  • Come to the Anti-Wrecking Ball, August 27th

    See photos of the event!

    Our quest to clarify St. Louis City preservation laws – and assure that those laws apply to everyone – continues.   As we move this legal argument to the Missouri Court of Appeals, our tenacious lawyers need to get paid.   So we’re putting on a show to raise money.

    Why We Continue

    And here are the wonderful folks joining us on this fundraising journey:

    anti-wrecking-ball-bands

    Off Broadway (thanks to Kit Kellison for supporting the effort and donating the club for the night) opens its doors at 7:30, and it all begins at 8 PM with Elle Adorabelle and Greta Garter performing before and after each band set.

    anti-wrecking-ball-burlesque

    Leadville kicks off the music, followed by The Red-Headed Strangers and Rough Shop.  While the stage is popping, enter a raffle to win from a fine selection of  StL – Style merchandise.

    It’s $10 at the door, and every cent collected that night goes to the Friends of the San Luis, LLC legal fund.

    We would much rather you come and party in person, but if you can’t and still support the effort, we gratefully accept donations through Pay Pal.
