i took some photos at this morning's pride parade (with loads of dykes on bikes) and at yesterday's dyke march.

happy san francisco pride! happy pride!

today is also the 40th anniversary of stonewall... how far we've come. how much further we have to go...

last night we went (WALKED from new apartment!!!) to see femi kuti at the san francisco fillmore. it was an awesome, amazing show. great dancers/back up singers. sweet african inspired beats blended with funk and jazz. and very political.

i highly recommend checking out femi kuti, especially live!

my photos from the day of decision are all up. they are all labeled and tagged.

all 128 of them.

very quick. i am exhausted.

i spent the entire day at the repeal proposition 8 decision day protests. sadly, the court did not rule in our favor if you don't know the rest of the story by now, then google it.

the day started with a 930am gathering at the california supreme court building right here in san francisco. at 10am the ruling was read. this was followed by a protest and a sit-in in the middle of van ness avenue where over 100 people were arrested. after this, i headed to the castro where organizers were trying to get people out into the streets. i ran over to joey's to recharge my phone and rest for a second before heading back downtown to city hall for a 5pm rally. that rally was followed by a march past the supreme court building and down market street.

i am exhausted and am a mess of mixed emotions. i am sore because i managed to fuck up my ankle. it didn't help that after i fucked up my ankle, i continued to walk on it for miles. i am praying i'll be ok to ride my bike tomorrow. (it's in a bike locker at a bart station at the moment and i want need to go get it.) i am uploading photos, and there are a LOT of them. i am hoping my 128 photos from today will be something i look back at when i am much older and scoff at the days of inequality.

i will post a flickr link much later tonight or tomorrow.

and... right now i am feeling way too incoherent to write much more, but i may post a more personal note about all of this to my friends-list. we shall see... (and, if you happen to be my friend on facebook, i updated my status and added a few photos throughout the day. check it out (read from the bottom up). i never update facebook that much! but i do like that i have a running inner dialogue of my day archived online. so go facebook... ;)

today is shaping up to be quite the supreme court day. in two hours, the california supreme court will read its decision regarding proposition 8. i hope hope hope it is overturned, but i don't have the greatest feeling. still, the california supreme court has known to surprise with many of its past rulings. there is hope. i'm just not feeling it. of course if this bullshit of a proposition is not overturned, the fight will continue on - this is not the end. put gay marriage back on the ballot in 2010. i bel;ieve that 2008 is the last election that the homophobes religious right will get their way on this.

in other supreme court news (this time national), i am pleased with president obama's nomination of sonia sotomayor to replace justice souter on the supreme court. at this point, the single most important issue (to me) is that the supreme court upholds roe v wade and that choice is protected on a national level. i have faith that sotomayor will deliver just rulings.

i'm off to the civic center area (san francisco) to hear the ruling live. this is history it's happening in my city. i want to be there. and i will.

the indigo girls will be featured on this week's live from the archives show on KFOG. it airs wednesday and sunday at 8pm west coast time.

also on this week's live from the archives are sets from the dead and the allaman brothers band.

now on to a personal plea: KFOG streams online. can anyone record it? not only do i love the indigo girls (duh), but i am seeing the dead on sunday (super stoked) and i really like the allmans too. PLUS i have a feeling they are going to rebroadcast parts of the IG private show that i was at a few months ago. my computer can no longer record streams AND i won't be able to listen live at either time. please? someone...

thanks in advance!

i have been listening (online) to the arguments for and against the constitutionality of proposition 8. it's being argued in front of the california supreme court (here in san francisco) right now.

i am holding out hope that the justices see that 8 is unconstitutional on the basis that the majority can not vote to take away rights from a (often discriminated against) minority.

and you know what? i wholeheartidly believe that if such an issue ever ends up on a ballot in california again, it would be voted down. there have been so many strides in the gay rights movement even since november.

but i hope it doesn't come down to that. proposition 8 is a revision to the constitution, not an amendment. and 52% simply can not revise the constitution.

on tuesday night i attended a special indigo girls private show in the KFOG playspace (here in san francisco). joey went with me, and it was kind of a random mid-february treat for us. anyone who has ever been to the the KFOG playspace knows that it is very small - i believe the capacity is about 30. the girls did a quick swing through the west coast (san francisco, seattle, and portland) to promote poseidon and the bitter bug, due out on 24 march. (side note: i have heard the entire album and i am far from impressed, but after hearing a few of the songs live, i got a tiny glimmer of hope).

this is not the first indigo girls private show i had attended, so i kind of knew what to expect: very low key, short set, and very few instruments (amy: one guitar, a mandolin, and a harmonica; emily: two guitars).

