Hello to all of my friends and supporters of my successful campaign for Berkeley Rent Board last November-

*** Punk Rock Storytelling @ the On Broadway Monday!
*** Kicking it KALX style with Frank Moore!

*** Punk Rock Storytelling @ the On Broadway Monday 10/12!

The new book “Gimme Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless History of Bay Area Punk from Dead Kennedys to Green Day” is out & features hundreds of locals talking about, well, everything from the Fab Mab/On Broadway to 924 Gilman and beyond. There’s half-a-dozen local events celebrating its release (including an ace Gilman show on the 17th). Here’s the one I’m taking part in- it should be a blast! Come on by & say hi!

It’s a LITQUAKE story-telling event at the On Broadway this Monday night, and features music by the Avengers’ Penelope Houston!

Storytellers include Lynn Breedlove (Tribe 8), Anna Joy Springer (Sister Spit, Cypher in the Snow), Bucky Sinister (Gilman spoken-word), Oran Canfield (the Farm), Rozz Rezabek (Negative Trend), Jesse Luscious (Blatz, the Gr’ups), John Geek (Fleshies, Triclops!), Chicken John (Circus Redickuless), Kareim McKnight (Barrington/Cloyne), Johnny Strike (Crime), and Hank Rank (Crime).
