<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
Sean connected me to Shawn Magee and Amnesia 10 years ago, which led to my promoting there for 7+ years. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
I'm eternally grateful!</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
Sean & his music have been a part of that space for a long time, at tiny open mics to full house NYE parties.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
It feels right to have him serenade Amnesia with one more set of songs.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">

He moved to MN recently, so I am happy he is part of the show through his art.</div>

By the way, I haven't put on a show in over a year, and just decided I would love nothing more for my birthday than to see friends gather. So, I hope you can make it!</div>

Hi all, Here are my SF & CALIFORNIA VOTING RECOMMENDATIONS. </div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Please use what's useful, and pass them on if you want! (There's a whole guide at the bottom of this email.)</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Here's the facebook event link, for inviting people: https://www.facebook.com/events/328598944582501</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
*The BIGGEST one for me is <span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">YES ON C,</span> to tax corporations that make $50 million or more, which would provide up to <span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">$300 million for the homeless.</span> This $ would go toward ~4,000 homes for people in 8 years, more shelters, navigation centers, mental health services, and homeless prevention.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
There is a big fight happening around this, where Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is championing Yes on C, and even donating millions of $$s plus space in the Salesforce building for phonebanking for the campaign. He is vocally opposing the Mayor, London Breed, who - even though she ran her platform on helping the homeless - says she is against this proposition. She and Twitter/Square CEO Jack Dorsey are standing together on this, go figure. Jack's donated lots of $ opposing this proposition. Dorsey says he's opposing it partially because he wants to support London Breed (who wants to support Jack Dorsey and big biz, see how this goes). </div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
It seems Breed made a mistake though, as she now has Benioff to contend with... She apparently asked Benioff to write a big check for homeless services recently, and he told her (and also told CNN) No because she is against Prop C, and that IF she supported Prop C, she would have that $ and wouldn't even have to ask for it. Anyway, it's pretty amusing but also scary that the big business interests are scaring people away from voting Yes on this super easy way to raise $ for homeless services. For those who say there isn't a plan, go here and check out their plan: <a data-lynx-mode="origin" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ourcityourhomesf.org%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR20ntpirBkoSpyhzIUuyvWC4LdMPuvZNG_YAx3JURr479lVKRC1kkZOnTg&h=AT24vSGpIsziiGnpdX_8z0aPrcACdZzJ7CX3ATtRBry3WEMLTprhQacmdlk0FnEHW4lv8uqqg2cNB8WCgOzzLDApSEPp-UZGf5FlJq5Pv_G0Y-VAJKdJ6GM_I20_6Pm05meP8lO1" rel="noopener nofollow" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://www.ourcityourhomesf.org</a> If you have any doubts, please do get in touch. I'd love to talk! Please consider what's behind the fancy mailers saying that Mayor Breed herself doesn't have faith in the government's spending on homeless, even though she is the government, and the homeless spending is all accounted for. I've talked to folks who work at the Coalition on Homelessness, and they of course can share what's really going on.</div>

*If you happen to be in <span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">SF's District 6 (SOMA/tenderloin/treasure island), Please Vote for Matt Haney!</span> He's endorsed by Senator Kamala Harris, California Nurses, SF Teachers, SF Fire Fighters, the Tenants Union, and local artist activists Honey Mahogany and Nato Green. His opponents are running a 1-2 campaign, and are both backed by Mayor London Breed, which means we gotta spread the word on Matt more.

Below is <span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">THE KATE SLATE</span> write-up from my friend Kate McCarthy. I've used her recommendations for many years, and what I love is that I can also figure out whether I disagree from how she breaks it down. I'll include my notes below on a couple that I disagree with or am not sure about. Please send info on any that you're passionate about or have researched, if you want to add to the discussion. I welcome info and dialogue.</div>

Kate Slate (with my notes)- November 2018</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Hi again,
Here’s your Kate Slate for the November 2018 election for San Francisco and California. The goal of the Kate Slate is to encourage others to vote by sharing my cheat sheet. You probably won’t agree with me on everything, and that is okay! Just please vote on or before November 6, 2018.
Even if you don’t know your polling place, or where you were last registered to vote, or if you are registered, you can always go to City Hall on Election Day (November 6!) 7am-8pm to register and cast a provisional ballot. Though, if you can, it is always best to cast a live ballot at your polling place.
If you have an absentee ballot, you can surrender your absentee ballot for a live ballot at your polling place. This is what I usually do. The poll workers will destroy your absentee ballot and give you a live ballot. This assures you that your ballot is read and counted as you intended it. (ie. When you vote absentee, if a machine rejects your ballot, the machine depends on a human to interpret your absentee ballot. I am not trying to be all conspiracy-theorist here, but feeding your own ballot into the machine and hearing it beep is the best way to ensure your ballot is interpreted as you intend it to be.)
I write the Kate Slate race-by-race, issue-by-issue, and sometimes end up voting against something that seems right up my alley if it has some fatal (to me) flaw. I let you know if I think it does and why.
My opinions in the Kate Slate are my own, and in no way should be thought to represent any views of anyone other than myself. I have thoughtful engaging conversations with well-informed friends who sometime shed light on aspects I hadn’t considered, I get the tacky expensive mailers you get, and cool people like yourself send me others’ slates. I am not affiliated with any party.
When I voted the very first time, I found myself in the voting booth surprised that I didn’t understand the all issues or know all the candidates on the ballot. The next election, I studied the ballot and shared my notes with friends, bringing about the Kate Slate. These days the slate is preceded by a Slate Party I cohost with my pal Sacha Ielmorini. The Slate Party is a big informer of the Kate Slate, as is the <a data-lynx-mode="origin" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theleaguesf.org%2Fvoter_guides%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0HSY8YITGvKMDku18fzmE0lrsLrIriVXzKUggy5HIu88wRzkk5qMPJtTw&h=AT2SAYc0YsKlkl9L5cKLj6SQ9DF21v8FtjGN1x1ibdc-DyDf6iXuGlM1cQqJXK0ZzLG_UqgsnhdmcxzZfqxibZFSpwSJ5hyq6j4HeIbbBV2tVwOwYxppETizOzFfJ2InHCDvGyLr" rel="noopener nofollow" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">League of Pissed Off Voters</a> (thank you for your impeccably-researched guide), <a data-lynx-mode="origin" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spur.org%2Fvoter-guide%2Fsan-francisco-2018-11%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3b7tOb4LWLIAGJUnVVgegkd7CzlopNRgwkZ49sHEkQVKSndxMfXydudIo&h=AT30VEQCSEAldeV2aUn2C9OIhOmGckX-e5O3GwpBZ5Pgpa5NwKr8Dbn7NRG8x6wfjpPAkBTdFGvI93ewPH7NdvkNsuYOhqcHBEutVbSPAwJckBGBpEkRoB-xyyZNkvvfiPg2yc8zQEh60dcITxDBAg" rel="noopener nofollow" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">SPUR</a> (often disagree, yet informative), social media and coffee break chatter.

Now, the whole enchilada on why I am voting the way I am:</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Governor – Gavin Newsom</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
I am not a big fan of this politician who is more concerned with coif than substance. He is big on talk and not on action, so his role as lieutenant governor shooting spitballs at the federal government served him well. The agenda of his opponent is largely to repeal the gas tax (but I depend on roads and public transportation, so no thanks), so I gotta vote for Gavin Newsom. Ugh.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Lieutenant Governor – Eleni Kounalakis</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
I am happy that we have two Democrats to choose between in this race, but I don’t think highly of the lieutenant governor seat—not sure it does much more than break ties in the state legislature. And, both candidates seem pretty good. I broke my tie by reviewing their endorsements; I find I have more affinity with Kounalakis’s endorsers than Hernandez’s. It is a nice bonus that Kounalakis is a woman because I value diverse representation in government.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Secretary of State – Alex Padilla</span>
I was hoping to sweep the June Primary and win them all so I wouldn’t have to rewrite all these endorsements. Alas, we only won a few. Here’s what I said for the June Primary: I endorsed Alex Padilla in 2014 and he did well by us! So I am going to endorse him again so that he can continue taking very seriously his role overseeing our elections. I have been impressed how much he is doing to protect elections from meddling while also expanding voter access. He is doing good work that I’d like to see him continue doing.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Controller – Betty Yee</span>
Another June Primary write-up...and: Another candidate that I have endorsed before who continues to do good work that I’d like to see continue doing that work. </div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Treasurer – Fiona Ma</span>
Fiona Ma is a career politician who continues to get my vote more for her opponent in the election than her record.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Attorney General – Xavier Becerra</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
I continue to be impressed with Xavier Becerra, even since the June Primary, when I said: Xavier Becerra was appointed to Kamala Harris’s seat after she got elected to congress. And, he’s made us proud by defending our state’s rights against the evil Trump administration, so proud. I want Becerra to keep fighting the good fight.

