The blues duo KeepSweet played their special brand of dirty blues as the opening act of City Sessions at Club Waziema.

Waziema, with it's excellent Ethiopian food, comfortable bar, and velvet wallpaper, has been a favorite destination of mine for years. I've always loved being in the back room where James Brown, Tina Turner, Billie Holliday and other legends performed in the '70's, but this was the first time that I've seen live music there myself.

Jeff Tweedy of Wilco played the Friday evening show of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. His solo acoustic renditions of some of my favorite songs were terrific to hear, but I could have done without his pompous stage chatter.

This is a drawing from a distance. You'll see more definitions in drawings from the 2005 Greek Theater Wilco show.

Dan and Shavi, having broken off from the Elegant Clydes, play their first show as a duo with all original songs at the Blarney Stone, a proper Irish Pub in the Richmond.

Three Hot Chixxx, in their first gig, play their unique brand of hyperactive cheerleader punk pop at the Blarney Stone.

It was a benefit for "Death by Corporation," a fictional film being produced by Tony Cruz loosely based on Chevron's pattern of involvement with human rights abuses and murders around the world. Tony became involved in this issue while working with Amnesty International and has read this statement directly to the shareholders.
