Grace stopped using myspace so she could get to know people better (it's not so easy to get to know a picture of an elephant named forgetful2008 for instance). Messages and comments at this myspace page are not checked. Please connect at gracewoodsmusic.com or e-mail gracewoods(at)gmail.com. Members of the e-mail list on gracewoodsmusic.com receive show updates, free mp3s and more. Bookers will also find more up to date info on press and other accomplishments there.
Are you ready for a different kind of show? The Dock Sessions: Acoustic & Indie Music, Art on display by local artists, Andy's Bueno Salsa, and images of stars & galaxies projected in the background (in honor of the International Year of Astronomy 2009).
Open mic after Linus is done! This time, there are lots of drink specials! Only $2 validated parking! See you there.
Tom Ammaniano (state assemblyman from San Francisco) just introduced a
bill into the state assembly to tax and regulate marijuana as we do
alcohol -- i.e., it would be legalized, taxed, and regulated. Like
alcohol, sales would be limited to folks over 21, penalties would be in
place for dui, sale to minors, etc. in other words, it sounds like the
right approach. The bill's official number is AB390, and more info will probably be available soon at www. norml. org and www. mpp. org.
If you have a minute, call and/or email your state assembly person and
Senator to encourage them to support the bill. You can look up their
contact info online based on your zip code:
http://www. legislature. ca. gov/port-zipsearch. html.
Feel free to pass this along. The bill is fighting an uphill battle
against a vast legacy of misguided and uninformed policy, and it will
only have a chance of passing if people speak up in favor.
This bill will provide California with one billion dollars of revenue each year (each ounce is taxed $50)
