I'm kinda depressed.

Big 4 'Freakin 9
'lookin at me.

I still I can beat this
aging thing and I'm not alone folks.

by Joe B.

Tiny and I to race City Hall by van.

Today people are mostly held their anger at Mayoral hopeful Supervisor though there are shouts, signs, loud murmurs about Gavin Newsom.

One good thing I didn’t bring my backpack so the guard and metal detector didn’t take long going in this time.

A few of the speakers are Mr. Darrel Walker, regular citizen, Comedian/Political Activist Bill Anderson (is that right) and Mr. Abdullah Megahed/Homeless Activist and Legally blind who also will speak to Care Not Cash debate.

All I do is take photo’s as directed by Tiny and hoping some are worth a newspapers insert and I get a film credit.

Folks, I’m also available for commercial, voice over work, and already have a Ask Joe. Holding Up The Sky.

Also currently working on short stories – I’m need of a Literary Agent also.

That’s enough personal plugging.

The crowed are full of so many people against N and vocal about it the place could’ve been adjourned it didn’t come to that as people saw it would defeat the purpose of having a public hearing on the subject of leaving people with $59 monthly many sheltered or not with the care or services curiously in suspended.

Mr. Newsom, listened with patience, asking question, poised showed professional care with all at the podium.

The man is polished, awake, and ready with both questions and answers.

After more shots of people, asking if the wish to decline being photographed which is the right of every citizen though most people don’t mind.

I myself wouldn’t want media in my grill either. Big media is there from KRON News, ABC-7, KCBS, and CBS-5.

I’m sure there are other news-feeds but since flashing folks with a throw-away camera I could not be sure which but I know it wasn’t all English Telemundo –14 (if I’m in error)

Excuse me, running around with paper, pen take pictures, getting names is a slight distraction.
Note to self by digital recorder next when I can.

Later the van heads back to POOR Magazine headquarters. 5 years later, I’m still not use to quickie "Guerrilla Journalism" That’s the media biz for you.