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Insurance Commissioner – Ricardo Lara</span>
I had fun voting for Nathalie Hrizi in the June Primary for Insurance Commissioner as she wants to abolish insurance companies. But, now we’re at the general election and she’s not on this ballot to tempt us, so I’m picking the smiling Democrat rather than perennial candidate Steve Poizner.</div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Board of Equalization Member, District 2 – Malia Cohen</span>
I abstained voting in this race during the June Primary: the State Board of Equalization had most of its power stripped from it after an audit revealed much corruption internally, and because none of the candidates are people for whom I would vote, I chose to abstain. But, someone is going to win the seat, and I rather it be Malia Cohen than Mark Burns.</div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">United States Senate – Kevin de Leon</span>
I was so shocked and outraged that Dianne Feinstein wasn’t representing Californians against the Trump administration right from the beginning of his term that I was super fired-up during the June Primary to vote for Kevin de Leon. I said I was super proud of Kevin de Leon for standing up for California and defending our sanctuary state policy, and I am. But since the June Primary, I had the opportunity to review how he handled sexual harassment at his workplace and it seemed weak and palliative. And even as underwhelmed as I have become by de Leon, I am still so pissed at Feinstein for not representing us, California, her constituents, that I am not dignifying her candidacy with my vote, even though I am certain she will win.</div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">United States Representative – Nancy Pelosi</span></div>

I have abstained from voting for Pelosi in the past because she is the codification of big money in government. But the federal government is a scary government body right now and I am so freaked out I am voting safe this election.</div>

I was going to sit out this race this election because I think David Chiu should do more for San Francisco because lots of city issues are tied up by state policy and he could make real, tangible changes for the good of San Francisco, but so far not really. And now that he has come out against Prop C (see below) and I am just over him. Alejandro Fernandez won’t likely win, but he’s got some nice progressive ideas and he also supports Prop C.</div>

Should I be in his district, I had also been planning to recommend abstaining in this race for the same reason as District 17 above: we deserve better. There are so many city issues being tangled by state policy, from the housing crisis to innovative street design, and we need strong leaders representing San Francisco. And guess what?? Phil did better!! He passed us a policy allowing SF to tax ride-hailing companies’ annual revenue! And he provided the public easier access to law enforcement’s body cam footage! So I suggest voting for him! See how excited I get when elected leaders do good stuff?</div>

The judges are where I typically have to do the most research and come up with the smallest amount of info. This year I got most my help from <a data-lynx-mode="origin" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpolitics.voxpublica.org%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1BzgqMEQGo3tzkHGrKQHfQSs5DPktnl_xwohteAUEw3s35hCxUVDX67L8&h=AT2ugyQu33axSmM1g-LdEA6ZMzvnH4DMEg1x50w36DzaMIwBTH2aEr2dBCusbpHPCSUF9qltK7HRTS_Gfz_q3jF-Ig_Oy9mVoAhbMv5j-gkYf-zxlRbTsca8qd-ZPBEW7ed7RqxC" rel="noopener nofollow" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://politics.voxpublica.org/</a>. One thing to remember is that judges are typically appointed by governors/executive branch and then elected by unknowing voters. So, you can look up who appointed the judge and assert any inferences accordingly. Judicial elections don’t get the same attention as the rest of the polls get, and there is decidedly more insidiousness at play with serious consequences. If a judge were to lose a seat in an election (rare), the current governor would appoint a new justice. So, I think about the judge’s record and the chance that a new appointee would be worse, and make my choice.</div>

While it sounds like Corrigan may be the first lesbian to serve in the California Supreme Court, she also has the unfortunate distinction of having written not one, but two dissents to the Court’s finding that the California Constitution protected the right of gay people to marry. I am voting no.
</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Associate Justice of the Supreme Court – Leondra Kruger. yes</span></div>

Leondra Kruger was the court’s second youngest appointee after serving as an Obama official. Since 2014 her judicial record has been strong. And, she is a woman of color, a welcome presence in our courts.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Presiding Justice, Court of Appeal, District 1, Division 1 – James Humes. Yes</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Jim Humes was California’s first openly gay justice when he was appointed by Jerry Brown, who he worked for prior, including on Brown’s Prop 8 briefing stating why the state would not defend the anti-gay measure. I also hear he favors prosecutors, which isn’t great but most judges do.

I am a no on Margulies based on her record: ruled in favor of Uber and ruled in favor of expanding the circumstances that police could do blood draws on motorists without a warrant. Nope.
</div>

Richman is another I am voting “no” on based on him ruling against protecting public worker pensions.

I am voting no on Miller after she ruled against tenant protections via Ellis Act reforms for San Franciscans. She also supposedly made problematic efforts to protect the Governor’s office during the CPUC corruption issue.
</div>

While some credit Siggins for being one of the justices who ruled that California’s prisons are overcrowded to the point of human rights violations, I don’t endorse him because way back in 2010 I read a paper he wrote that said we all have to get used to increased government intrusion and invasion of privacy for the sake of national security. Ummm, no thanks, dude.

I’m a big yes for Jon Streeter who sued the federal government for holding immigrants without a chance of bail while in private practice.

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Associate Justice, Court of Appeal, District 1, Division 4 – Alison Tucher. Yes</span>
I’m also a big yes for Alison Tucher who got a person exonerated who was wrongfully convicted of murder after doing a ton of pro-bono work.

I am a yes on Barbara Jones who has a long celebrated career serving California. She ruled in favor of the Raiders’ Cheerleaders in a wage theft issue.

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Superintendent of Public Instruction – Tony K. Thurmond</span>
Thurmond is one of my favorite candidates on the ballot this election, and I said as much before the June Primary: Tony Thurmond has a long history of serving on the school board for Contra Costa County and the Richmond Youth Commission. Meanwhile, his competitor is a CEO who runs a corporate charter school company–no thanks! Vote Tony Thurmond.

For Community College Board, you vote no more than three, there are four running. Two incumbents, John Rizzo and Thea Selby, are true champions of the institution for helping City College weather the accreditation storm that seemed like it was going to nearly sink the school for years. Incumbent Davila has lost my faith due to recent ethics complaints and her general mismanagement of her affairs.

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">BART Board, District 8 – Janice Li</span></div>

Sadly, I am not in BART District 8, so I won’t get to vote in this race. But, if you are so lucky to vote for this unicorn candidate, please do. What makes Janice Li so rare is that she both someone you feel great voting for (a queer woman of color who does amazing work in the community), and simply one of the best qualified people for the role (I count eight commissions and policy bodies she has been on since 2014). She is one of the hardest working transportation advocates making our systems more equitable and safe. She quite literally walks the talk and has been doing so for years. Vote Janice Li for BART Board District 8.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Member, Board of Education – Alison Collins, Faauuga Moliga, Gabriela Lopez</span></div>

For Board of Education you can vote for no more than three. And the race is stacked with compelling candidates. Too many. I researched others who also seem good, Li Miao Lovett, Lex Leifheit, Martin Rawlings-Fein, to name a few. But Alison Colins, Faauuga Moliga and Gabriela Lopez are the standouts for me. </div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Collins and Moliga have been working within the school system already; Collins as part of the district’s African-American Parent Advisory Council, and Moliga at both the district and school levels, where he works on systemic change for the benefit of Pacific Islander students and providing services for students impacted by violence in their neighborhoods. </div>

Gabriela Lopez is a bilingual elementary teacher in SFUSD (the only candidate who is a teacher) and would be the first Latina on the school board in 20 years. I am psyched to vote for these three candidates, and I am gratified so many talented candidates are ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work for San Francisco students.</div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Proposition 1 - Authorizes bonds to fund specified housing assistance programs. YES</span>
News flash! California is in a housing crisis. This authorizing of bonds for veterans housing and affordable housing will not solve California’s housing problems, but it will help. Vote yes.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Proposition 2 - Authorizes bonds to fund existing housing program for individuals with mental illness. Yes</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Another yes to authorize even more bonds for housing, this time for people with mental illness. There has been some grumbling about taking money from a fund that provides direct services for people with mental illness to provide housing for people with mental illness. But, housing is a basic human need, so I think that this is an appropriate use for the funds.

