Jello in the pit. (Eastern Front outdoor punk rock festival in Berkeley, 1981) // Steve Harlow
The best thing about Biafra was that he was a fan.
This shot illustrates the more friendly nature of the pit at Eastern Front. Note that Jello's wearing aviator shades, which would be dangerous if it was a violent pit. Also the foreground guy in the black jacket holding a cigarette. At this point, in this area, it was casual.

BAY AREA RESIDENTS AGAINST PETROIMPERIALISM:
Tumblr media
From Richmond to Gaza — we won’t stand by as Chevron profits at the expense of Palestinian lives. Join us for a rally and protest at Gate 14 (Castro Way, at the 580 overpass) in Richmond to demand that:
Chevron must shut down the Tamar and Leviathan gas fields.
Chevron must divest from Israel and stop its complicity in apartheid.
Boycott Chevron until there is a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation of Palestine.
Chevron (and its subsidiaries) make billions running major gas operations off the coast of occupied Palestine. These massive gas fields provide the majority of the light and energy for Israel’s apartheid regime and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
In the words of Chevron CEO Mike Wirth: “[The genocide] doesn’t change our view on the development opportunities really at all… This is a long-term play. It’s a very, very large gas resource.”
Israel depends on stealing oil and gas resources from Palestine as it seeks to be an energy superpower in the region.
From Richmond to Palestine, communities have a right to steward their land and determine their future. But over the past three months, Israeli Occupation Forces have bombed hospitals, homes, and nurseries in Gaza, killing over 25,000 Palestinians and burying countless more under the rubble. The survivors are left to die slowly, as Israel cuts off access to food, clean water, and gas to 2.2 million people.
The remaining medical equipment that survives Israeli bombardment cannot be turned on. Because of the Israeli blockade on diesel and gasoline, families must flee to refugee camps and carry their injured loved ones to hospitals on foot. Mere miles away, Israel provides its own residents with an uninterrupted flow of warmth, light, medical care, and cooking fuel.
As Richmond and East Bay residents, as environmental justice organizers, as people of color and people of conscience, we say: enough is enough. Permanent ceasefire now. No more U.S funds for genocide. Not one penny more for corporations supporting this occupation.

portrait of an artist in play
One of my favorite things about Louis Tomlinson is that he evolves. He is conscientious and consistent in making his gratitude for his fans’ support known but, at times has, somewhat inexplicably, seemed wary of his own evolution. He should know by now that we are with him even if I fear for my health, if not my support, if he evolves much more.  
His evolution was on full display last night in Berkeley where he was a very different artist from the one who played the Paramount Theater just over a year ago. If the feeling of his first tour was intimate and a little cautious, one word to describe his Faith in the Future tour would be accomplished. The man has levelled up: taking the staging (those fabulous screens and the images on them), the lighting, his band, his performance and certainly his music with him. The sound on his vocal could have been louder as it was sometimes hard to hear him above the Louie chorus.  He commented that it was hard to hear himself but if that is the price to pay for the beautiful outdoor settings, then so be it.
Louis was in command of the setting and the material. It was obvious, even before he said it, that he is enjoying performing this collection.  Opening with the blast of The Greatest all the way to the happy jangle of “I don’t feel like going home”, this is a great set. Even though Saturdays went missing (Berkeley has some stringent ordinances, it was likely a spur of moment decision as they ran up to time), there were so many gems that, at the end of the night, our ears still ringing, a lot of people were puzzled as to if Louis had skipped performing Saturdays or if we had already buried it among the procession of high notes.  
I don’t think Louis was expecting quite the errr, audience participation for High in California but he certainly appreciated it.  “It smells fucking fantastic in here”, he said, as the sensaround experience finished and the scented air wafted through. He didn’t take as well to the Bay Area’s own special air conditioning effect making the fog machines redundant, calling it “fucking freezing”,  even though we locals were enjoying the mild night after a chilly summer.
The other big difference between this tour and his prior one is the audience. It is is so much more varied. Still majority female but there were all kinds of ages, including family groups and a lot more males around. An awful lot of people knew all the words but it’s always a highlight to witness a conversion arc. My favorite was the guy near me who started the night with a long suffering dad stance, his phone ready for alternate entertainment.  He was on his feet several songs in and - yes, there was shoulder shimmying - by the end. His teenagers in tow may have been bemused but the broadening of the audience is a positive thing.  I ran into a photographer friend at the end who was there professionally. This is someone who is continually working all kinds of performance and he was fizzing. “Great show. Great fucking show. That was fun”, he said.
There would be my other word for the night. After shaking off the oversized swaddling of his first tour, it feels like Louis is still emerging into a fuller self but from the teenagers beside me shedding happy tears at finally seeing Louis live to the girl screaming down Piedmont Avenue about how the pit was “the chillest, bestest, nicest GA” she’d ever ever been in ever, to the group of older women swapping, “so much fun. Just fun” comments, Louis has kept the warmth and acceptance of his earlier shows and added on new levels of confidence and accomplishment. It was fun. A lot of fun.

Staff Pick of the Week
The end of the semester and year is approaching quickly, so I feel that it is only appropriate that I discuss a book about the end times. My staff pick this week is Arne Wolf's (1929-2013) unique typographic version of the Revelation of St. John the Divine printed in Berkeley, California in an edition of 25 copies in 1996. Consisting of elements solely in red and black on cream paper, this book seems chaotic and confusing at times, as the reader constantly needs to change angles to read the text, while they are also bombarded with abstracted full-page illustrations. Wolf’s repetitious typographic schema emphasize the repetition in the text itself, which grounds the reader in the sometimes confusing, word-filled pages of his book, much like the end of an academic semester!
Arne Wolf was a calligrapher, artist and teacher who made a variety of books, usually using solely black and red type, which can be seen throughout the pages of this book.
Tumblr media
Designed and produced by Wolf himself, this book was handset from 20th Century metal type and various wood types and printed on Rives Lightweight with binding by John DeMerritt.
Our copy is a gift from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick, which also donated two other books by Wolf: Genesis: The Generations of Adam and The First Joke of Willingdone from Finnegans Wake, which also highlight his preferred method of typographic creation consisting of bold types and a consistent color scheme.

Gerbrand Ceder, professor of materials science and engineering and senior faculty scientist at Berkeley Lab, is moving his research into a new space – quite literally. 
Berkeley Lab’s A-Lab automates synthesizing materials that have been designed computationally, dramatically speeding up a typically slow and laborious process. According to Ceder, not only is this a potential game-changer for battery research, but this new approach may mark the biggest innovation in materials research in the last 70 years.
