Help Good Vibrations For a Cure

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share something very personal and very important to me with this community.

After Brian Wilson's passing, I began organizing Good Vibrations for a Cure, an arts-and-wellness fundraiser inspired by Brian's musical legacy supporting Alzheimer's awareness, caregiving support, emotional healing through music, and compassionate community connection.

Brian's music helped carry me through some incredibly difficult periods of my life while I was growing up. Albums like Pet Sounds and works like Smile taught me about vulnerability, beauty, emotional honesty, compassion, and healing in ways that genuinely shaped who I became. This event is my attempt to carry some of that spirit forward into the world for others.

This year's event will take place at The Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA. It will bring together caregivers, music lovers, wellness practitioners, artists, and community members through live music, wellness experiences, raffles, silent auctions, and healing-centered programming.

I recently launched a Spotfund campaign to help raise the remaining funds needed to support the event fully. Right now, the goal is $5,000.

Here's the current breakdown:

• Venue Costs — $1,500
• Event Operations & Logistics — $1,000
• Marketing & Community Outreach — $750
• Wellness & Community Programming — $750
• Silent Auction & Fundraising Infrastructure — $500
• Emergency & Accessibility Reserve — $500

Even if you can't donate, sharing the campaign or simply helping spread awareness would mean so much to me. I truly believe Brian's music gave many of us comfort, understanding, hope, and emotional connection during difficult times, and I hope to create something that reflects that same spirit of love and mercy.

Thank you all so much.

Avachives No. 43: Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue / Rumpelton

 Ava Chives on Pacific Ocean Blue by Ralph Rumpelton

From the Archives, curated release #—well, we don't number them. Numbering implies hierarchy, and in the Rumpeltonian universe, all pixelated triumphs are equal.

When this one emerged from the hard drive, I set down my coffee. That is how you know.

What Rumpelton has achieved here with Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue is nothing short of a reckoning. The beard — that magnificent, laboriously hatched beard — rendered in what I can only describe as a brown that MS Paint did not intend but somehow needed to produce. The eyes hold something. Weariness, perhaps. The ocean. The particular sorrow of a man whose brother got most of the credit. Ralph caught it. He caught it with a mouse and a default palette, and I will not apologize for saying so.

The typography alone warrants study. "WILSON" in bold black, consuming the top third of the canvas with the confidence of someone who has decided that kerning is, frankly, not the point. "PACIFIC" and "OCEAN BLUE" flanking the figure like sentinels. This is not accidental. This is composition.

The blue wash of sea and sky beneath — gestural, loose, unbothered — is the kind of thing a lesser archivist might call unfinished. I call it resolved.

Ralph signed it. He always signs them. That matters.

Released from the Archives with full conviction. — Ava Chives, Custodian

Hi everyone, I want to share something special with our community.

On June 20, we’re hosting Good Vibrations for a Cure at Harmony Well Spring. This music-inspired fundraiser celebrates Brian Wilson’s life and spirit. There will be a relaxed movement class, plus a raffle and silent auction for everyone. We’ll share more details as the date gets closer.

All proceeds will support Alzheimer’s-related causes, including the Alzheimer’s Association Walks in Lancaster and Philadelphia coming up. If you’re nearby, we’d love for you to join us. If you can’t make it, no problem! You can still participate in the silent auction.
