Just got in from a little Ozark dayhike with my friends the Braunstein
Brothers. Hadn't heard of Diane Fowler, but did Helen Davis and of
course, Lia the new editor. Can't say as I read the paper much, or any
paper to be honest. But "The Good Times" paper is vaguely familiar but
totally. It wasn't a Black Panther organ though was it? They were
originally from Oakland and "Good Times" doesn't sound to Pantherish
but hen again could be wrong.
The ones I do know from the past and the area is a gentleman I'm
doing some articles for now who has his own company for publications
and supplying them content and that is Ben Fong Torres of some note
(yeah, him I heard of!) and working on a project in San Francisco to
establish the artists and activist program that will also have it's
own publication, online website and eventually bricks and mortar
gallery and headquarters.

As for the Barb and Oracle I sold those on the streets to make some
change until I went into, uh, well, my own business to foot the bills.
Not as exciting as living on the beach in the land of palm trees for
close to two years but you didn't need much cash over there in those
days and I was only 15 at the time so immortal as hell...still
immortal, but feeling mortal every day...as for the paper I work at, I
forgot about that, I make money primarily from my book sales and
columns I do freelance (5 publications a month from pop culture to
green issues) and never had a j-degree so wanted to get some good old
fashioned Hunter T. journalism under my belt to round out my internal
gratification resume...freelance writing and booksales however do more
than the salary as far as income and freelancing allows me to do other
things that I normally wouldn't be able to do, travel, experiment and
go where and as I please, only this time, I'm not 15, but feel it at
times...so hope that answers the questions. Now, what are you doing in
Grants?

Also speaking of on the road will be off line until July 20th to get a
little more of that luxury freetime in but will check in after
that..until then...don't bogart that thing!
