in another kitchen!
Happening again tonight and for the following few weeks...
10PM
Josie's Cabaret 16th/Market
another episode of Heather Woodbury's performance novel on the topic of
"jazz, rave, and brussels sprouts". One woman, one hundred characters
-- partially inspired by her and Dudley Saunder's journey to
Kalifurnya during prime beachtime raving season -- attending SF Raves's
and perhaps the bay area's first rave at bonnie doon.
Below is someone's comment on this (author name is call by reference):
|i cannot recommend this more highly. the woman is incredible. i only saw a
|couple of episodes, back when it was a weekly show at a bar in the e
|village (which then became a much shorter, tighter series at PS 122--i
|think that's what she's doing at josie's) but she's got an incredible ear
|and is a kickass storyteller and delightful actress. old ladies and little
|ravers and pimps and prostitutes and yuppies all coexist and cross paths in
|this incredibly coherent universe she creates. it's very satisfying. you
|needn't catch all 8 episodes (whittled down from like 32!)--you can drift
|in anywhere and immediately get your bearings. but GO GO GO GO!!!!

--------------------
PS: Some of the inspiration in this
one-person-many-characters-performance was inspired by Heather's
positive experiences at the SF Raves "Connection" rave at Bonnie Dune
Beach in Santa Cruz (damn, when was that 92? 93?). Heather came with a
friend who writes for Spin Magazine and he ended up writing a 1-pager
on SF's rave scene that predominantly mentioned an underground rave on
some unnamed california beach -- an early, accurate, and positive
accounting of the rave scene in the press... There's mention of this in
the early SFR archives.

The author's name is Dudley Saunders -- perhaps you can do some kind of
search for that name (try alta vista off of
http://www.search.com/ and
use the proper capitalization for a name) -- some of the early sfraves
archives are on the web so you should be able to get a search hit.
Then look at the date of the message and that should give you a pretty
good idea of the timeframe of that article ...
I quite frankly don't remember the dates, but vaguely recall that this
article was published in november-december-january-february-march
timeframe after that connection rave. Since I just moved and
undoubtedly threw away any nonessential paper encumberances, I doubt I
have that article any more.