KFOG did not allow any photos, recordings, or cell phones because any additional electronics could interfere with their recording. i respected that, and turned everything off. bummer about the no-photos because joey and i were in the front row, and my photos would have been sweet.

here is the setlist:

sugar tongue
love of our lives
second time around
what are you like
what are you like (take two)
galileo

again, short and sweet. during amy's "tuning time" the audience (mostly not seasoned IG fans, just lucky radio winners) asked a few questions. nothing new, nothing that most IG fans don't already know.

it was a fun night, and although i'm not going to do much traveling to see the girls for this album, it did excite me for their return to the bay area to play a real show (hopefully in may or the summer).

tonight i'm going to the KFOG indigo girls private show in the KFOG studios. given my past experiences at these, tonight should be super fun. i will take photos if i can (last time KFOG did not allow photos despite IG's no-flash policy), and will, at the very least, post the setlist tomorrow.

i'm not that into the new album at all, and while i don't think that my "since 1989 love of amy and emily" will ever completely disappear, i do go through stages. right now i am at an indigo low. i'm not really going to go out of my way (ie travel far) to see them. and i am not going to ever try to double the number of times i've seen them (over 200) or go for a new yearly record of number of times i have seen them (33 times in a year is my record) but this is super awesome. an intimate set in downtown san francisco. how could i possibly turn that down?!?

hopefully KFOG won't lose or screw up their recording like they did last time.

this only takes a few seconds, and i think it is an awesome idea considering the impact that milk has had and will continue to have. finally, thanks to this fantastic film, the gay rights movement has gone beyond san francisco and other liberal pockets of the us. people in middle america, who have had very little exposure (or negative exposure) to queer rights are seeing this film and rethinking their stances on hatred such as proposition. 8 it is a shame that this movie wasn't released well before the november election, the premier in san francisco was only a few weeks before the election, and it wasn't released nationally until late november. but i already see progress, and thanks to milk i see the gay rights movement, in a POSITIVE LIGHT, going beyond the 415. i am also so proud of san francisco, so proud of this magnificent city, and so happy that the release of milk has brought tourists (and their dollars) back into the castro.

everyone involved in making milk deserves a round of applause. and a huge thanks. and now, we can all thank sean penn, dustin lance black, and the others.

from the courage campaign:

"Pay it forward: Send your thanks to Dustin Lance Black, Sean Penn and Cleve Jones for making "Milk" possible
Watch this inspiring speech, sign the thank you note and invite your friends to watch the video as well

Dustin Lance Black's Oscar acceptance speech, channeling the spirit of Harvey Milk
with a universal message of hope and determination in the aftermath of the passage of Prop 8, has the potential to change lives.

Please watch the speech and sign the thank you note to Black, who won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, Sean Penn who won a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Milk, and Cleve Jones, who worked with Milk in the 1970's and pushed for many years
to get this beautiful film made. If you feel so inspired, please write a short note letting them know how "Milk" has touched your life.

Then help Dustin Lance Black "pay it forward" by inviting your friends and family -- especially the people who most need to watch his inspiring acceptance speech. "



show YOUR thanks!

*sigh*

so so so awesome. again, i would have bolded my favorite parts, but then i would be bolding the whole thing.

(for anyone who loves on another planet, this is sean penn's "thank you speech" for his award for best actor in milk)

"Thank you. Thank you. You commie, homo-loving sons-of-guns. I did not expect this, but I, and I want it to be very clear, that I do know how hard I make it to appreciate me often. But I am touched by the appreciation and I hoped for it enough that I did want to scribble down, so I had the names in case you were commie, homo-loving sons-of-guns, and so I want to thank my best friend, Sata Matsuzawa. My circle of long-time support, Mara, Brian, Barry and Bob. The great Cleve Jones. Our wonderful writer, Lance Black. Producers Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks.

