Finally watched “If this ever gets weird” documentary, highly recommend for any at the drive-in / de facto / Mars Volta fans; the archival footage alone is worth a watch.

A flyer for the event Essay as form being held June 1 at the marsh cabaret theater in downtown Berkeley beginning at 11:30am. The image features author photos next to smaller photos of covers from their latest books. A flier detailing the dates of the 2025 Bay Area book festival ranging from May 31 to June 1. The background features the outlines of books seemingly falling from the sky.

thanks everyone who came to the Crafting the Memoir in Essays panel, ft. Erica Berry, Emily Raboteau, Freda Epum and organized / moderated by Nicole Graev Lipson 🙌🏽
inside of a large indoor convention center room, a capacity crowd sits and waits for a panel program to begin. Fluorescent lights are overhead in rows. The audience is in two sections divided by a large middle aisle. Five authors stand for a group photo. From left to right, Erica Berry, Emily Raboteau, Freda Epum, José Vadi and Nicole Graev Lipson.
