conspiracy theory

Right now listening to Jello Biafra and V. Vale at 924 Gilman.

It's a real trip to be in the same room as Jello Biafra. He sounds so much like Jello Biafra, it's eerie.

Both Vale and Biafra are still so grassroots, it's astounding. Really FFFin' fantastic actually.

Vale came in with a box of RE/Search and his OWN tablecloth. I loved that. If you ever do any kind of pamphleteering or promotion you'd understand that your own tablecloth means you are ready for anything. I bought the Modern Pagans book. It's got a recent profile of Genesis P-Orridge.



























The night was a real recharge. Really small crowd. Mainly kids into the punk scene c.2008. Jello did some great rants in all his voices.

Jello says:

Don't hate the media: be the media.

We all believe what we want to believe.


About kids on the internet and self-publishing -- You don't exist unless you advertise yourself [and I'm not sure that's good]. That creeps me out.

He wants to "spread some positive disease."

Doing something is better than nothing.

About alternative culture disseminated through mainstream outlets -- Tomorrow's weird people or shitsters need to find the thing that will change their lives.

This evening was some real lo-fi, D.I.Y. sh*t that reminds me of the youthful energy that's got me to where I'm at on this planet. Very fulfilling. Glad to be here now.

The event was to support the Green Party slate for the Rent Stabilization Board in Berkeley. My invite came from Jesse "D.J. Luscious" Townley. Run, Jesse, run.

I can't believe you already posted your report plus the photos. Thank you so much. Amazing. Keep in touch. If you're ever in San Francisco, please stop by!
All Best,
V. Vale

BREAKING NEWS: USC to Absorb HUC in LA?

This just in from "The God Blog." A source told Jewish Journal editor-in-chief Rob Eshman that the University of Southern California and Hebrew Union College-Jewish institute of Religion, which already share some faculty and facilities, are working on a deal to fold the L.A. campus into USC as a Jewish studies program. “Its a win win,“ the source said. “HUC gets a big chunk of money for what it owns—about a block of prime real estate by the USC campus—and USC gets to solidify a Jewish studies and outreach program that it has been building for some time now.“ Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles has been having big problems -- a consolidation of resources may present a novel and impactful solution. VERY INTERESTING.

A Year-end Letter Update from James and Family

Dear Friends and Family, On the brink of the new year on December 31, 2019 we stood at the foot of Kehinde Wiley's brand new monumental equestrian sculpture in downtown Richmond at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. There were a bunch of families gathered around taking pictures together. Emblematic of this entire year and entitled “ Rumors of War ,” the monument depicts an unarmed Black man in heroic pose atop a horse. The man’s sneakers are in the stirrups, looking back over their shoulder like Napoleon as they ride forward up a ridge . It was a strange harbinger of the year that was, and how it’s going. Kamala Harris will be named our vice president in a few weeks. In between, the apocalyptic has been commonplace; I mean, what a year. Emil started high school this fall. Graduation this past spring from Mark Day School was likely the year’s highlight. Karen is still at Mark Day. This fall they've been doing hybrid learning. It’s the first time Karen and Emil have not been goi
