Event Details

Tip of our cap to Mission Mission for letting us know that this cool bookstore in the Mission is trying to keep their doors open, so come and celebrate Adobe’s past, present, and future with us this Saturday, Feb 23, 2013.

We “think” the event is free (there’s no cost listed anywhere on the site) but it is a fundraiser, so make sure you bring a little cash just in case for a night of readings, art, DJs, food, snacks, beer and wine.

We’ll be hosting some of the Mission’s finest artists and entertainers:

  • Reading by Marina Lazzara, Chris Carlsson, Maw Shein Win, & Sarah Wishby from 7-8
  • Music by DJ Carnita (Hard French), 8-10:30
  • Photo booth by Shot in the City, 8-9:30
  • Rocky’s Frybread, 8:30-10:30
  • Snacks generously provided by our friends at Rainbow Grocery
  • After donation, complimentary drinks provided by Speakeasy, Trumer Pils, and Broadside wine

Participating Pop-ups: Hearth Coffee Roasters, Golden Collective, The Explorist International Records, Second World Farms

And we’re promoting a new crowdfunding campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/adobebooks

10 months ago when we heard that Adobe Books was about to be forced out of business by a 4k per month rent increase, we formed a group to try to save it. Adobe has been such an important part of our lives as artists, writers, book lovers, and Mission dwellers — not only for the books, but for the impromptu events and gatherings; the gallery featuring local artists; the discussions, friendships and connections it has nurtured among us; and the generous, welcoming spirit of the place — that we couldn’t see the neighborhood without it.

We hope to create a new Adobe that is everything we love about the old Adobe and more — with a sustainable business plan that can become a model for other efforts like ours to keep culture, the arts, and small businesses alive in our communities. Come see a preview of our new vision this Saturday.