I have debated this one back and forth and back again. It is SO HUGE. $8.877 billon! It authorizes bonds for massive water projects that are necessary to maintain our crumbling water infrastructure. It is just the sort of thing a legislature should be working on funding by engaging experts and stakeholders and making tough decisions and passing several pieces of legislation. Or not. Seems like our legislators just passed it off to us voters in one big fat controversial ballot initiative that seems to address vital water infrastructure needs while leaving no one happy. </div>

But the problem is our infrastructure is actually crumbling! Remember when we thought the Oroville Dam was gonna burst?? Yeahhhhhh. So: Time is of the essence. I don’t think we can count on the existing legislature to do their job since they punted this to us voters. Let the opponents on the various sides of the various issues of this prop duke it out in court after this passes. It’s not a good answer, but it’s an answer.</div>

I know the optics aren’t great here, but let’s not fund the building of private hospitals with bonds that accrue interest at taxpayers’ expense. Isn’t government funding spread too thin?</div>

This is bad. The Legislative Analyst’s Office found that, if passed, this would initially cost local governments and schools over $100 million/year, growing about $1 billion/year after. It would do so by allowing homeowners to transfer their existing property tax base to a new property. Currently, when homeowners buy a new property of greater value than their existing property, their tax base increases. This change would benefit real estate investors without providing any new housing nor assisting first-time homebuyers at the expense of our schools and local governments. We literally cannot afford for this prop to pass.</div>

This is terrible. If you like bridges maintained, roads repaved, public buses and trains, perhaps the occasional sidewalk, then VOTE NO ON PROP 6. This would strip the state of $5 billion/year, San Francisco $60 million/year of transportation funding that voters just approved to dedicate to transportation projects in the June 2018 Primary! Voters just said we want to fund transportation projects! And worse, it requires the a voter supermajority to approve any future gas or vehicle tax, which is very difficult to achieve. </div>

I don’t understand why this would even be put on the ballot, other than a fundamental misunderstanding about how infrastructure is maintained and built: it’s about money. How are we supposed to pay for the infrastructure that gets us where we need to go? The impact this would have on transportation infrastructure, both city and state-owned would simply be devastating. Vote no, tell your friends to vote no, tell your family to vote no.

From my friend Heidi-Jane who is against it:
I'm upset that everyone is mindlessly voting 'yes' to get rid of Daylight Savings Time!!! This idea that there is a 'vague' chance that we can get it all year...well? Voting against [daylight saving time] is moving in the wrong direction. I covet those extra summer hours of lightness...light is very important to me (I know early risers see it in reverse, but I'm speaking for the night owls, the musicians and taxi cab drivers and who knows who else!)...I think it makes no sense to kill the extra hour of sunlight in the hopes of getting it back more permanently. Let's just say a big fat NO NO NO to getting rid of Daylight Savings Time and then put a proposition on the ballot to keep it all year next time!!! (C'mon, is it THAT hard for people to go to bed a little earlier or later for a night? Have these people ever traveled?)</div>

From Kate who is for it: This one is vaguely interesting. If passed, it would allow California to petition the federal government to stay daylight savings time all the time. Full disclosure: I have experimented over the past couple years NOT adjusting my sleep schedule to standard time, giving myself a bonus hour in the mornings to exercise, read, cook, etc. And, I liked not having the couple of weeks of adjustment to the new time. I am voting yes.</div>

This gives cities and counties the ability to expand and/or modernize rent control. Currently the state severely restricts rent control at the expense of its most vulnerable populations. In this scary housing crisis, our ability to maintain housing requires having stable rent. All the arguments against this prop are greed-based, favoring the rich at the expense of the poor. I call bullshit. Housing is a human right. Vote yes, vote loud and proud, and encourage your neighbors to vote yes, too.

This was put on the ballot by private ambulance companies after they were sued for violating state law regarding workers’ break rights.

I am a pretty soft “no” on this, but still no. It is nonbinding, and is good because it sets guidelines for data collection for SF. But, since data collection is an international business, the benefits of this prop, implemented at just the city level would be minimal at best. And, frankly this could be implemented by the Board of Supervisors on any given Tuesday without a ballot initiative. </div>

But also hidden in here somewhere is that this would allow the Board of Supervisors to make changes to the Sunshine Ordinance, now required by ballot. It seems shady (ha) that the Proposition as it appears on the ballot only mentions privacy guidelines and doesn’t mention that it would allow changes to the Sunshine Ordinance. And, the needed changes to the Sunshine Ordinance I’ve seen by this Prop’s proponents are uncontroversial and would likely be easily passed by voters should the changes be put on a ballot. For now, I vote no.

There are 10 points to the plan, there are charts, there are graphs. And, don’t let anyone tell you the mayor has to do it herself and she doesn’t like it: the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development is one of three city agencies to which funding will be allocated (Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing and the Department of Public Health being the other two), and it will be the office’s staff doing the work, not the mayor herself. Since the Mayor has said she is committed to addressing homelessness, it seems solid. And do not tell me that this is too hard for San Francisco businesses or would repel businesses: Corporations earning more than $50 million in gross receipts can definitely afford a half penny per dollar to help address homelessness. If they are too greedy to address the problem on their doorstep they don’t deserve to be here. </div>

This is a ridiculous and unfair sales tax because: weed, dude. I am supportive of taxing weed, but this allows an additional tax of 1-5% and could be changed to 7% by the Board of Supervisors. That is nuts. Sure, tax it, but tax it relative to other taxes. This tax seems really outsized, so I am voting no.

Do you remember Prop S in 2016? It was a better version of this. But the backers of S have brought us C and E in this election and I am here for both. Currently hotel taxes go to San Francisco’s general fund. When the hotel tax was initially established in 1961, it was to woo tourists with cultural facilities. But, it was amended over time to eventually fund the general fund and the Moscone Center. If approved, this would allocate 1.5% of the 8% hotel tax back to arts and culture. The rest stays in the general fund. VOTE YES.

Carmen Chu’s political career is a story of political appointments and incumbent elections. And, here is another incumbent election for her, except it is in a race against a property tax nerd who wants to address a major flaw in the existing system: accountability. She’s been fine, but he’d be great and that’s how my vote goes.

While I align politically most with Josefowitz of the D2 candidates, I take issue with how we throws around his money to get what he wants. It is just icky. Even if we agree that bikeshare should be citywide. But I don’t have another candidate I like better. Sorry, District 2.</div>

On the other hand Matt Haney is great. He’s got a solid record of championing community issues from the School Board. He has the support of the breadth of the political spectrum, from establishment players like Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party to Alicia Garza and SF Rising. His district has caught the brunt of development and is ground zero for the crisis of addiction and homelessness. We need a supervisor who will tackle problems with compassion and courage, and not assume every problem can be solved with more police.”</div>

If you don’t know Matt let’s start with the fact that he is an eviction defense attorney who is currently serving on the SF School Board and lives in the Tenderloin. His history, resume, and list of endorsements are truly impressive and demonstrate how much he cares about our community. Matt dedicated his life to community service and working on effective solutions to many of our city’s most pressing problems. If that weren’t enough he is also a huge supporter of the LGBT community and actually does walk the walk. Unfortunately, his opponents have teamed up against him, and with the help of over $500,000 of dark money and a $100,000 donation from the Police Officers Association, they have a chance of robbing progressives of this seat. Matt’s campaign is made up of his family, people who believe in him and his record, and those he has personally helped during his many years of public service. He has been endorsed by Kamala Harris, Mark Leno, Tom Ammiano, current D6 Supervisor Jane Kim, and a majority of Supervisors. He received the sole endorsement of the SFDCCC, the Harvey Milk Club, the League of Pissed of Voters, and has been endorsed by almost every union including: nurses, firefighters, teachers.