And particularly, as all, as actors know, our director either has the patience, talent and restraint to grant us a voice or they don't, and it goes from the beginning of the meeting, through the cutting room. And there is no finer hands to be in than Gus Van Sant. And finally, for those, two last finallies, for those who saw the signs of hatred as our cars drove in tonight, I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support. We've got to have equal rights for everyone. And there are, and there are, these last two things. I'm very, very proud to live in a country that is willing to elect an elegant man president and a country who, for all its toughness, creates courageous artists. And this is in great due respect to all the nominees, but courageous artists, who despite a sensitivity that sometimes has brought enormous challenge, Mickey Rourke rises again and he is my brother. Thank you all very much. "

i love love love how he addressed the homophobic protesters and those who voted yes on proposition 8.

here is the text of dustin lance black's "thank you" speech. he won the award for best original screenplay for milk. i was trying to bold my favorite parts, but i realize i'd be bolding the entire speech...

"Oh my God. This was, um, this was not an easy film to make. First off, I have to thank Cleve Jones and Anne Kronenberg and all the real-life people who shared their stories with me. And, um, Gus Van Sant, Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin, James Franco and our entire cast, my producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen, everyone at Groundswell and Focus for taking on the challenge of telling this life-saving story. When I was 13 years old, my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas to California, and I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life. It gave me the hope one day I could live my life openly as who I am and then maybe even I could even fall in love and one day get married.

I wanna thank my mom, who has always loved me for who I am even when there was pressure not to. But most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he'd want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told that they are less than by their churches, by the government or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights federally, across this great nation of ours. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you, God, for giving us Harvey Milk."

i second that all of that. and yes, "THANK YOU HARVEY MILK!" and thank you, san francisco, for being so damn accepting and for always being on the forefront of the queer rights movement. i am so proud to live here and proud of the legacy of this great area!

i usually do a live music roundup at the end of every year. usually it's about 90-95% indigo girls shows. 2008 was very different for me. and i have to say, 2008 was awesome in terms of concerts i attended.

there were a few house concerts and private shows that i went to that i can not write about publicly (sorry for the vagueness), so with the exception of those, here is my year in terms of live music:

january 2008:
i saw lady miss kier (yes, of dee lite) DJing at the mezzanine here in san francisco. the show was on the eve of joey's birthday, and we went to celebrate his birthday (and because he is/was a dee lite fan). the show was actually a lot of fun, and i have never been asked for so many hard drugs in my life (some kid came over to us looking for e and/or coke. we had neither. of course.)

i was supposed to attend four indigo girls shows in the midwest. all of them were either canceled or postponed due to emily coming down with the flu. some of the shows were rescheduled, but since i didn't want to go back to the midwest, i didn't go to any of the rescheduled dates. it was very disappointing, but thankfully the whole trip to the midwest wasn't a bust, i had to be in chicago anyway because my flight for africa left from o'hare. sadly, my friends laura and bonnie flew to the midwest for these shows too, and they really ended up in the midwest in january/early february for no reason. sad.

february 2008:

i was in africa for most of the month. while i didn't seek out any shows while i was there, i happened upon a traditional african duo in mozambique. that was quite cool. for the second half of their set, they did not play traditional african music and instead played beatles covers on their guitars. not quite as impressive. (what is it with beatles covers? i've seen "yesterday" covered by bands in japan, mozambique, france, and vietnam now. i know it's an insanely popular song, but come on!!!)

march 2008:

holyshit. i saw the black crowes live for the first time and was immediately in love. joey had loaded up my ipod with crowes music for my africa trip, and i was actually a very casual crowes fan throughout college and high school, but seeing these boys live blew me away. all of them (with the possible exception of adam) are real musicians who know how to jam. this one show made it so i will now travel for the indigo girls/amy ray AND the black crowes (for years, i'd only travel to see the indigo girls/amy ray solo. not any more. this was epic for me.)

