I have ever shared a legend after the opening act and before our show. The set of 19 posters that our artists assembled for each of you is filled with surprises, as are the silk screen posters created by Gary Houston and Alexandra Fischer that are for sale. Alex’s poster features Rainy Day Moonalice the 35th, a master farmer in the tribe. Rainy Day the 35th is the person, who crossbred coconuts with fine sativas, significantly easing the challenge of importing Maui Wowie from Hawaii. But she also told me a story that blew my mind. Bob Dylan wrote a song about her and one of her siblings, Rainy Day #12. Everyone knows that when Rainy Day #12 and 35 get together, everybody must get stoned, but have you ever thought about what happens when you multiply those two numbers? Take all the time you need.

Today we are holding a raffle and silent auction on behalf of one of our artists, Dave Hunter, who is fighting brain cancer. Please give generously! We are also sending healing thoughts to our friend David Nelson.

We are playing tonight’s show to honor the memory of Pizza John Smaron, one of the earliest and most loyal members of the Tribe.

Thank you to our team: Dan English, Tim Stiegler, Derek Walls, Patrick Spohrer, Arthur Rosato, Jenna Lebowitz, Mike Weinstein, Gail Barnes, Jon Luini, Peter McQuaid, Tim McQuaid, Cyndy Poon, Joe Tang, Chris Shaw, Alex Fischer and all the artists …
