Punk Rock Weekend

Punk Rock Weekend.  Friday night after work, I caught the tail end of the reception at La Luz de Jesus for Ruby Ray's show of images from the late 70's LA/SF music scene.  For the of us still remembering and mourning the recent loss of Brendan Mullen, there is a beautiful image of his reflection in a mirror standing next to Darby Crash.  Just an amazing image catching a moment in time.  Got Ruby Ray with Punk Globe's Ginger Coyote.

Saturday, it was off to Pedro.  If you're only going to see Watt once in your life (hard to do, he plays all the time all over the world), then Harold's Place is where you should go.  Locals and music fans mix for the love of rock and roll, or is it Budweiser?  This was a record release party for Water Under the Bridge's release of pre-Minutemen material.  Ton's of musicians covering all the songs on the album.  Mike Watt doing bass and backup vocals on the first song, having a blast and grabbing the mic for last song here.