april 20008:

joey and i went to tahoe to see the crowes. i don't really remember any details from this particular show except that i had an amazing time. i even made "friends" with some crowes fans in line. OH! and i saw mona (one of their backup singers, who i have a "thing" for) before the show. i said "mona, i love you," and she told me she loved me back. i also sweet talked the casino worker into giving me the poster for the show. good times.

the next night we went to see mark ford (former guitarist for the crowes) at blake's in berkeley. sadly, i got sick during the show and missed most of it, but what i saw/heard was impressive. joey said it was really good. i will take his word for it.

may 2008:

i saw girlyman, one of my past favorites, in berkeley at the freight and salvage (i hate that venue). it was a very "meh" show, and despite being far from sober, i found myself quite bored. by far the least impressive girlyman show i had ever seen. i slowly began losing interest in them after that show. that girlyman gig was perhaps the most disappointing show of 2008 for me.

june 2008:

the indigo girls were on the west coast, and where they were, i was there too (with the exception of the horrible venues in southern california. i actually skipped those shows). i love love love love the indigo girls (as 99% of those reading this know), but i am sad to say, i found the summer shows to be really weak for them. i am not saying i didn't have a good time - i had a GREAT time. and the shows were still awesome, hey, when amy and emily are on stage together, awesomeness occurs. but there were very few setlist surprises, and out of the 200+ indigo girls shows i have seen, i have seen MUCH better. none of the summer 2008 shows made my list of "top 10 indigo girls shows i have seen," or even top 20 for that matter. it wasn't all about the concerts, though. i had gotten some really bad news on the morning of one of the shows. and despite all of that, i still managed to have fun. plus it was so much fun to go up to the pacific northwest and see bonnie, courtney, and julianna. annnnd, joey got to see lovely oregon for the first time, so that was fun too! out of all of the shows, i think the best was the first one i saw, in yountville, california (near napa). i was stoked to be seeing the girls again, and there were some, um, very entertaining audience members. ;) the veneta show was also a highlight of that tour for me, not for the actual show, but for the fact that it was at one of my favorite venues (a general admission winery in beautiful central oregon) and because i got to meet a lot of really awesome people!

july 2008:

i saw the weirdest gov't mule/ratdog show EVER! the show was supposed to be at this outdoor venue on the peninsula (the mountain winery), which is a bit snotty, but it's still an outdoor venue. however the day before the show, the crew at the mountain winery realized that the renovations would not be completed in time for the show. so this hippie show was moved to the san jose center for the performing arts. yes. that kind of venue. however, i am pretty sure the venue staff was given clear instructions not to bother any of the concert goers about anything. no one was in their "assigned" seat. and the best parts?!? people were straight up smoking up inside the venue. the san jose performing arts center smelled like a marijuana collective! and the hippies did not leave their hippie dogs at home! joey and i witnessed a few big digs running up and down the ramps at the performing arts center. as for the concert itself, i was impressed with gov't mule (warren haynes can have my babies), but not so much with ratdog. oh bob weir... sorry, but the former members of the grateful dead are nothing without jerry. sorry.

august 2008:

thanks to my friend lynn, i got to see dolly parton for free at the greek theater in berkeley. it was a lot of fun. we had amazing seats, and dolly sure knows how to put on a great show!

while we didn't have tickets, joey and i headed to golden gate park to see radiohead at the first (and maybe last) outside lands festival. although i wished i could see better, thom yorke and radiohead put on a fucking amazing show. radiohead is a band that i like. a lot. but i hardly listen to their recorded music. live is where it is at for them!

on the last day of the month, i got a very special treat (and kind of a lifelong dream of mine). the indigo girls were playing a mere six blocks from my house! the people at the oakland art and soul festival somehow managed to book them. it was an amazing show, and i think it was the best IG i saw in 2008. it wasn't the setlist (though it was quite varied, even for a festival), but it was the fact that i was seeing a band i have traveled to the UK to see within walking distance of my house. i was in my usual spot (front row, amy side/center) and many of my non IG fan friends came to the show (namely marin and kelley), and i had a freaking blast! matt nathanson "opened" for them and i was a lot more impressed with him than i thought i would be. really, can it get much better? the indigo girls for $10 six blocks from my own bed. nah, it can't! and to add to the specialness, laura came up from san diego for the show.