Shamann has been excellent on the School Board and has proven to be a strong ally to the LGBT community. He has worked hard to provide jobs in D10 working closely with organizations like Young Community Developers to empower the Bayviews next generation of leaders. He has strong, well thought out ideas and platforms, a proven track-record, and also if elected, will likely be the only African American on the Board of Supervisors. If all of that doesn’t convince you, his list of endorsements is enormous and bridges the progressive/moderate spectrum. Shamann is sole endorsed by the SFDCCC and endorsed by both the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club and Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club.”</div>

Shamann Walton has been on the School Board and the unions that had to deal with him in that capacity endorsed him. Even SF Rising’s coalition of working class community of color organizations endorsed him. I haven’t agreed with every policy position he’s ever had. For example, he supported Proposition O in 2016, to lift the cap from the 1980s on office construction so that Lennar could accelerate construction in the shipyard. While I disagree with the position, a lot of other people I like also supported Prop O, because they wanted the shipyard development to be successful. This is a disagreement that I can have with someone and stay on the same side. On the other hand, supporting a black guy with a base in the district with a decent track record of actual work is the right thing to do. Tony is a good progressive and I like him. The DSA supports him. Either one of them would be an improvement. But progressives in San Francisco have been criticized, sometimes rightly and sometimes wrongly, for not promoting people of color in leadership and this is a district race where we have a chance to fix that."

<b>BUCK CURRAN (psych-folk)</b></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><span style="color: #363636; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">"Guitarist Buck Curran, has woven his way deep into the folk and psych-folk worlds over the past decade. He’s best known for his work with Arborea, but just as instrumental is his organizing of the compilation Leaves of Life which included Devendra Banhart, Marissa Nadler and Alela Diane, and two Robbie Basho tributes that have helped to shed light on the vital artist in the past few years. He’s also given new life to live Basho recordings via his imprint Obsolete Recordings this year. In 2016 he broke out from Arborea to play solo works, though they leaned harder on the psych than the folk element. On his second solo outing he fully embraces his acoustic</span><span class="m_-6873062832324014962m_4387822282745312697m_-929191780946548174gmail-bcTruncateMore" style="color: #363636; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> persona, drawing from a well of Takoma ‘60s and ‘70s inspirations, especially on the first side that plays out the full extent of the Afternoon Ragas referenced in the album’s title."<br /><br />"He blends the wandering psych troubadour influences and mournful guitar divinations with some electric rumble as the record ekes into the second side, and though Curran still pulls stark sadness from the strings he marries his fingerpicked heartache to a spectral blues form on “Taurus.” The clouds part on the wistful “Dirt Floor,” in no small part due to the lilting vocals from Adele Papparlardo. She injects bit of sun to the album’s largely overcast emotions, though it’s easy to see how someone invested in Basho’s legacy would run a thread of somber sincerity through their own works. A lovely collection for those interested in the aforementioned Takoma period or latter-day pickers like Chasney, Bishop or Rose. Curran’s crafted a record that easily slots itself on the shelf next to any of those three."<br />- Raven Sings The Blues </span></span><br />

Raised in a trailer park in the rural midwest near the Ohio River, Dill grew up surrounded by cornfields and grain silos going jug fishing and playing classical piano. Born to a touring singer/guitarist father, Dill was introduced to the music world at a young age. At 18, they won a piano scholarship that sent them to Berklee College of Music. Feeling uprooted and homesick as a transplant in Boston, <span class="m_-6873062832324014962m_4387822282745312697m_-929191780946548174gmail-il">Dillbilly</span> dropped out and went back to the Midwest to start a band with their high school friends. Over the past 20 years, they have been performing and touring across the U.S. and Canada releasing 9 full length albums as well as contributions to soundtracks for movies and TV under their birth name, Denise Dill. Most of those releases were self recorded and released. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2015, they renamed their musical self and chose a name that more accurately embodies where they come from, where they draw inspiration, who they collaborate with, and how they identify as a genderqueer person. Now, in the 2018, they are performing as a band and have teamed up with renowned musician and producer Julie Wolf to create their 10th full length record which will be released next year. </span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Brian's bio: Brian Belknap is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter in the mold of Lucinda Williams and Townes Van Zandt. His music— a rough blend of broke-down folk, junk-country blues, and gut-bucket gospel, rendered on accordion, slide guitar, and mandolin—is a product of the rich cultures of San Francisco and New Orleans, the two cities he calls home. Belknap’s latest offering, In Lieu of Flowers, once again finds him in the capable hands of producer Mike Coykendall (M. Ward, She & Him, Bright Eyes, Blitzen Trapper). The record is about coping with loss (both personal and collective), and finding redemption in a world in its own time of reckoning. Never one to shy away from darkness, his own or other people’s, Belknap’s songs not only tell stories, but are able to convey a level of subtlety, nuance, and compassion that is the province of someone who has been down a long and difficult road and has lived to tell the tale.</span></span></div>

THE BLANK TAPES is the moniker of Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist, Matt Adams, who has produced over a dozen albums of 1960’s inspired folk-rock-surf-psych-soul-pop on Volcom, Burger Records, Antenna Farm, Royal Oakie, White Noise, and others. Their latest album “Ojos Rojos” is out now in the USA, EU, & Brazil on vinyl/CD/cassette. Along with his band mates, The Blank Tapes have toured throughout America, Brazil (3x), Europe (5x), Canada, & Japan. Matt is also the artist behind his band’s posters & album covers. Matt thought of the "The Blank Tapes" after recording an album on a cassette 8 track recorder. Most or all of the musicians playing this show have played in The Blank Tapes over the past 15 years, so this show is a grand Bay Area reunion as well.</div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">
The Hollywood Hills-born daughter of a horror filmmaker and sister of a cult comedian, Foxtails front-girl Laura Weinbach grew up in a household that embraced eccentricity. Her next-door neighbors were circus contortionists with emus and fang-toothed monkeys as pets and her childhood activities included snail hunting and spying on celebrity neighbors like Slash, Ice-T, and Larry from Perfect Strangers. Laura’s upbringing is present everywhere in Foxtails Brigade, from the lyrical imagery to the hand-drawn artwork and sophomoric Instagram cartoons.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">
The band’s live show is a clockwork of junkyard beats, warped orchestral sonics, and Laura’s trademark voice and classical guitar intricacies with an A-List ensemble featuring performing members of Bright Eyes, Van Dyke Parks, and John Kale. The songs tackle subjects of substitute teaching in the Oakland and LA public school scenes, steak appreciation, and general unfairness awareness with a warped pop sensibility akin to influences like St. Vincent, Joanna Newsom, The Smiths, and Spoon.</div>

Each band has their own distinct sound (OGWT's got the psychedelic/noir/ethereal rock thing going on, while Surf Bored's described as Southern surf rock) and both will be giving their own unique treatment to songs that are pure 90s goodness, from artists ranging from Radiohead, to Garbage, to Desree. Costumes are strongly encouraged (extra points for those in the vein of the film!), and sides (Capulet v. Montague, you know it) will be chosen upon entry. Supporting acts are two artists that lived in the Bay Area not too long ago, and they’re making their way back on tour. We’re pleased to present the deeply soulful singer/songwriter </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jordannah Elizabeth</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, traveling from Baltimore, and folk artist </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jessi Adele</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and the Starling Curve, driving down from Portland.

