Anticon's 2 Night Dax Pierson Benefit
Fri, Aug 5 - Sat, Aug 6
8:30pm
$12 + up
On February 24th, 2005, while touring with the band Subtle, our good
friend Dax Pierson of 13 & God and Themselves was severely injured in
a car accident near Atlantic, Iowa. The force of this accident
shattered his C5 vertebrae, located at the base of his neck. At this
point he is paralyzed from the chest down with some movement on one
side of his upper body. Luckily, Dax does have health insurance, but
it doesn't begin to cover all the costs that he will require. With
the help of Dax's friends, we have been able to raise a considerable
amount of money, but we still have a long way to go!
Please come out to Bottom of the HIll on August 5th & 6th to support
Dax. He is an essential member of the anticon family and the entire
Bay Area community. He has been involved with dozens of Bay Area
bands, been a long time DJ at KALX, and is well known as the longest
standing, nicest, most well-informed used-buyer at Amoeba-Berkeley!
You can help simply by coming out to hear some amazing music put on
by some of Dax's closest friends.
All proceeds will go toward the Dax Pierson Recovery Fund.