september 2008:

joey and i went to power to the peaceful (free spearhead festival in golden gate park) to see warren haynes play solo. that day solidified the fact that warren haynes can have my babies. while i really like gov't mule, i would say warren solo is probably in my top five or six of favorite musicians. he ended his set with "soulshine" and while it's "the 'galileo' of warren haynes," i genuinely love that song and i loved singing it with all of the hippies at golden gate park. joey and i were going to stick around for spearhead, but it was an unusually hot day in san francisco, so we went to the beach instead. it's all good - i have seen spearhead several times.

a few weeks later, we drove up to arcata (humboldt county) to see the black crowes at a small theater on hsu's campus. i really liked that show because a) it was mellow and b) they played "forgiven song," which i was creaming over. but chris' voice was bad. way bad. bad enough that the rest of the tour was canceled due to his illness. major bummer for joey and me because we had tickets to two more shows. both canceled. i think in 2008 i had a record number of concerts canceled on me (indigo girls earlier in the year). but of all of the shows on that tour, i was glad that humboldt was not canceled! seeing the crowes (big stoners) in humboldt county (and we all know what humboldt is known for) was sweet. and yes, i brought some "souvenirs" from humboldt home with me (although i get them here at home, regularly ;) )

october 2008:

i went to the hardly strictly bluegrass festival (free. again, in golden gate park. i love san francisco!) to see robert plant (of led zepplin) and allison krauss do their thing together. it was kind of a cluster fuck of people, and the show was a lot flatter than i had expected. then i gave their duet cd a listen, and it was flat flat flat. still, i had a good time in the park with my friends.

in mid-october i flew to the midwest to catch a few of amy ray solo gigs since (at the time) she did not have any west coast dates up. i fucking love that woman solo and had not seen her solo since 2005 (which, fair enough, was the last time she toured solo). i had a blast at all of the gigs (of course). i hooked up with some old friends on the road (jib, sarah, amy, nancy) and it was great to see them! hearing the songs off of didn't it feel kinder live gave that album a whole new dimension for me. plus arizona, her opening band, was great as well. i simply can not wait to catch amy's gigs on the west coast later this month. whereas the indigo girls shows were mediocre (for IG shows), the amy shows were fan-fucking-tabulous! she even played "chiapas bound" at a small club in champaign, illinois.

november 2008:

the night before flying to kentucky and illinois for an extended thanksgiving holiday, joey and i saw gov't mule at the fillmore. it was a really fun show, and i was glad that mule played a full set as opposed to their opening set for ratdog. plus the fillmore is a better venue for them. the show didn't end until after one in the morning, but it was worth it to stay for the whole thing. not only was the whole set really great, but the poster (fillmore poster) is one of my favorite fillmore posters that i have. i will gladly pay to see gov't mule again.

december 2008:

on kind of a whim, joey and i went to the fillmore to see the coup, my favorite hip hop band (local bay area too). that show was so memorable in that neither of us were expecting it to be as much fun as it was. for now on, anytime the coup is in town, i will see them. we were in the front row (which is not unusual for me at concerts) right in front of pam the spinstress. joey and pam even had a few "moments." sadly, we were also by the rude drunk girl and the drunk couple who almost threw up all over me. but hey, it all goes with the territory.

and finally, the crown jewel of my 2008 concert going came in mid-late december: five nights of the black crowes at the fillmore (i was starting to feel like i should just live at the fillmore i was there so often). joey and i went to all five nights. kenny, my favorite member of joey's family, flew in for four out of five of the nights (joey thinks that the first show was the best and can't believe that he missed the first show!). there were so many amazing moments and so many highlights. since this wasn't so long ago, i am still processing it all myself. so instead of a recap, here are a few things i learned at the five night black crowes' fillmore run: 1) i am not a fan of phil lesh. 2) if there's not a barrier up and someone jumps on stage, there will be a barrier up the next night. 3) some crowes fans are amazingly awesome. we made some new friends. 4) some crowes fans are psycho ie the crazy dancer and the "YOU DON'T THINK I'M PRETTY?!??!" low self esteem girl. 5) a band that plays an unexpected setlist filled with surprises owns a piece of my heart. and 6) i can't believe the black crowes were in freaking oakland in 2007 and joey asked me if i wanted to go and i told him no. *KICKS SELF HARD. VERY HARD* i have recordings of all five nights and am constantly rocking out to them, letting the memories last a little longer.

