"FAETOPIA FESTIVAL" BRINGS ARTS + ECOLOGY
TO VACANT TOWER RECORDS STOREFRONT

WHAT:
Prepare for a wildly unique arts and ecology experience at the
long-vacant Tower Records space at Market and Noe. Faetopia Festival
transforms an empty storefront into visions of the future utopias we can
create versus the dystopias that surround us today.
Featuring local artistry, an EcoHomo ecology center, performance art,
cuddle cinema and workshops throughout the week, Faetopia redefines
how space can be used to grow our community.


Events kick off with "Dystopia Day' on Sunday June 20th. Experience a
crude awakening to our oil addiction then learn about actions you can
take and local organizations working to reduce our energy dependence.
Watch muscled boys slip and slide with Oil Slick Wrestling, a
fundraiser for Gulf Coast organizations working to rescue wildlife
affected by the Deepwater oil spill.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

-----> A theatrical revival of Science Fiction cult classic "ALIENS
CUT MY HAIR", a film shot locally in San Francisco during the 1990s,

famed local performers Suppositori Spelling, Veronica Klaus, Elvis
Herselvis, Artist Malcolm Drake, Serendipity Jones, Veda de Voe,
Duplicity Dilemma and many others.

-----> Workshops all week ranging from "Rethinking Urban Gardening"
