Jonathan Richman is in the middle of his annual Chico residency. Why #ChicoCA? Cuz he lives here!

Three seated shows at our little theater, three shows at the coffee shop where we host all-ages #punk shows, and a Father’s Day show at an outdoor venue this year.

It’s rad to see JR strolling around with his guitar and making up songs about your friends or chatting with him after a movie, but these little shows are such a treat. (You can also hire Jonathan to build you a backyard pizza oven.)

A few photos from the 2026 Sei Boku Bonsai Kai show in #SanMateo. I drove down to hang out with a friend in Oakland on Friday, and then attended this #bonsai show on Saturday morning.

Really a nicely sized event with about 35 knockout trees, excellent club sales table, and a few vendors. This shohin redwood in the first pic is about 8 inches tall -- amazing work by Marsha Mekisich.

Got out for some #fishing for the first time in a long time. This is Deer Creek, northwest of #ChicoCA.

Well fuck yeah! Another surprise 2026 album from another excellent band that I never expected to hear a new song from (the other band was Neurosis).