<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Old Grey Whistle Test</span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is the pseudonym for the solo musical musings of San Francisco-based vocalist, songwriter, and frontwoman Tracey Holland. Described as something of a "beaker-full of Nancy Sinatra-noir, Linda Perhacs' psychedelia, Stevie Nicks-mysticism, and Kate Bush-esque power set to a score of Ennio Morricone", the resulting collection of songs on OGWT's debut, </span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ouroboros</span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, is a small treasure trove of richness. Both personal and cryptic,</span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ouroboros</span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is Holland's debut record as a solo artist (she's normally one-half of SF-based rock/soul outfit Vandella), released in May 2016 and celebrated accordingly with a sold-out staged funeral for a release show. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ouroboros</span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> revels in this same unshakable draw to the subtler, darker aspects of life which are explored intently throughout the album. The complexities of identity & intimacy, the dark corners of our own selves to be reconciled; breakdowns, messiness, and what it means to take ownership of - and ultimately stand in the power of - one's own demons, sexuality, and self; even the unseen, mysterious, and metaphysical are all dragged out and sifted through from a decidedly-feminist lens with an almost-defiant honesty at times. There’s an unmistakable potency and vulnerability to The Old Grey Whistle Test's sound that hovers between sounds & worlds: haunting, strange, and beautiful. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Surf Bored</span><span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> was conceived in the hot, sticky Athens, GA summer of 2013 out of a need for evolution and migration. Singer T.J. Mimbs sought a departure from the jangly, indie-pop tunes of his former band, </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.popmatters.com/review/157659-the-district-attorneysslowburner/&source=gmail&ust=1477788522814000&usg=AFQjCNGYr73ZZeu_a7QgupXLNnRrq7BDAA" href="http://www.popmatters.com/review/157659-the-district-attorneysslowburner/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The District Attorneys</span></a><span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, in favor of a looser, stouter style. After writing and recording demos for two songs that would eventually make it on to Surf Bored’s debut album, </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Rehearsal</span><span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, Mimbs discovered that hints of surf rock were creeping into the fold.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the fall of 2013, Mimbs relocated from the comfort of his Athens indie rock roots to the uncertain waters of the San Francisco Bay Area. Already knowing locals Daniel Blum (drums) and Jeremy Lyon (bass), both of the Tumbleweed Wanderers, Mimbs set about looking for guitarists keen on playing long and loud -- and quickly lit upon Avi Vinocur (Goodnight, Texas) and Chris Tye (Vandella).</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With all but Mimbs involved in other touring bands, Surf Bored congealed into a home base for each musician -- an outlet for experimentation, and a reminder of why they began playing music in the first place. Surf Bored is an avenue for escaping the harsh realities of adulthood -- a celebration of carelessness, however fleeting. Surf Bored stares life in the face and offers a sardonic smirk.</span></div>

On the new album "In Exile/On the Mesa" <b>Pete Fields</b> of the <b>Slow Motion Cowboys</b>
has written songs to try and put down the feeling of a place changing
before his eyes . Speaking the truth about the old neighborhoods and the
vanishing characters of the bands home town of San Francisco, the album
takes you on a tour with the folks who know it best. Written in
Field's new home of Oakland, CA and recorded live in an Airstream
trailer in Taos, New Mexico, the songs ride between the two worlds, and
lope with a rhythm that contradicts the fast changing world we live in
today. As the name might suggest, the Slow Motion Cowboys push back
against the money and technology disconnecting us from our communities
and the creative bonds that create a feeling of place. Songs such as
"Foggy Moon" and "Golden Gal" describe the wandering thoughts and
nostalgia of someone looking and longing for someone or something that
is not visible anymore, asking for a second chance to make it right. In
"Georgie" the traditional melody is layered with words sung only to the
sleeping, an admission of dedication and love that could never be said
during the light of day. On "In Exile/On the Mesa" SMC capture the
infectious energy and good will that has come to define their live
shows. The lap steel dances behind the wavering vocal melodies, the
rhythm section seizing the past with its traditional country music
tempos, showcasing the cohesion of musicians polished from extensive
touring throughout the South West U.S. The pertinence is clear
listening to the record, the Cowboys are inviting you to peek through
the key hole and open up a feeling that has come to define Pete's
songwriting. Bearing the torch from the bottom of the Bay to the tip of
the Mesa, these are country songs, story songs, desert shanties kicking
up the dust before it settles into something none of us recognize.</div>

<span style="color: black;"><b>EIGHT BELLES</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 21pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">Americana duo <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eight Belles</span> was
formed in 2010 when guitarist Henry Aloysius Nagle met
singer-songwriter Jessi Phillips at a backyard party in Oakland,
California. Eight Belles creates <span style="background-color: white;">inspired, subtle Americana music that pays </span>respects
to its influences but sounds like nothing but itself. If Harry Nilsson
and Patsy Cline had a love child and left it in the forest to be raised
by wolves, its cries would sound very similar to this music. </span></div>

Happy MLK Day. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year, the first Seaweed Sway show of 2015 is an attempt to give back to the music community, with a benefit show for someone who is indeed always doing for others, within our community and beyond.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I met Kyle Lesley right before he moved out of SF. He was diagnosed with stage four metastic melanoma and left to begin treatments in LA. Before he left, a grand benefit show at El Rio happened where many friends gathered, and some bands I knew well + some bands I never heard of played. I got a sense of Kyle's wide-ranging community and the love that surrounds him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm grateful to be getting to know Kyle now and the more I learn, the more I realize what an incredible person he is. Beyond being an awesome & kind human, he has donated his sound skills to many a good cause: Occupy SF & the Clarion Alley Mural Project, to name a couple, in addition to tirelessly running the sound at some of my fave places: Amnesia & Viracocha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hiya Swanhuyser wrote a beautiful piece in the SF Weekly about how Kyle is a music hero:<a href="http://www.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2015/01/12/music-heroes-kyle-lesley" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://www.sfweekly.com/<wbr></wbr>shookdown/2015/01/12/music-<wbr></wbr>heroes-kyle-lesley</a> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please read it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a quote from Kyle to give you a sense:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"I wanted to help cultivate this community that I really grew up obsessing over, reading books and magazines and watching documentaries, dreaming about it. And I realized that it wasn't just going to happen to me. I had to work. I had to get in there and meet people. I had to say 'Hey, I want to record you,' or I'll come and run sound for free, or let's organize this festival, I have access to this gear, a couple microphones, let's make it happen. I really wanted to be a part of the music culture of San Francisco. I realized it wasn't going to be given to me, just because I played guitar, or smiled, or wore the right clothes. I actually wanted to be this reliable, dependable, talented person. People knew that my heart was in the right place, and I wanted to work. I wasn't just going to ask for things. I wanted to prove that I could contribute."</span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jean of Future Twin says: "Kyle comes through huge and helps Clarion Alley Mural Project do our annual block party fundraiser, by lending a PA and running sound. He helped every year I asked him. He's a dope musician and engineer too! He helped Future Twin track some guitars at his studio."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Michael Musika says: "</span><span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;">Kyle's that dude that remembers to bring matches and knows where to find firewood and doesn't lord it over you. Being a musician for so long, I've seen my share of sound people-- you need a crucifix, jewelry, menagerie, and the Tibetan prayer for the dead to navigate. But Kyle's always been calm and prepared and collected, like lakes in mountains where no people go...which is a trick because music venues have lots of people and often the most distracting sorts... all of it while it's dark and late and behind time. His stop watch goes backwards if need be, with no more charm than old fashioned unassuming smile."</span></div>

<div>
working the door for a shift (hopefully an hour max if we get enough people),</div>

<div>
In other news: 1) Alemany Farm Herb Garden workday is tomorrow at 1pm. 2) Ronnie & I are embarking on a new project: compiling a mix of songs from local-ish artists that have non-GMO sentiment, inspired by Michael Hurley's idea. The details of all of this are below. 3) Looking for housing? Links at the end. 4) Going to Minnesota mid-month so hope to see you tonight or soon. Love, Jessie</div>

The group's repertoire also includes works by Bill Withers, Rufus Wainwright, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, and Roger Miller. </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span><span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Dear friends,<br /><br />Inspired by Michael Hurley's proposal to compile songs that are anti-GMO & anti-Monsanto, we would like to start making our own BAY AREA compilation of songs. These songs can be directly or non-directly related; since our food system relates to us in every facet of our lives, how does it directly link to our experience of living in the Bay Area's nine counties?<br /><br />We are still figuring out the details of how it will work, and right now are trying to gauge interest levels. We are hoping to raise awareness, locally foremost, and globally.<br /><br />If you would like to contribute a song, please get in touch. We realize that some folks may want to WRITE a song just for this purpose, and in that case, we'd love to know how long you would need, so we can factor that in as much as possible.<br /><br />We imagine it will go up on bandcamp at the very least, but we'd like to make some hard copies to hand out as well. We also imagine having a big party/benefit, and would like to involve different local organizations, so feel free to send us ideas of organizations and restaurants that do work around this. (Maybe these lists already exist somewhere; if so, even better, and we can add to them.)<br /><br />Please let us know if you would like to<br />a) help, in any way!<br />b) contribute a song! (is it an existing song or will you be writing a new one?)<br />c) know of a band/org/restaurant that you think we should contact<br /><br />Once we know who is interested, we will be in touch with next steps and song-sending instructions. We probably will ask to receive the songs via dropbox, in as big of a file format as possible (ideally a .wav or flac and not mp3). We'll also want to know the lyrics, any story or thoughts behind the song, and credits to musicians who played/ recording engineer/ studio/ etc. Plus a photo! & links!<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your ideas and contributions!<br />Jessie & Ronnie</span></span></div>

