Bay Area!!!! One week from today. The Coup will rock the legendary Hiero Day! If you've heard about it you know that there'll thousands there, you know to get there early, and you know that Hiero Day will become one of your favorite festivals ever. It starts at noon and goes til about 7pm. The Coup will hit the stage a little after 4, but do not miss everyone else that comes before. In past years, the festival has been free admission. This year they are charging $19.93 as admission. It costs a lot to make this hapen. BUT- youth and elders are FREE. PLUS- I am told that if folks actually can't afford the ticket price, they can send an email to the organizers and get a free ticket (presumably by hitting "contact the organizer" on the ticket buying page. It's gonna be wild this year. See you there. Where ever you are now, get here to Oakland by next week.

St. Louis! I'll be out there this Saturday with Tom Morello, Jessica Care Moore, Outernational and more. Note: I will be coming out there solo and collaborating with folks. It's not a Coup show.

Headed to the post office to finally fulfill kickstarter book orders. This is just the first load. Thanks to everyone who waited so patiently, and to those who waited not-so-patiently. It's finally happening. Thank you to the great group of folks who helped make boxes and package these. It was a lot of work! Thanks to Gabby Lala for slapping the postage on while I tape gunned.

Check out all the cool people I have blurbing me on the back of my book of lyrics and anecdotes, "Tell Homeland Security: We Are The Bomb". Then go check out the book. They have it at Haymarketbooks.com.
