Terry procured from Smith-Andersen fire sale a copy of a Bruce Conner book from Germany on the punk scene in SF in the 1980s. NRW Forum Kultur Und Wirtschaft. I may just post links to some of the bands documented here. Penelope Houston of the Avengers is the only one I had worked with, years later. 1978 Dusseldorf.
We saw a similar show at Paule Anglim.
Will Shatter
was also involved with Negative trend and Flipper
Uxa and De Detroit.
Ricky Williams and the Sleepers
Prints from this collection were also shown in Berkeley in summer, 2008, i.e. thirty years old.
edit to add: totally snooty gallery people in LA, Kohn Gallery, someone who answers the phone, says the internet is wrong if it says they have Bruce Conner prints for sale but I could email gallery director Laura something Selzer? if I want more specific information. I said “I am just wondering what the prints are worth, if you sold some before but not currently: $100? A million dollars? A thousand dollars?” I guess this makes me value my book.
Doug Stringer shot about 80 plays of the Gunn-Pinewood game, probably Gunn’s best win of the season. Here “Al Palo Alto” also known as Alex Gil-Fernandez, looks like his namesake El Palo Alto towering over Pinewood senior Kyle Murphy. I project Gil as a Juco player who may develop to play D-1. He is certainly exciting to watch. I’m still wondering if he somehow inspired the Paly rooters’ jingoistic chants. Meanwhile, Gunn rolls on and is now 17-3, creeping up on our (1980-1981 25-3). If everyone better than them gets into the 8-team open division, and Gunn wins out at Division 1, that would be a pretty solid CCS championship, and up there with the Lockhart Era teams. Somewhere it there might be a re-match with Paly. and1: Meanwhile i am still processing the chants by Paly and wondering what it all means. Today it says that in France Chelsea fans prevented a black Parisian from entering their subway car, and then chanted “We’re racist; We’re racist; And that’s the way we like it.” So we’ve come a long way baby. Mrs. Mullin meanwhile asked her son about my observation and she says that they practiced “U.S.A! U.S.A!” which speaks to premeditation but not necessarily motive. What will they do against Abudulrasul? In today’s Merc (and solong good riddance Palo Alto Daily News): Highlight reel: Mo Abdulrasul, Fremont basketball: He scored 44 points to lead Fremont to a 63-59 win over Wilcox and 24 in a 63-54 win over Milpitas. Darren Sabreda adds: Fremont finished second in the lower El Camino and was promoted to De Anza this year; Tuesday they clinched the program’s first league title since 2003. Mo scored 26 more against Los Altos, pushing his average to 22.9 per game. How many titles did coach Phil Kelley win in the old De Anza League? I would guess close to ten. Phil Kelly (Fremont). Coached basketball at Fremont High from 1966-90 (457-156) and won CCS titles in 1968, 1983 and 1990.from the banners it looks like seven league titles in 24 seasons although they acknowledge 36 years at the school.
I said softly, with a subtle fist pump, such that only PAUSD board elect Ken Dauber could likely hear, “Go, Gunn!” as Karen said that the Titans out bike the Vikes 839 to 805 in daily trips.
She also shouted out to Perry, Miner and Greg Brown (fishing post office window mural).
Terry and I went to Hawaii for a week in winter, 2013 about two years ago. Here is my late-breaking photo essay on such:
This is us watching a sunset at a public beach in Kona, near a government energy facility. Terry has a thing about watching the exact moment of sunset and I generally messed it up for us. But this time we made it.
This one is of Terry shot by me at a beach that was very near where my parents owned a little condo when I was in high school. The water was too choppy to wade in. Mostly we drove around the island and shopped and ate. I guess that makes us middle-aged. Terry did make some art at a center called Donkey Mill. I learned to love Kona Beer, and was finding it locally for a while. I am also jonesing about that print in a gallery above Kona, the one near the uke workshop; that the print said something about “on the terrace, on a lamp, one word: harmony”. It’s about $4,000 for the print, a little more than my budget, but it is working on me.
To be honest, we could not really afford the Hawaii trip.

Terry Acebo Davis is working hard on an installation as part of a group show at Seattle’s Wing Luke Museum. Here I’ve re-blogged from her wordpress site; Go, Terry!

When the Gunn Titans championship teams had their our 25th reunion someone said “What? You don’t remember Phil’s spin move?” but eventually it came to me.
So in honor of Mardi Gras and who knows I am suggesting that Phil hit on actress Melanie Griffith a couple years ago at the wedding of Mark Daley (Phil’s cousin, who overlapped with me for one year at Terman and three years at Gunn) and Tracy Griffith a chef and author from Napa, half-sister of the “working girl” movie star.
I am psyched about Paly basketball in a must-win at Los Gatos, more so that Gunn at whoever, Cupertino at 5-5 league. Seven p.m. tip off, Paly is 17-5, ranked #9 in CCS, out of 124 teams, while the Cats from the 408 are 11-11 and #43 but beat Paly earlier. Gunn meanwhile is sitting pretty in the lower division at 16-3 and #18. Kehilla a private school here is 2-15 #122 — makes me want to write about some of these lesser teams. (San Jose, Summit, Mid-Pen).
It’s also Mardi Gras, which makes me think if I get to New Orleans I will check out THE Mardi Gras. (Old schoolers say “the mardi gras”)
I’ve been pretty consistent about insisting on Tabasco with most every savory. And I did put it on sweet, at Brown Sugar Shack (where, the brown modifies the shack, not the sugar).
Here is Dr. John, who I call Mac. (And he did threaten me once, which is a type of initiation; I gave him a Zuni fetish I bought in Clarement Berkeley).
Then is the Danny Barker old original version of same.
And this is for Cosimo Mattassa, I met in NOLA, at LMNOP, and wanted to produce a film based on Dante with him telling the story, unless that actually exists and he was telling me. I told Janis Stevenson at Foothill College that I was writing my report about Cosimo. Maybe I settled on Alvin Hart instead, who is in Memphis, but from Hayward. And speaking of Foothill, I suggest that there 4-year degree be called an A.A.B. for almost arterium bachalaurus.
and1, which today is pronounced “Antoine” like in Fats Domino: I am jealous of the Creola of San Carlos crowd, checking Macy Blackman with guest, according to Andrew Gilbert, Mz. Nancy Wright , speaking of “fido sit, fido guzzle” which is a Trini reference. I met Macy at Cheese Board of BKLY recently last week and asked if anyone confuses him with Macy Gray, who is a black female but not a black man although she is named for a black man.
I also rang Jay Blakesberg an offered to raise $1 M in his name to give to journalism students at SFSU or Evergreen College in WA and he said that like Mark Twain, the rumors of his demise are exaggerated. But he said I could cut and paste a little lagniappe to this site.
