http://www.thesunrunner.com/ Ahoy mateys, I wanted to invite you to join me and the crew of There Be Pirates!, Southern California’s premier pirate jam band, at our 70th annual Pioneer Days performance, 8 p.m., Saturday, October 21.  We’ll be doin’ a set of rollicking, jammed out pirate and sea music that’ll have you singing and dancing along.  Word has it that some members of the infamous Port Royal Privateers may be in the crowd (we’ve been invited to perform at their exclusive annual party in November), and if you come dressed like a pirate, you’ll get a little booty. Also, I’ll be playin’ drums with Shawn Mafia and the Ten Cent Thrills at 9 p.m., Friday, October 20 at Pioneer Days, and there will be lots of other great entertainment from me mates in Really Shooo, the Barking Pupfish, The Dead Rebels, and other great bands.  It’s all at Luckie Park in 29 Palms from Thursday, October 19 through Sunday, October 22, and it’s all free.  In addition to the music, there’ll be rides, games of skill and chance, good food, a beer garden, outhouse races, and all sorts of wild mayhem.  Luckie Park is  just a bit north on Utah Trail off the highway in 29 Palms. For the whole entertainment schedule, please click on this link below: http://www.thesunrunner.com/

So, please join us at Pioneer Days for some great music under the desert stars.  Ye’ll be glad ye did. Thankee kindly, Shanghai Brown

steve- i enjoyed reading darlene’s description of the drive home through our lovely dark joshua tree afer the town meeting last night. it was heartening to see so many there..somewhere around 60 people, extra chairs were pulled in. phelps was lauded by the commission for being a good neighbor and business leader but i kept wondering why he or a rep couldn’t show up if the rest of us could. i don’t want to assume it was a case of arrogance, but it was at best thoughtless.  it is imperative that the oct 17 have at least as many in the audience as there were last night. really, everybody who loves the constellations overhead as much as you & i do should make a point of being there. love on, tq

SteveO,  

As a matter of protocol, I’d like to point out to the musicians who would like to cave my skull in, to please wait in line.  Nothing could be more rude than simply pushing your way to the front of the stage when others have waited patiently for this opportunity. I’m willing to take on all comers, but in an orderly, gentlemanly fashion.  jb - now serving #6  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THANK YOU STEVE……OOOOOO

Swami- Thanks for the great piece in ‘notes from the trail’. I hope you don’t mind if I reprint it in my newsletter (JAMS- Joshua Tree Association of Musicians and Songwriters).  

I have been so discouraged by the political situation that I’ve been feeling helpless (although I have written some scathing and some silly songs). Hope to see you soon. Love to Trudy also.  Steve Lester

Thanks, Steve.  Great to hear from you!  And yes, you most definitely reprint for the JAMS .. which we need to kick out!  Say hi to Joshua Tree, and hope to actually connect one of these times.

Hello Friends,  

You may have seen news stories about the so called crisis in California’s prisons.  The Governor has made an Executive Order to seek Requests for Proposals to build new (private) prisons in the state, and to fast track the process.  Riverside County is fast tracking an application from a Houston, Texas company to build a 500 bed, 38 acre prison at Eagle Mountain.  Attached are the comments submitted by our attorney to the Planning Department.  The link below will take you to a web site that shows the 3rd prison riot at Eagle Mountain, when a private company, Managemnt Training Corp ran it.  

The prison system is broken, and building more is not the answer.  Maybe revoking the 3 strikes law would empty a lot of non-violent inmate beds.  Maybe our society ought to pour a lot of  the money currently put in prison system into our educational system.  I could go on, but won’t.  The video is a gruesome example of privatizing prisons and the impact on inmates (2 murdered during the riot), and the community.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uokGY1nG7A8  

In Solidarity, Donna
