S. Clay Wilson Benefit, April 18 in Hot Springs
Rev. Ivan Stang
Founding ZAP! COMIX cartoonist and all around bon vivant S.Clay
Wilson (creator of the Checkered Demon, Captain Pissgums and Ruby the
Dyke) suffered a brain injury on November 2nd, 2008. He fell down
and went boom while walking home to his San Francisco apartment that
night and almost died from the trauma of the injury.
Wilson is doing well today thanks to TLC from his intrepid and
beautiful soulmate Lorraine Chamberlain plus aid and
encouragement from his many friends and fans. However, the doctor
bills are enormous and continue to mount as he is still receiving
physical therapy treatments.
And that is why LOW KEY ARTS and Wilson's fellow Lincoln,
Nebraska "homie" Dale Ashmun are hosting a benefit DANCE PARTY on
Saturday April 18th at the Low Key Arts Center, starting at 8pm
(all ages). Admission will be a low $3.00 and there will be many S.
Clay Wilson books and comix for sale to raise additional money for our
favorite pirate.
The Dance Party will feature DJ Princess PartyGirl, a native of
Lake Charles LA., fresh from a two week stay in the Orleans Parish
Prison for having too much fun during Mardi Gras. Her cousin El
Gordo, the notorious SubGenius World Champion Nude Blood Wrestling
Champ, will be providing special dance lessons and demonstrating some
top secret rasslin' holds. The reclusive Roody Toot Kazoody, Rock n'
Roll Guru and founder of Gurock will be performing a few songs as
well. Frantic dance music from the 40s through 90s will be featured
and there will be numerous dance contests, a round or two of musical
chairs and special surprise contests with exquisite prizes galore.
You'll also be treated to a showing of S. Clay Wilson art from the
collection of his friend and fellow Cornhusker Dale Ashmun. Dress as
your favorite rock star and receive 2 for 1 admission to this Can't
Miss Low Key Arts event. Ambient video from the vaults of obscure
beat poet J. Melvin Prufrock will add the overall eyecandy on display.
