Tonight on Wednesday April 1st at 7 PM Ruthless Hippies & Bfd Shows are hosting a “cash mob” and silent auction at Ducky Waddle’s Emporium (414 N Coast hwy 101).
The idea is to fill the store with as much business as possible in one evening. The Duck, like most brick and mortar book stores these days, is struggling to keep its doors open.
In the face of lean economic times, owner Jerry Waddle’s space has become more vital to the local artistic community than ever. He has recently hosted art shows, poetry events, mini-music festivals, flea markets, all ages rock concerts, book signings, lectures, writing work shops and seminars.
In addition to the amazing wealth of books, art and cultural artifacts always on sale at the Duck, there will be a silent auction with pieces donated by some insanely talented artists who live locally and are known globally. Bid on pieces by Scrojo, Ale Garza, Scott Saw, Vanessa Lemen, Jim Babwe and more! In the theme of April Fools, Scrojo’s piece will be a “faux original” Leonardo DaVinci and Jim Babwe has donated a “faux original” Thomas Kinkade.
The auction will stay open into the following evening when Joyce Rooks performs an intimate concert as part of Taste of Leucadia (April 2nd) starting at 5:30 PM. See more info on Taste of Leucadia right here!
So come meet your fellow Duck Patrons. Enjoy music by DJ Mancat. Buy something nice and take the opportunity to bid on some great pieces of art.
The Duck also accepts donations of used books, records, art, tapes & DVD’s and will purchase or do consignment on certain valuable items.
Please invite your friends on this Facebook event page!
Also keep an eye out for an upcoming Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for Ducky Waddle’s to sustain this space that truly keeps Leucadia funky!
