    Check out the awesome music videos for "Stop, Drop and Roll!" and "Mother Mary" on YouTube. Hurry before Warner decides to take them down again! They should've been released, in my opinion. Enjoy!

    Last night Billie Joe and Jason White hooked up with their sideband Pinhead Gunpoweder to play some gigs at 924 Gilman Street, Green Day's old stomping ground. It was a benefit concert for a friend of thiers who has breast cancer. You can check out Pictures and Video here on the Green Day Authority. Personally, I think Billie wears a dress pretty well. :D Great to see them out again!

My Book…
Posted by Delfina

A book I co-wrote with my friend Richard has been published and will be out in January. It has nothing to do with Green Day. It’s a handbook about working in egalitarian collectives (an example of a collective that you’ve all heard of is Gilman St.). I used to volunteer with a few. The one I’m most fond of is Food Not Bombs.

You can read a description and an excerpt here. There are more excerpts in the publisher’s catalog (pdf), on pages 8 and 9. Comics are by Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness.

CONGRATULATIONS Delfina. I am so sincerely thrilled for you and look forward to reading it.

That’s so cool that you wrote a book! It sounds really interesting.

Comment from Jaime December 19, 2009, 11:18 pm

This is awesome, D! I used to volunteer at an anarchist book shop in DC that was run as a collective, so this looks really interesting to me! Congrats!

Comment from Amanda December 20, 2009, 2:06 am

Congratulations! Can’t wait to read it.

Comment from Delfina December 20, 2009, 1:50 pm

Thanks for all your nice words! :)

Comment from Moonbeam December 20, 2009, 5:53 pm

(random question) Is it published by a mainstream company os self published?

Comment from Delfina December 21, 2009, 1:07 am

It’s not self-published, and it’s also not published by a large mainstream publisher. AK Press is a publisher and distributor of radical books that has been around for quite a while and is well known in the political/radical scene. (It’s kind of like an independent record label vs. a major label.)

Comment from Elly December 21, 2009, 11:05 am

:D Congrats, Delfina! It actually sounds interesting and I like the cover. ;) I love how you compared the publisher to an independent label- how punk rock of you,haha.:D Congrats again!!

Comment from Barb December 21, 2009, 3:18 pm

Congratulations, Delfina! Looking forward to reading it –sounds very interesting!

Comment from Moonbeam December 22, 2009, 6:41 pm

@Delfina: Oh cool thanks, I was just wondering.

Comment from Tanya December 23, 2009, 10:00 am

Sounds like a much needed handbook on the process. Congratulations, Delfina!

Comment from Barb February 10, 2010, 5:53 pm

Hi Delfina. Haven’t seen anything from you in a while. Hope all is well. Just wanted to tell you that I got your book, and am thrilled. I don’t have a collective, but a business/family thing that I have been struggling with. Haven’t finished it, but was grabbed by the part about talking to people ahead of time — trying to influence them, etc. A real problem I have been experiencing, and something I recently recognized. You really clarified it for me. Great book, thanks!
