that's my boy-revisited

my son is the dude in the lower right corner, with the giant sideburns. this was taken recently, at a show he was attending with his friends. the smiles tell the story.

tonight, he and his band are on the bill at gilman street, in berkeley. this is the club where bands such as green day, rancid, and operation ivy got their start. i have included a bit of information below, about the club. i am really proud and excited for him, though he is quick to play it down.

all of my kids love music. it's a huge part of their lives. i can't imagine how that happened...!


the 924 Gilman Street Project a.k.a the 'Alternative Music Foundation', is an all-ages, non-profit, collectively organized music and performance venue. We do shows on Fridays, Saturdays, and occasionally on Sundays. It is located in North Berkeley, about 1 1/2 miles from the North Berkeley BART station, at the corner of 8th St. and Gilman. All shows are $5, with a $2 membership that is good for a year. Starting September 1st 2004, all shows will be $7 or less, while membership remains $2 per year. We strive to provide a violence, alcohol and drug-free environment. We will not book or support racist, misogynist, or homophobic bands or performances.

The Gilman Book Is Out! It's entitled "924 Gilman: The Story So Far." Compiled by Brian Edge and published by MAXIMUMROCKNROLL, it is available here at the club during shows for $15, or you can mailorder it $20 ppd in the USA, $25 ppd to the World.
