This is my first book, Modern English: A photo illustrated slang dictionary. I had watched somebody put together a couple of books supposedly documenting the punk scene of late 70's San Francisco, and felt that a more impressionistic take on things, by somebody who was actually there and had a slight sense of humor, might be a good idea.

I wrote the Lounge Lizard section on my own, but for the "Cholo" section I consulted Francisco Alercon, feeling I had no right to satirize things outside of my own tiny nightclub knowledge. The photos are beautiful, the book is available from Last Gasp, and can also be found on Alibris.

I recently got to speak to a class at Lowell High in San Francisco who were working on their own slang dictionary. I learned that one can still say "Peace Out" is one is 28 years old or younger, but that "spendy" is out of date.

This is my third bound book, aside from a few chapbooks. It's my photo illlustrated lower middle class autobiography, which covers my life from the ages of 16 to about 18. Galhattan Press published it, and we never really distributed it but you can email me or find probably a couple on ABE, Alibris, or Amazon at wildly varying prices.
