O.k., lots of fun stuff to think about, and to do: I’ve set it up so that if you live anywhere near New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles, there will be a “Riot on Sunset Strip Film Festival” near you. Please check out:

There’s lots of cool pictures here as well, and a link to watch Lloyd Bridges driving “The Silhouette” for a couple of minutes… along with some groovy Love, and Brian Wilson “Smile” stuff.

In L.A., I’m doing a “Beatnik Sunset Strip” slide show at Skylight Books in Los Feliz, Thursday, June 26 (free), then the following Sunday (June 29), will be hosting two documentaries at The American Cinematheque’s Egyptian Theater… the Love documentary Love Story, and one on jazz vibraphonist/arranger Gary McFarland This is Gary McFarland. Both events start at 7 p.m.

In New York, it will be the “Riot on Sunset Strip Film Series,” over two months of midnight movies at The IFC Center in Greenwich Village, each weekend starting July 25.

In San Francisco, The Red Vic Movie House on Haight Street will feature the “Riot on Sunset Strip Weekend” featuring Riot on Sunset Strip, The Trip, You Are What You Eat and the Love documentary Love Story. This will happen August 28 through 31st.

So, have a look, it’s an easy thing to peruse, and a lot of fun this summer to come from it.

Yours truly,
