The sheer joy you get from attending Jumpin’ Jive doesn’t even take account of the worthiness of the cause.
Stay Free! is more than the great magazine of the same name that Zinester runs on a shoestring. Stay Free! is also responsible for Illegal Art, a forum (and traveling exhibit) for showing artistic work that copyright holders have tried to suppress.
New York Times and Slate writer Rob Walker called it “an important project” and one of his favorite websites. It has brought to a wide audience the innovative and hilarious Harry Potter parody Wizard People, Dear Reader and the critically acclaimed but besieged-by-the-music-industry Grey Album from DJ Danger Mouse.
Support Stay Free! and artistic freedom at Southpaw (5th Ave. between Sterling and St. John’s in Park Slope) on January 25.
