greetings from venice beach, my love. i was wondering if it were within the realm of possibility that Mr. Kerouac might let me park in his driveway, should i ever manage to find myself in the sunshine state? please tell him that out of respect for dharma, i would rake leaves, wash dishes, order pizza, howl at the waxing gibbous orb that drives me mad at this very moment, and otherwise behave myself and observe protocol pertaining to the driveway and the surroundings thereof. notwithstanding, i am yours anyway, and may, out of kindness, just stay in venice, since i'll probably catch fire trying to flee the scene. i am, most sincerely, yours truly ROGER HOUSTON, the poet formerly known as rf. iloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyou to infinity, venice (cooler in north beach, literally)

"Alfred Eaker's Jesus And Her Gospel Of Yes was definitely a trip. As in a journey. the non-stop bombardment of images and anti-rhetoric was liberating and exhausting simultaneously. It reminded me of Hobbs' Roseland (and other psychedelic Something Weird titles), the Sub-Genius film Arise!, Kenneth Anger, and the low-rent lunacy of Michael D Moore (the 'other' Michael Moore)... all fused into one jaw-dropping melange. craziness of the first order...and that is a recommendation". -Henry Covert, "Video Autopsy"
This beautiful movie, put together by Alfred Eaker, is a marvel of technology and art, but it's probably not for everyone. This movie is a hodge-podge of bizarre imagery and sounds. It's wonderfully put together and Mr. Eaker shows an amazing skill at layering images upon images to put together what can only be described as a video work of art. If you're a fan of experimental films then Jesus and Her Gospel of Yes is a must see movie-By Brian Morton Rogue Cinema

"A beautiful morning - red pristine shafts of sunlight coming in over the hill and slanting down into the cold trees like cathedral light, and the mists rising to meet the sun, and all the way around the giant secret roar of tumbling creeks probably with films of ice in the pools." - The Dharma Bums
