Here are a few events and happenings that are coming up that we think you should be aware of.
This being the 40th anniversary of The Summer of Love, there will be many celebrations but two to remember are:
1. July 28th and 29th in Monterey, California at the Monterey Fairgrounds is the 40th anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival, though called "The Summer of Love" this year.
Please visit: www.summer67.com.
John Allen Cassady and Jerry Cimino, the owner of The Beat Museum in San Francisco, will have a booth there. Please stop by and say hello!
Visit Jerry @ www.thebeatmuseum.org.
2. Sunday, September 2nd, is the Summer of Love Festival in San Francisco (where it all began) in Golden Gate Park. Randy and Jami Cassady will be there, hope to see you there, too! If you recognize us, please say hello!
3. A friend of Jack’s and now a great friend of John Allen’s and Carolyn’s, David Amram, has finished his latest orchestral work, Symphonic Variations on a Song by Woody Guthrie. The debut will be in San Jose, Saturday, September 29th with Paul Polivnick conducting the Symphony Silicon Valley. John, Randy and Jami are looking forward to this special event. David was instrumental in the great Beat cinematic classic, Pull My Daisy. 
Another special event was a reunion of John Allen’s garage band, The Weasel’s. Sorry to say it was Sunday, July 22, 2007. But here is a great picture of the band at John Allen’s surprise 50th birthday party at Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz, Sept. 9, 2001.
Randy and Jami are now able to offer prints of artist Frank Ware’s pen and ink lithograph of Neal Cassady (taken from one of Carolyn’s photographs). The drawing of Neal is the famous "Joan Anderson Letter", the letter Neal wrote to Jack Keroauc, published in Neal Cassady’s book, The First Third. The letter is hand written by Frank, starting at Neal’s right eye and continuing.....The original lithograph was signed by both Frank and Carolyn dated 9-19-82.
The prints are the same size as the original, 18" x 24". The price is $25.00 which includes shipping within the continental United States and $38.00 for shipment to International addresses. Cashiers check or money orders only at this time, we are working to set up Pay Pal. Thank you!
