Thanks for the booking, we are looking forward to being on your show. We do need directions. And a copy of any questions you may ask.

hi! This is Frank. First I do the interview impromptu. So nobody knows what I will ask. So if the boys are uncomfortable with that, we should not do the show. If they are comfortable with that, how much set up time do they need?

Its not that The Taylor Boys are uncomfortable, their management is. Being it is impromptu, we would prefer a more structured interview. At this time we will have to decline the opportunity.

Thank you for your support.

We are from the same generation, I think exactly like you 😀 😉

ah, yes, Gi! But then great minds think alike no matter how old!

If you ever come to San Francisco, I want you on my show!

Last night I did a rather intense show about the killing of Oscar Grant by the BART cops. We had two black Nation of Islam minsters and an ex- black panther as well as other community members.

hi frank

here’s the email i got from kpfa firing me from being a volunteer! the basic story is that i was a volunteer there one day last spring and took some food home from the station. both my roommate and i got food poisoning from the food i brought home and i emailed the owner of the restaurant where the food was from and asked him if he used any artifical ingredients , taste enhancers or any msg like substances in his food. i always know the reactions of my body from certain chemicals since i’ve been on a fasting/cleansing journey for several years now. my body never lies.. anyway, the restaurant owner had a real bullshit style of communicating and insisted that all his ingredients were of a ‘pure, top quality, natural and organic source’, though i knew this to be untrue. he was boldy lying and i called him on his insincerity , but told him i would NOT post any negative comments about his restaurant in a public forum such as yelp or other consumer blogs, because he was a small establishment, supporter of public radio, and the big chain restaurants get away with the same type of poisonous taste enhancers without bad publicity, though i was upset that his food made me sick, i still made that promise. anyway, shortly after, i got this email from kpfa…….

Hello Ava–

I find myself in the unfortunate position of having to tell you that you are no longer welcome to volunteer at KPFA. Your aggression towards an establishment that kindly donates food to
volunteers and staff during fund raising periods is/was uncalled for. Regardless of your personal feelings there is no place for this sort of behavior in an environment of mutual support.

POW! POW! Action Art festival 2009

2nd annual mini performance art festival

Produced and curated by Alyssa Lee and gal*in_dog AKA Guillermo Galindo

Featuring performance and installations by artists from around the world

October 15-18, 2009

The Climate Theater – 285 9th Street San Francisco, CA 94103

8pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

$12 in advance, $15 at door – 4-day festival pass $30

Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/77223

(SAN FRANCISCO – October 15-18, 2009) – POW! POW! ACTION Art festival 2009 is a 4 evening festival of new ACTION art works that will take place on Thursday October 15th, Friday October 16th, Saturday October 17th, and Sunday October 18th. Co-curated and produced by Alyssa Lee of group A and gal*in_dog AKA Guillermo Galindo, POW! POW! displays “cutting-edgy” work of performers and artists from the Bay Area, New York, Seattle, Philadelphia, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Canada, and Germany.

” The ultimate artists response to the economic melt down…A tax payer/GOP friendly festival. No one penny of tax money ever used to produce it”. –POW! POW!

Translation = ” Real freedom of expression. No strings attached.”

One of the few uncensored festivals in the US, POW! POW! is presented as a response to the ways in which the art scene is managed in the Bay Area and the United States and to the bailout of “too big to fail” arts organizations. Artists have been forced to follow certain aesthetics in order to have their work presented in a gallery or a festival and obligated to create a specific type of work that follows the fiscal sponsor’s agenda. Thus, the sponsor gets either to censor the artist or to adapt the art to fit the organization’s specific agenda. The curators of POW! POW! devised a festival where the artist is encouraged to present work without restrictions.

The previous year’s festival, POW! 2008 mini performance art festival was a huge success, generating excitement for performance art and for uncensored expression from artists. This year’s POW! POW! has quadrupled in size and will be even more shocking!

Among many outrageous artists, POW! POW! 2009 will feature daring and controversial performers such as Frank Moore, Keith Hennessey, Michael Namkung, and many others. The content of these shameless pieces are all over the map, ranging from works about volcanic eruptions, underwater explorations of performative hygiene, photographs of souls, wearable art pieces, first dates, electro-mechanical soft sculptures, absurdist hip hop performances, art critiques, interactive video installations, Japanese-American Internment camps, and the ironic and sometimes brutal ideals we teach our children that we consider acceptable.

MISSION STATEMENT

POW! was founded by Kattt Atchley (formerly Kattt Sammon), Alyssa Lee, and gal*in_dog to promote action art. The first POW! was held in March 2008 in San Francisco. The festival was formerly called POW! mini performance art festival, but over time it became clear that what this festival aims to do is to produce and present ACTION art, so the curators/directors changed the name of the festival to POW! ACTION art festival. Each year the curators will add a POW! to the name, hopefully making the 10th POW! ACTION art festival read as POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! ACTION art festival. Or, POW! to the 10th power ACTION art festival.

The POW! POW! festival is not only original in its aesthetics but also in its grass roots community organized model, which is very different from the top down model that has been applied to the arts through Art Organizations over the last 20 years. POW! POW! Is a viable alternative to other conventional performance art festivals and venues. POW! POW! is an invitation to play and experiment new and controversial ideas in front of an audience. The festival is a long time project that creates a community establishing partnerships between artists who believe their performance art doesn’t belong to any pre-established categories.

Subject: Amazing People…I fuckin’ love those kind!

Thank you so much for having us over! It was great to meet you, Linda & Mikey. I have to admit, I was afraid that Jon & I might be too boring for your show…but from the outset, we both felt like we were just having a conversation with new friends. That’s a pretty wonderful way to feel. We walked away smiling from ear to ear and truly look forward to another
conversation with you (plural). I think we will all have more to say to one another, and I promise I won’t edit myself next time!

Jon ate the whole cupcake last night because he was starving. Tell (Janet?) it was delicious! I’m finally making the strawberry rhubarb pie tonight – but I have to finish painting the bedroom first. I love painting…even if it’s just a wall or a ceiling…it lets your mind wander, y’know?

Warmly,
Barb

shucks, barb! That is my job on the show … To make people feel like they can talk deeply about life. That never is boring!

unedited barb… Now that sounds exciting !

Re: A NEW SHOW ON HTTP://WWW.LUVER.COM!

Frank,

I’ve been on a pretty transformative trip lately… a lot of chaos in the air… so I have changed the setup of my show once again.

I’m still doing a version of The Rampler on WFMU, but for the Internet, I have switched over to “The Overnightscape Underground”. My new philosophy is to treat it less as a “show” and more of a “casual audio place”… but the bottom line is, the recordings are very similar to The Rampler…

http://onsug.com

There is some varied audio stuff in there, but the tracks that start with “ug” (like “ug: System 9”), starting this month, are the ones that are continuing in the tradition of The Overnightscape and The Rampler.

Anyways, just figured I would let you know…

Thanks,
Frank

that also has been my philosophy, Frank!

i agree, kpfa sucks!

i was surprised how lousy it was when i moved up here and expected something similar to LA’s KPFK, which is WAY better than the sleepy yuppie non-sense of kpfa. plus, they banned me from being a volunteer at the station! how’s that for ‘community, progressive’, uh, um, public radio?…

* * * * *

yep, over the years KPFA has tried [unsuccessfully] to force LUVER from events we both were covering.

Also it has a “self-censorship ” policy on late night shows even when legally you can say anything at that time of night.

So why did they bar you from volunteering, Ava?
