''Remix'' And ''Relief''

One hundred percent. That's how much Julien's will donate to charity next month. 

This is to be held on the first of February, and is called Juliens Musicares-Charity-Relief-Auction. So proceeds will go toward disaster relief, mental health services, and addiction recovery programs. 

The event takes place a couple of days after Mariah Carey is honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year. In fact, she has donated a Thunderbird convertible, used as a prop during her Las Vegas residency, among other items. 

More participants will be announced shortly. Meanwhile, Juliens Remix Auction features some unexpected items.

Richard Chamberlain, for instance, was best known as an actor, but he also created paintings. He was an art collector, too, with pieces ranging from a lava lamp-like glass vase to a Salish carved frog mask.

Other options include a faux fur coat worn by actress Jean Kasem (the widow of radio personality Casey Kasem), a. guitar owned by the late Larry Hagman, and a crystal-encrusted headset used by Janet Jackson.

This auction of sports, music, and Hollywood memorabilia runs through the third of February.

Hippie Fest

Hippie Fest  is a music and arts festival for all ages. While not the same everywhere, attendees can generally expect to see bohemian vendor booths, tribute bands, drum circles, tie-dye activities, and a vintage car show.   The latter is to open all vehicles which fit the hippie theme. Categories include Most Artistic, Grooviest Paint Job, Best Photo-Op, and Most Psychedelic. The next festival will be held in Tipton, Indiana, on September 27 and 28. The  Seth Brown Duo  (Seth and his wife, Desiree) will be among the entertainers. Their specialty is ''country roots,'' a blend of folk, rock, and country music,and they perform original material along with some covers.  Desiree told the  Guide  this will be their first  Hippie Fest , and thinks both their attire and set list are ''very seventies.''  Another  Hippie Fest  follows in Salisbury, North Carolina, on October 25 and 26. Juggler  Clark Lewis  is performing here--...

40 Years On

Slash  is best known for his  Guns N' Roses  contributions. Yet he nearly wound up with  Poison . After a successful audition, he was called back twice. But  CC DeVille  got the job because of his high hairdo and heels. That's according to  Martin Popoff 's celebration of the Gunners' 40th anniversary.  Another interesting part of  Guns N Roses at 40  concerns  Arnold   Schwarzeneg ger .  You Could Be Mine  was used in  Terminator 2:   Judgment Day  after Arnold invited the band over for dinner to ''seal the deal.''  It is surprising that  Stephanie Seymour  isn't mentioned once. Besides appearing in the videos for  Don't Cry  and  November Rain , she had a relationship with  Axl Rose  (other former flames are cited).  When it comes to concerts and recordings, the writer is far more expansive. While strange to see descriptions like ''Easter egg narrative'' an...

Glowing in San Francisco

Let's Glow  is America's largest projection event, and the San Francisco iteration will feature 19 artists from around the globe. One is  Jacob Stephens , who turns the buildings into gingerbread houses with his projections. It's meant to create a sense of warmth. On the other hand, quite a few of the participants have been inspired by winter, so will offer frosty illusions. There are even half a dozen interactive icebergs which play music. Another attraction is called  Electric Dandelions . These giant steel and acrylic sculptures look like flowers during the day. However, as the sun sets, they transform into an ever-changing fireworks display. The shows, from 5:30-10:00 p.m., run from December 5-14.  Visit  LET’S GLOW SF   for details.
