BENEFIT FOR SICK KID @ ST MARKS CHURCH
7PM sharp/ $20 donation entry fee

May 18th 2008, at St. Mark's Church in New York City, marks an evening where
decades of experimental performers from around the world will gather to buoy
the spirits of their friend, 2-year-old Myat Moondog Haggart.

Confirmed acts include Captain Sons and Daughters (artist Kara Bohnenstiel
and Drew McDowall of Coil), Vito Acconci (delivering a 'textual
architecture' oration), Scott Haggart and Lary Seven performing DISKONO 017
(announcing the rebirth and continuation of legendary Scottish Dada-anarcho
record label DISKONO), David Grubbs (Squirrel Bait, Gastr Del Sol, myriad
solo projects collaborations and critical works), Backworld (World Serpent,
Current 93), Little Annie (CRASS, Coil, go-to chanteuse for 30 years plus)
and Paul Wallfisch (from BOTANICA), and DJs J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus, Steroid
Maximus, Manorexia) and Fabio Roberti (WFMU). Melissa Rocha will present a
puppet-filled animated short. Secret Project Robot projections.

This bill forms a roster of incessant voyagers, passionate collaborators,
true anarchists, and conscientious scholars. It is a festival-quality
roster, and a rich, beautiful roster: please graze the Internet for a moment
to see how deep these artists' creative roots run.

A door raffle and silent auction will take place on the sidelines: donations
thus far include a package of Coil and other record rarities, Vito Acconci
artwork, Michel Gondry drawing, Terry Richardson photography, Sebastian
Mlynarski photography, Todd Fisher photography, Mae Fatto photography, Rob
Hann photography, Robert Munn 3-D image, Little Annie painting, Andrea Aimi
painting, Shannon Lucy print, Dawn Breeze painting, Patricia Iglesias
painting, Cameron Michel collage, Arik Roper silkscreen print, Raul de
Nieves sculpture, Micki Pellerano drawing, Nanette Lepore clothing, Other
Music voucher, Beacon's Closet gift certificate, Bumble + Bumble haircuts,
Vashti Windish (Live with Animals) chocolates and many more.

Myat Moondog Haggart is a hilarious, pugnacious, beautiful and beloved child
beset by health problems relating to his brain that are proving very
difficult to diagnose. This event exists as a party for him as he begins
what may be a difficult journey to health, and as an immeasurably helpful
boost as his medical bills continue to mount. This is an event for punks,
nerds, parents, perverts, students, children, priests, pagans, ravers: an
event for everyone.
