VIDEO: The Rabbithole Recovery Benefit

Here's the video Justin shot of last Saturday's awesome event.  Thank you all so much for coming and being a part of a night packed with double-necked guitars, shadow puppetry, beach balls, a holographic buddha, awesome bands and plenty of other signs of rampant goodness.  We raised almost $3,000 in tickets, raffle and art sales, which will be instrumental for imminent repairs, but even better it was damn good to see all your fine faces.  Thanks you, and cheers.

Music by Jason Bartell (Fang island) recorded live at Rabbithole

Thanks again to our sponsors, Laura at United Photo Industries, the bands and performers Monogold, Jason Bartell, CC Carana, Jeanette Yew, Jack Wilson, Immediate Medium, all the artists and volunteers who helped make this such a wonderful success.  And thank YOU for supporting us through the years!

The full list of auction artists and performers, the “Total Rabbithole” programs and the printed program guide are on the benefit’s page.