A song to honor: the mystery of timing, the art of love, the mystery of love, the art of timing. The orchestral sound of the "sweetly defiant" songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bevan Herbekian (formerly of the 21st Century, now going by the moniker Teenager). Look out for new songs each week. Bevan is doing a staggered one song a week release, leading up to the final album release, "The Magic of True Love". </div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Bevan was born on Halloween night in a tiny northern California town, where courtesy of the holiday, the first person he saw upon entering the world was Superman. He grew up the only child of ex-hippie parents who flooded him with an eclectic selection of classic albums, bootlegged John Peel Sessions and personalized mixtapes. It was a hand-me-down Nirvana cassette that jerked him out of childhood and compelled him to pick up the guitar and start a punk band. Since age 13, Bevan has been tirelessly writing songs, recording independent–and generally unheard–album after album, whilst forming and fronting numerous projects, from a Garage Rock power trio to an Americana Freak-Folk duo to a highly orchestrated Indie-Pop octet. After nearly a decade of playing out in the Bay Area, trying his luck in New York, and wandering around the world as twenty-somethings sometimes do, he found himself disenchanted with the lifestyle he had romanticized. This former scenester, who’d rather spend his weekends meticulously recording each instrument for his demos than going to bars, came home to write in part about what he found knocking about those city streets, but mostly about what he did not. His long-time coming and laboriously crafted LP <em style="background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Magic of True Love</em> crystallizes the experience of realizing it doesn’t all work out in the end and the struggle to find yourself in the fallout.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.7em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

It plays like a mixtape of Bevan’s musical loves. Ardent odes to the exuberance of youth are backed by larger than life distorted guitars and ethereal vocal harmonies. Melodic pop hooks of desire stand atop hand claps, fuzz bass and towering backbeats rhythms. There are intricately arranged ballads that move from confessional verse to soaring chorus into frenzied finale. And there are pared down laments kept on their feet by gentle acoustic guitar strums and light-handed piano chords. Binding all of this together is Bevan’s voice. As a singer, he is intimate yet versatile marrying his spirited, mellifluous vocal with soft, confessional tones and the occasional high-flying falsetto. As a writer, his lyrics are poetic and precise, weaving poignant imagery with a deeply personal history. His true nature comes through in this music – in fact this may be where Bevan is most authentic and free. Without affectation or persona, he gives you everything he’s got and you can feel it. With <em style="background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Magic of True Love</em>, Bevan tears pages from Rock legends, Folk wordsmiths and Motown masters, shuffles them and writes a new chapter. It is a big sound that is bold and ambitious, but one that a kid–delivered by Superman–would be willing to try.</div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px;">Oregon native Levi Strom has coined the term, “surf country”, to describe his blend of American roots music and West Coast <span>surf culture</span><span><span>. It’s also the title of his new record due out this summer on Vow Records. A mash of driving acoustic guitar, lush back up harmonies, and Levi's slightly off-key, heartfelt vocals make "Surf Country" a must download (and must hear live).</span></span></span></span></div>

<span><b><span style="font-size: medium;">LISTEN TO THIS SONG, Two Timing Machines, by Teenager (Bevan Herbekian):</span></b></span></div>

A song to honor: the mystery of timing, the art of love, the mystery of love, the art of timing. The orchestral sound of the "sweetly defiant" songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bevan Herbekian (formerly of the 21st Century, now going by the moniker Teenager). Look out for new songs each week. Bevan is doing a staggered one song a week release, leading up to the final album release, "The Magic of True Love". </div>

Bevan was born on Halloween night in a tiny northern California town, where courtesy of the holiday, the first person he saw upon entering the world was Superman. He grew up the only child of ex-hippie parents who flooded him with an eclectic selection of classic albums, bootlegged John Peel Sessions and personalized mixtapes. It was a hand-me-down Nirvana cassette that jerked him out of childhood and compelled him to pick up the guitar and start a punk band. Since age 13, Bevan has been tirelessly writing songs, recording independent–and generally unheard–album after album, whilst forming and fronting numerous projects, from a Garage Rock power trio to an Americana Freak-Folk duo to a highly orchestrated Indie-Pop octet. After nearly a decade of playing out in the Bay Area, trying his luck in New York, and wandering around the world as twenty-somethings sometimes do, he found himself disenchanted with the lifestyle he had romanticized. This former scenester, who’d rather spend his weekends meticulously recording each instrument for his demos than going to bars, came home to write in part about what he found knocking about those city streets, but mostly about what he did not. His long-time coming and laboriously crafted LP <em style="background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Magic of True Love</em> crystallizes the experience of realizing it doesn’t all work out in the end and the struggle to find yourself in the fallout.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.7em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Magic of True Love</em> bear hugs a ‘more is more’ philosophy while still managing to feel like listening in on someone’s most vulnerable prayers and doubts. It plays like a mixtape of Bevan’s musical loves. Ardent odes to the exuberance of youth are backed by larger than life distorted guitars and ethereal vocal harmonies. Melodic pop hooks of desire stand atop hand claps, fuzz bass and towering backbeats rhythms. There are intricately arranged ballads that move from confessional verse to soaring chorus into frenzied finale. And there are pared down laments kept on their feet by gentle acoustic guitar strums and light-handed piano chords. Binding all of this together is Bevan’s voice. As a singer, he is intimate yet versatile marrying his spirited, mellifluous vocal with soft, confessional tones and the occasional high-flying falsetto. As a writer, his lyrics are poetic and precise, weaving poignant imagery with a deeply personal history. His true nature comes through in this music – in fact this may be where Bevan is most authentic and free. Without affectation or persona, he gives you everything he’s got and you can feel it. With <em style="background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Magic of True Love</em>, Bevan tears pages from Rock legends, Folk wordsmiths and Motown masters, shuffles them and writes a new chapter. It is a big sound that is bold and ambitious, but one that a kid–delivered by Superman–would be willing to try.</div>

<div>
<span style="color: black;">I hope you will join me at these shows to celebrate!</span></div>

<b>I have a movie to share</b> that is a visual metaphor for the creation of this record and the fate of its artists.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A long time ago, when I was eleven years old, I finished third in a juggling contest at a soccer camp. I got beat by two brothers who came to the camp from Japan. Their names were Toshiaki and Katsiuki. My father teased me about it at the time and said I would never be able to beat them because they were too good. This annoyed me as he knew it would. Many years later my father asked me how I planned to promote a record I was working on. He said: “You’ve been working so diligently for such a long time. One day you need to make a dollar.” He suggested I get someone with a better voice and wider appeal to sing my songs, then looked in my direction tauntingly while listing several artists off the top of his head. I said “I’m not trying to wait for Rihanna and Jolie Holland and Peter, Paul and Mary or any of the rest of them. Alls I got to rely on is Eric and myself.” He said, “You’re a fool Michael."</div>

<div>
<span style="border-collapse: collapse;"><i><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border-collapse: collapse;">Here is my response. The movie is called “The Juggler” and you can watch/LISTEN here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhXRFi_9IOs&feature=share&list=UUB2P3_N8P9BihiqK1Jl0JFw" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">THE JUGGLER</a> </span></span></i></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span>also, Michael says he'll mail you a free vinyl if you tell him exactly how many times the fool juggles the ball consecutively. It was filmed at Golden Gate Park yesterday on the first try!!!!! <span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://youtu.be/DhXRFi_9IOs" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/<wbr></wbr>DhXRFi_9IOs</a></span></span></span></div>

