Last month’s party at Adobe was a smashing success, but there’s still more work that needs to be done! Fortunately, eclectic indie rockers The Dodos are headlining a benefit for the embattled bookstore that includes some other notable names:
Our Indiegogo campaign still has a long way to go (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/save-adobe-books). We have until March 15th to raise the remaining 25K. Thankfully a bunch of talented musician are friends of the store, and are joining forces for a benefit show this Monday at Public Works. Thanks to their generosity we have a real chance of making our goal, and creating a new Adobe that is everything we love about the old Adobe and more.

Hipsters read?
It’s always been hip to read and educate oneself. Many people helming the emerging Adobe Collective vary greatly in age, from teenagers to folks in their 50s. Can a 50 year old still be considered hip? Can someone who dresses stylishly in their 20s or 30s avoid being stereotyped as a “hispter?”
I ASK YOU, CAN WE BAND TOGETHER TO SAVE OUR CITY?
Part bookstore, part living room of the Mission, Adobe Books is being squeezed out by a landlord who wants to double the rent and bring in a needless, soulless, gentrified boutique. Help Adobe transition into a worker owned collective and continue for another 25 years!
The collective needs to find a way to buy their own building if they want to last for another 25 years. Commercial rents are only getting more expensive.
Well put Jean. It’s idiots like Mike who are the first to complain about yuppies taking over city. But he’ll never get off his ass and do anything about it. Keep up the good work.
This was fantastic.