so while 2008 wasn't a great year for me and the indigo girls (shitty venues, bad tour dates, my unwillingness to go to the east coast, canceled shows), 2008 was a great year for live music all around. i want to send a super loud "THANK YOU" shout out to joey, who basically pulled me out of my indigo/aray exclusivity and introduced me to so much more.

here's to a great live music year in 2009. we're already off to a great start... amy ray is coming west in about three weeks!

here are photos from the black crowes' five night run at the san francisco fillmore. i went to all five nights but did not take pictures at all five...

so so so so sad this is over. i had such a blast and met some amazing people. and the crowes played about 90% of my wish-list over the course of five nights.

here's tonight's setlist. today was chris' birthday and this was a really amazing gig.

i hope the black crowes do another five at the fillmore soon!

Feelin' Alright
Stare It Cold
High Head Blues -> Jam
Space Captain
Seeing Things
Young Man, Old Man
Let Me Share The Ride
Descending
Downtown Money Waster -> Jam ->
Mona ->
Take Off From The Future ->

Polly
Oh Josephine
Feathers
Movin' On Down The Line
Remedy
- encore -
Sugaree
Cold Rain And Snow
New Speedway Boogie

phil lesh (grateful dead) joined the crowes on stage for their encore. my highlights: "descending," "feathers," "sugaree," "feelin' alright," "seeing things," and "let me share the ride." this show was also 170 minutes verses their usual 120. what an awesome show. pics from the five nights coming very soon!

ok these just keep getting better and better.

*sigh* i can't believe tomorrow night is the final show in a five night run of black crowes shows. i will miss the fillmore. i will miss some people we met. i will miss going to see the crowes on the regular. and i will miss chris, rich, steve, sven, luther, mona, portia charity, and yes, even adam.

here is tonight's setlist:

Cursed Diamond
Horsehead
Goodbye Daughters Of The Revolution
Hotel Illness
Comin' Home
Under A Mountain
Jam -> Bring On, Bring On
Girl From A Pawnshop
Girl From The North Country
Good Friday
Title Song
Bewildered
Soul Singing
Hard To Handle -> Jam
Wounded Bird
- encore -
God's Got It
Can't You Hear Me Knocking

"soul singing" sounded amazing! and this is the first time they have played "bewildered" since something like 1993. other highlights for me were "good friday," "title song," "under a mountain," "girl from a pawnshop," "horsehead," and even "god's got it" (i am not crazy about that song, but it is fucking awesome with steve playing the band leader's drum live...). joey was really happy to get "bring on bring on." i love that the crowes actually mix up their setlists and play several genuine surprises a night. other bands could learn a lesson from the crowes... ;)

best. live. show. for. me. EVER!

Exit
No Speak No Slave
Cypress Tree
Evil Eye
Walk Believer Walk
Nonfiction -> Jam
Peace Anyway ->
Wiser Time
There's Gold In Them Hills
Wyoming And Me
Do Right Woman, Do Right Man
Another Roadside Tragedy
Sting Me
My Morning Song
Jealous Again

Willin'
Poor Elijah - Tribute To Johnson (Medley)

"wyoming and me" was my number one "have to hear it (but might not because it is kind of a stretch)" song on this tour. oh fuck yeah. and "my morning song," "evil eye," and "another roadside tragedy" were badass killer as well. the die hards were going crazy over "exit" as the crowes had not played that live in over ten years.

this one's going to be hard to top...

edit: since i know not everyone who reads my blog is a black crowes fan, here's an mp3 of "wyoming and me". :)

freaking awesome for the first night! i *really* wanted to hear "how much for your wings" so yay. also, i tend to forget how amazing "movin' on down the line" is live. joey was super stoked about "waiting guilty."

all in all a fantastic setlist!

(hopefully they got "she talks to angels" out of their system for good. arrrgh! so not my fave. actually, my least fave (my "black crowes 'power of two'" if you will...). but with four more nights who knows what's in store!)