<b><u>MUSIC</u></b></div>
<div>
There are many local artists with new albums & songs out. Get them for yourself and your friends! If you want ideas of artists, let me know. Here is a great artist, to start with...</div>
<div>

<div>
<b>SEAN HAYES</b><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> is an independent artist (puts out his own albums), and so your support helps keep the music going, really. He</span> is currently releasing one song at a time instead of an album, to get the songs out there faster, so you can support by purchasing the new song, going to upcoming shows, or buying the bundles of merch at <a href="http://seanhayesmusic.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://seanhayesmusic.com</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Right now, there are d<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">eals on bundles of autographed CDs, a new bottle opener with the lyric "Hearts All Full of Beats, The Stars All Full of Night", t-shirts, and back catalog of music. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I am forwarding my friend Kate's voting recommendations: <b>The Kate Slate</b>: cuz I like to use them as a voting guide and/or to check against what I intend to vote for. <b>Most importantly, NO ON B & C!!</b>Kate explains her views so that you can decide if you agree or disagree. There is a quick summary too, if you don't want to read thru it all... It is a good way to approach the issues, I find. Thanks Kate!!!!!!!!! And, come to the <b>Sean Hayes show Fri (w/ the Blank Tapes) and Sat (w/ Jillette Johnson) at the Independent!!</b> there are two day passes even!!! tix: <a href="http://theindependentsf.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://theindependentsf.com</a> xoxo Jessie </div>

<strong>A – Creates Retiree Health Care Trust Fund rules – No</strong></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>Voters created the Retiree Health Care Trust Fund in 2008. Now, this proposition would create rules about how the money is handled. The how and the why is confusing and boring (you can read all about it <a href="http://www.spur.org/files/voter-guides/SPUR_November_2013_Voter_Guide.pdf" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; color: #1155cc; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="SPUR voter guide">here on the SPUR Voter Guide</a>), suffice to say it is ballot box budgeting that would lock down the budget for a specific cause, which limits budget flexibility. Even though it seems good that it would make sure money allocated for retiree health care is used for retiree health care, it is problematic to budget at the ballot box because it creates inflexible budgets when budgets need to be able to adapt over time.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span><strong>B – Allows the city to issue building permits for a project at 8 Washington that violates City Planning Code – NOOOOOOO</strong><br />We should start with C because the signatures were gathered first to put C on the ballot–to overturn the Board of Supervisors terrible approval of the 8 Washington project. Why was it terrible? They make an exception to SF Planning Code for one property–8 Washington–luxury housing on the waterfront by the Ferry Building. The main exception you hear about is the height increase. But, they also made an exception for parking, which is problematic because the area is already serviced by ample public transit and some of the best walking and bicycling facilities while at the same time the area is plagued by some of the cities worst traffic jams. We cannot afford to make exception to city planning code for luxury apartments. In this democracy, everyone has to play by the same rules for this to work.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>So that was all about C… What about B? Once the developers of 8 Washington caught wind of the signature campaign to overturn the Supervisors’ decision, they put B on the ballot that creates a special district for the project that allows the development all the exceptions to the rules that they want. Since I don’t agree with them making this exception to the rule–especially not for luxury homes–I am voting no on B.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>One argument for Yes is that the developers have to give $11 million towards low income housing. That money for affordable housing is required by law for developments of that nature, to attempt to counter the problematic impacts that developments like this have on affordable housing, that ain’t charity. And, it is a problematic bandage solution for affordable housing, at that. Don’t buy it.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span><strong>C – Allows the City Supervisor’s approval of the 8 Washington project take effect – NO!</strong><br />If you didn’t read B above, start there, because that is where I started talking about C. A yes vote for C means that you agree with the Board of Supervisors and make the exception to the Planning Code for the 8 Washington Project and you want the city to issue the building permits. A no vote means that you want to overturn the Board of Supervisors’ decision and oppose the development. I am voting No as I said before because I don’t think they should make this exception. Now, if B passes and C doesn’t, the proposition with the most votes wins.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong>D – Policy Statement about reducing the cost of prescription drugs – blank</strong></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>This is a non-binding policy statement saying something along the lines of “wouldn’t it be nice if the city could actually do anything about the insane prices of prescription meds? But too bad we can’t so let’s just say that we OFFICIALLY think it would be nice if the city could actually do something about the insane prices of prescription meds.” I don’t waste my time voting on policy statements. Something in SF compels people to put these stupid non-binding policy statements on every ballot wasting money and time.</span></div>

<strong>Now that thing I must tell you about leaving parts of your ballot blank!</strong></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>Luckily my friend Sacha (and Slate Party Co-Hostess) did a bunch of election research and let me know that the only way to ensure your vote is counted if you leave items blank on the ballot is to vote at your polling place.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>When you vote at the poll, you insert your ballot into a machine and if there are blanks, the polling place official asks you if you intended to leave blanks. If you say yes, they press a button and your vote is tabulated.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>But if you drop your absentee ballot with blanks on it in the mail, drop it in an official election box, or drop it off at the Elections office at City Hall YOUR BALLOT MAY BE NOT COUNTED. When the vote counter who opens the absentee ballots comes across a blank, they are supposed to determine whether or not the voter intended to leave that item blank. I do not know how they do this–crystal balls? tarot cards? tea leaves? But I know if someone is guessing whether or not I intended to leave blanks on my ballot, they could guess wrong. And if they guess wrong and decide not to count my ballot, then NONE OF MY VOTES on that ballot would be counted!</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>So what do you do about this if you want to be able to leave ballots blank AND ensure your vote is counted? Bring your absentee ballot to your polling place and tell them you want to surrender your absentee ballot for a live ballot. They destroy your absentee ballot and give you a live ballot. Then you vote and leave blanks, feed it into the machine–it beeps–and you tell them you intended to leave it blank. If this sounds like a lot more work than you wanted because you are a lazy voter, you could always for no for D and vote for the three unopposed candidates.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.09375px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span>Tah-dah! You voted.

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Having played and recorded over the years with the likes of <b>Howe Gelb</b>, <b>Grandaddy</b>'s <b>Jason Lytle</b>, members of <b>Dr. Dog</b>, <b>Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band</b> and <b>Iggy & The Stooges</b>, as well as <b>Victoria Williams</b>, Matos has a well deserved reputation for attracting talented players into his ever shifting congregation. With his current line up and a new batch of songs, Matos is venturing into a more worldly direction (albeit a weird world) with more songs in his native Portuguese and explorations of Nigerian High Life, Native American music, as well as something of a return to his Leonard Cohen on Mushrooms, Lo-Fi Art-Folk roots (with Tucson's Campo Bravo). Something of a Rock 'n' Roll Age Of Discovery, a sonic passport, a pow wow for the citizens of the world.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There will be a <b>Lou Reed altar and tribute song</b>, and there is talk of a psychedelic pinata, and an attempt to turn the whole of Amnesia into one giant altar. After the magic of Matos' Family Folk Explosion Residency (a month long attempt to turn Amnesia into a spaceship, or a Grateful Dead parking lot on the moon, depending on who you believe), there is little reason to doubt this enigmatic Native Son. <b>Ash Reiter</b> side project <b>Sugar Candy Mountain (with Will Halsey, Bryant Denison, Tom Edler, & Michael Fortes), fresh off the release of the fantastic Mystic Hits, will open the festivities, and Brooklyn, NY's Jared Saltiel supports.</b></span></div>

