Burnham's Grand Plan Strikes Back

More on this as plans progress...

Clear Your Schedules

For a ski/protest trip to Denver, August 25-28.

It may force you to take a mid-week vacation, but that's when the Dems have scheduled their National Convention. We suppose a Monday-Thursday primetime spectacle will make for better television viewing than a weekend convention. Still, it means All Star Street Crew members will need to start clearing schedules now in order to protest the inevitable Clinton chicanery that will go down in D-Town.

Plus there's already talk of a mid-convention white water rafting trip (provided we can't find an artificial snow maker or a summer ski-jump).

In Another Lifetime

Sound the clarion call. Rouse the hounds and light the lamps. Forget whispers over the prairie. And don't bother retelling the sing-song story of a chorus of voices. The shadow draws near. The time of need has come.

And so our time has also come.

Since our last meeting - nearly one year ago - our ranks have thinned. Yet time marches on, undaunted. And so we must stand steadfast in our resolve.

Our spirits have lagged, but our mission remains the same: Imbibe fine spirits, cause general rabble-rousery, support intellectual pursuits, protect those who stand for progress, and call out those who stand in its way.

As Chicagoans Jake and Elwood once said, "We're getting the band back together."

The Barack Obama/ Desmond Dekker All Star Street Crew, Union & Blues Revue is back in business.

Let those who will join us hear the message. Fear-mongering, sobriety and partisan politics be damned. We will stand strong.
