The benefit concert for the Edwin Johnston Legal Fund was a huge success! The Next Door Art Gallery and Spirits was full to capacity. We raised nearly $400 that evening. Headlining the show was Darryl Cherney of Earth First! Also playing were local muscians Kristi Rae and Ron Burton. Edwin Johnston gave a presentation and ran some videos and Rainbo de Klown spoke about his recent weekend in county jail for protesting in his neighborhood about the need for stop signs. Enjoy the photos of the event below for a taste of the evening's ambience.