Hi everyone!</div>

<div style="color: #222222;">
So the weekend is here, and as some of you know, the choir I've been in since 2007 (day 1!), <b>Conspiracy of Venus, </b> is back in action for our new season (we take summers off). We are performing tomorrow EARLY at the <b>Make-Out Room SATURDAY EVENING, 7:30PM-9:45PM</b>. & it's a <b>Halloween Party!!</b> We'll be dressing as Conspiracy of Beards, but they don't know that yet. Not only will we be premiering our new cover of the Beatles, "I'm Only Sleeping", with backwards guitar vocal solos, we'll be performing two other new ones, full of 4-6 part harmonies. Listen/get excited: http://<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; white-space: nowrap;"><span style="color: black;"><cite style="font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MMDugt8ZRk" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr></wbr>v=1MMDugt8ZRk</a></cite> </span></span>One of the new songs is an original by our director Joyce Todd McBride, and one is a classic that is recognizable + fun, and we learned a dance for it but will probably fall off the stage if we actually made that happen (one day tho). Anyway, I would really love to see You there. Oh yeah ! & we are lucky enough to have <b>Tin Sandwich</b> opening, an all-harmonica quintet!!!! (Sadly Lutra Lutra had to cancel due to a bought of winter upper respiratory sickness, but we wish them well and are so so happy Tin Sandwich can step in, esp since Scot from the Beards will get to see our costumes.) It would be foolish to miss Tin Sandwich, as they are a rare treat, so really, please do arrive early. AND as another early bonus, Hiya Swanhuyser, friend of the choir and an integral part of the SF music community, just confirmed that she can bring the typewriters tomorrow, for another go at <b>Attack of the Typewriters</b>! This means that before the music starts and in between sets, people (You) can type letters to political people and voice your opinion. 1 letter = 100 votes. (Or perhaps, more?) If you have a cause you are championing, feel free to bring a sample letter, and perhaps even make an announcement about it between sets. Also, for those of you know Oshan (community member who is in prison for 12.5 years), I will bring his address for us to send letters his way, as his birthday was this week! Go to <a href="http://teanotprison.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://teanotprison.com</a> if you want to learn more or help fund his appeal. Thanks for considering all these elements to try and get you to come to a show, and hope to see you tomorrow!</div>

A few more things: <b>Alemany Farm</b> - I went to the Harvest Fest last weekend and now am re-excited about the land and work that's being done there. An <b>herb garden crew</b> is forming and they plan to have <b>monthly workdays</b> focused on that space on the farm. Let me know if you're interested in joining; I am going to try to make it to those days. (All the cat tails you can eat!)</div>

Hope you are having good Saturday nights and enjoyed the sunny bay day. Tomorrow night (9/29), I'll be spending another Sunday evening at Amnesia and would love some company, for what I know will be a wonderful show-- with<b>Emily Jane White, Spectre Spectre, & King Woman</b>. Doors are at 8, Show at 8:30, in an attempt to not stay up too late, for those who have to get up early Monday!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2QmV6qd6yLY/UkeYafWiQnI/AAAAAAAAAt8/pBus18FRqQc/s1600/557153_10152251785398438_161981407_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2QmV6qd6yLY/UkeYafWiQnI/AAAAAAAAAt8/pBus18FRqQc/s400/557153_10152251785398438_161981407_n.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div>

<div>
There is a more enticing description of the bands with videos and sound links below, and if you read on, you'll see the Seaweed Sway show list, with a few bonus recommended shows thrown in.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
A couple more things: <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><b>Sean Hayes and The Blank Tapes are still on</b><b> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/413362245437106/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">tour</a></b><b> - </b><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: normal;">landing in SF Nov 8th & 9th at the Independent. Sean Hayes also </span>put out a<b> <a href="http://downloads.fastatmosphere.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=FASTATMOSPHERE&Category_Code=SHMSS#.Ui8zs-zQzH8.facebook" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">new single</a>, Magic Slim vs. Dynamite</b>! Preview the song, and buy it if you like it! P</span>lease tell friends around the US to go see 'em: <a href="http://seanhayesmusic.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://seanhayesmusic.com</a> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lastly, my friend & guitar teacher, Emily Shumway, is planning on doing a benefit show to help <b>Close Guantanamo Bay</b> detention center - partnering with a friend of hers who has been doing a 60 or 70 day fast to raise awareness. To learn more about the cause, go to <a href="http://CloseGitmo.net/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://CloseGitmo.net</a> If you'd like to help out, please email her at<a href="mailto:emilylacantante@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">emilylacantante@gmail.com</a></div>
<div>

Thanks!</div>

I'm writing an overdue email to you all, to remind you of a few things I mentioned last time. Mainly, I want to urgently ask you all to give to <b>Michael Musika & Eric Kuhn's album Kickstarter campaign here</b>: <b><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/michaelmusika/ghosts" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://www.kickstarter.<wbr></wbr>com/projects/michaelmusika/<wbr></wbr>ghosts</a></b> There are <b>only 4 days left;</b> help make it happen (please)! If you've already given, please share the link. There is an intriguing and thrilling and entertaining and true story entitled "What does a practical musician have to do with Axl Rose?" that Michael told about a magic trick from beyond the grave, told from Michael's home, that weaves incredibly into the album & thus this fundraising campaign. I am going to share the links to those videos below, for your viewing pleasure, and to inspire you to give generously, or if nothing else, to amuse you. Thomas Edler & Jen Kulbeck graciously filmed the story series. Michael is a gifted storyteller as well as musician.</div>

Last but not least, I don't quite understand the way America celebrates this holiday, however, I definitely am grateful for my freedom. There is a hunger strike happening soon amongst prisoners in solitary confinement, and learning about this reminds me how much I take for granted - going outside, interaction with friends, or anyone really, good healthy food, getting to choose what I want to do with my time. (Here's a website that talks more about it: <a href="http://abolishsolitary.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://abolishsolitary.<wbr></wbr>com</a>) Anyway, I'm especially grateful for community, and folks with whom I can share these words.</div>

<span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">"Crystalline psych-folk crooner Mariee Sioux's twinkly followup to debut <em>Faces in the Rocks </em>(2007), <em>Gift for the End </em>was released a whole year ago, but there was never a proper SF release party (and there was some drama with the label it was supposed to be on going defunct) so the local songwriter is celebrating now. It's a haunting, whispery, tender album, like a less annoying Joanna Newsom selection, and deserving of attention — no matter if that's taking place on a much later date.

Tonight, I'll be singing with Conspiracy of Venus - we go on from 8:30-9pm - and doors open at 7:30pm if you want to get there early to hang out. We will be debuting a David Bowie song we just learned (Life on Mars), as well as songs by Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Rufus Wainwright, The Pixies, & our director, Joyce Todd McBride.</div>

I am beyond thrilled that we will be opening for Mariee Sioux & Alela Diane. They both play music that I love, and it will be a treat to hear them both in one night. This album release has been a long-time in the making, and it is truly a special occasion.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_quote" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Mariee Sioux will have a full band, consisting of Sean Kae (who arranged & produced the record), Tom Menig (Alela's Father), Jay Taosig (synth and multi instrument extraordinaire), Gary Sobonya (Mariee's Father, who will play mandolin, pedal steel, and acoustic guitar), and Jeffrey Manson ("quintessential song-writer in the SF Bay area underground surf/indie music scene"). </div>

Here's Hiya's eloquent description: "Political letter-writing for everyone. We bring the typewriters -- you bring the opinions, the rage, the questions, the frustration. Not too many people know it, but one letter = 100 votes. Really! And it's easier when you're not alone. Grab a drink and tell the President (or any politician) what you want. You can write about anything you want, and we'll have a sample letter or two in case you're not sure what to write about. No one can stop you, after all: It's your right! We'll help you compose your (short!) letter, if you want, and answer all your questions. We also bring stamps, envelopes, tons of paper, a board to tally how many voters we've repped, a ding-bell, and notebooks full of letters we've written in the past and responses we've gotten; it's sometimes funny and sometimes sad."</span></span></div>

The year will end with songs from <b><a href="http://thebeehavers.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">The Beehavers</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marieesioux" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Mariee Sioux</a>, & <a href="http://francesthemute.net/category/videos/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Mark Grabiner</a> (very rare show)! </b></div>

<b>Please get there early if you can! </b>Doors at 8 (best time to hang out), & Mark goes on at 9pm. He is doing a few covers, including Mountain Goats, Sufjan Stevens, and he mentioned something about telling a story while playing a medley of Neutral Milk Hotel songs. He is interested in alternative live performances - here is a link to something he did before - playing at a Neuroscience Graduate Art Student Art Show at UC Berkeley while linked to a biofeedback visualizer- ummm, awesome. <a href="http://francesthemute.net/category/videos/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr>francesthemute.net/category/<wbr></wbr>videos/</a></div>

It's been a great year at the Starry Plough! Will be doing more shows there in 2013, but not as frequently, so this is gonna be a party to celebrate the end of the monthly series. i.e. an awesome night of music you want to see. Thanks for supporting this show, especially all you East Bayers, & SF'ers crossing the bay!</div>
