Outside Lands Day 1
http://www.fantasticweapon.com/ live-reviews/ lands-day-1Outside Lands Music Festival put on the first nighttime event Golden Gate Park has seen in over 30 years. The park is a pivotal site in rock n roll history and thankfully the festival helped prove that the park still knows how to party. I started the festival off by checking out Carney – a poppy classic rock band from Los Angeles.

MIFF part two
http://richard_watts.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 08/ miff-part-two.htmlSo now I've managed to squeeze in a total of 12 sessions at the Melbourne International Film Festival, which to people who only see a couple of movies a year will seem like a lot of cinema-going in just 13 days, but by my usual festival-going standards is pretty pissweak.

The Beat Scene Press pocket Book Series.
http://hstbooks.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 07/ 29/ the-beat-scene-press-pocket-book-se…This morning I received the latest additions to my “Beat Scene Press Pocket Edition Chap Books” So far in the collection there are 17 in total with more to come I’m sure. I still have to get number 5 but with some luck I will have one in hand at some point in time. Their appeal to me is that they are a neat and tidy publication and an easy, quick read.
