East Bay Express belongs to Village Voice Media that belongs to New Times
Media which owns all the newspapers from Santa Cruz and the entire bay area
except for the Chronicle which own by Hearst.  Hearst, however is invested
in New Times Media.

They control the print media and decides what real news is by the fact that
print media still employs the most full time journalists.

Nice to get an article about the scene.  I tried to find the article on the
East Bay Express site but it didn't come up in a search.  I guess I'll have
to find the paper version.

Here is the letter to the editor link

And here is a lists all the writers for the Express company.  If we want
attention they be the ones we want to write to or get to the shows.

a link to so you can see what columns they have written.
Ahh for some time to attend to promotion/ education or maybe harrasment. (is
the stress on the first syllable or the second?)

That is a lame and irrelevant analogy. Please try again.

As far as "bowing down" to the East Bay Express goes, well I'm not
advocating that. Obviously, it's a completely stupid, corporate rag. Still,
after all these years, I can't help but notice the cycle of a) bitching
about not getting any press and then b) picking it apart, line by line, when
it actually happens.

I'm not sure what reaction folks expect when they blow into the bell of
their trumpet, but I'd say take a cue from Cage (see the YouTube clip
referenced here last week) and expect laughter and derision, show grace and
good humor in the face of it, and then kick ass in spite of it.

And finally, concerning "Escape from 21Grand":
an endless jam, with mostly dudes, and a couple of bottles of Two-Buck
Chuck? Uh, I think I'm out of town that week...

love,
George
