See Dave Grohl’s Beer Bong & Hash Smuggling Diagrams To Raise Money For Charity

When Foo Fighters headlined the 2023 Sea.Hear.Now festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey in September, frontman Dave Grohl drew a pair of diagrams outlining how to make a beer bong and how to smuggle hash into a concert. The artwork is estimated to fetch over $11,000 at auction for local Asbury Park causes, as Consequence reported.

Co-produced by renowned rock photographer and Jersey Shore native Danny Clinch, Sea.Hear.Now’s charitable endeavors include raising funds for the Surfrider Foundation and Save the Bay. Clinch also organizes the charity auction featuring artwork created by festival performers. Read a statement from Danny from the auction website:

“Every year at Sea.Hear.Now, we collect art from musicians who are playing the festival to showcase and sell in our Transparent Clinch Gallery Pop Up Art Tent in order to raise money for local charities,” organizer Danny Clinch wrote in a statement on the auction page. “This year, I asked Dave Grohl to create some art for our cause. Dave was immediately excited about the opportunity and started throwing out some creative ideas. As the festival grew closer, I would text Dave to remind him that we would need to collect the art soon. Being one of the busiest people that I know, he arrived at the festival with a Sharpie and ready to make art. As we were looking for some poster board for his art, a runner came back with some ‘Prohibited Items’ corro board signage from the festival fences.”

As Clinch noted, Grohl drew up the diagrams backstage at Sea.Hear.Now and it didn’t take him long to whip up the hash smuggling and beer bong instructional graphics from memory.

“We used to make these diagrams for runners backstage at shows,” Dave said in a video as he created the beer bong diagram. “[We’d say] ‘go to Home Depot and get this shit.’ They would literally get it and screw it together before we played.”

“Wait till you see the one about how to smuggle hash in a cassette,” he added.
