black box is over

My band of the past 6 or 7 years (I really don't remember if it was 99 or 2000 when we started) is done. We are playing our last show on June 11th at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma. The show is a book release party for Flowers In The Sidewalk a book about a rather notorious punk house at 714 Humboldt in Santa Rosa. You should come out the show starts at 5pm, and Black Box's set could be one of the most socially uncomfortable experiences of your life. It's not often that one can witness a rock-n-roll meltdown 6 or 7 years in the making.

A day with 10,000 immigrants

The local daily gives the cop head count for today at 7,500. Typically I double the cop number, but today I'm amiable or they are only 2500 from honest. So let's call it 10,000.

I posted this over at indybay, and it'll have to do for now, cuz I'm pooped. I'll ramble more later about the organizing model, which I'd compare to the famous March on Washington.
