It's a Charlie Brown Holiday Party
Amoeba San Francisco - December 6th @ 2:00pm
It’s a Charlie Brown Holiday Party at Amoeba SF! Kick off the holiday season with us on December 6th from 2pm-4pm and join the fun. We'll be spinning timeless Vince Guaraldi holiday classics, raffling off fabulous Peanuts™ prizes, and even holding a holiday sweater contest (so break out that beautifully ugly sweater Grandma sent you).
Plus, there will be a special visit from Snoopy, Woodstock, and Lee Mendelson Film Productions -- the producers and family behind these timeless classics! Pick up a special vinyl variant of A Charlie Brown Christmas, or another favorite Peanuts™ album that day, and get into the festive spirit with us! We will also have A Charlie Brown Christmas on DVD/Blu-ray available for sale.
Lee Mendelson Film Productions is a Bay Area-based production studio founded by producer Lee Mendelson in 1963. The studio is best known for the Peanuts animated film productions (including A Charlie Brown Christmas, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, A Boy Named Charlie Brown, and many others), Garfield, and other documentary and live productions. Lee’s favorite song was Vince Guaraldi’s “Cast Your Fate to the Wind,” which Lee was listening to while crossing the Golden Gate Bridge en route to his first meeting with Charles Schulz. Lee called up Vince (who was also a Bay Area native) and asked him to score the first Peanuts Television programs. The rest is history. Along with Bill Melendez (animator), Mendelson, Schulz, and Guaraldi worked together for the rest of their lives on Peanuts.
