thedailywhat: Follow Up of the Day: Well, it was fun while it lasted, but it turns out that’s not Jon Leibowitz AKA Jon Stewart getting his mosh on at a 1982 Dead Kennedys show in Richmond, VA. The person in the photo is actually Red Cross/Prevaricators bassist (and Jon Stewart doppelganger) Alford Faulkner. Old-school RVA punk Doug Dobey gave Faulkner a call this morning, and he confirmed the photo is of him at a July 23rd, 1982 Dead Kennedys show which took place at the now-defunct Casablanca. For what it’s worth, it could totally have been him, if not for the hair. [rvamag / thanks andrew!] Ha! I was about to ask annicka what the Jon Stewart goes to punk show meme was all about and if she was patient zero. loling.

Well, the CHP does not accept donations but I still might put some of my photos up for auction and donate the proceeds to the Vacaville rescue service who was also involved.

KOVR also called me this morning and interviewed me and the CHP crew about the rescue and the story will be on the air tonight at 5:00PM.

Always bring a flashlight.

This time last night I was waiving down a helicopter with the light from the screen on the back of my camera and my undershirt.

Full story to follow tomorrow.

You can read a short version of the story here.

I will be selling a few large framed photos of mine (and a limited edition shirt on tumblr) at auction and all proceeds will go to repaying them for the rescue. I was the 12th person to get lost in that area this month.


I was expecting a Sheriff I could buy a beer afterward… A dozen cars showed up (firetrucks, ambulances, police)… and a helicopter.

“ So if you’re a big bank or financial institution, you are no longer allowed to make risky bets with your customers’ deposits. You’re required to write out a “living will” that details exactly how you’ll pay the bills if you fail – because the rest of us aren’t bailing you out ever again. And if you’re a mortgage lender or a payday lender or a credit card company, the days of signing people up for products they can’t afford with confusing forms and deceptive practices are over.

“ But with only 2 percent of the world’s oil reserves, oil isn’t enough. This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy – a strategy that’s cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs. […]

I will not cede the wind or solar or battery industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make the same commitment here. We have subsidized oil companies for a century. That’s long enough. It’s time to end the taxpayer giveaways to an industry that’s rarely been more profitable, and double-down on a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising. Pass clean energy tax credits and create these jobs.

“ Take the money we’re no longer spending at war, use half of it to pay down our debt, and use the rest to do some nation-building right here at home.

“ An economy built to last is one where we encourage the talent and ingenuity of every person in this country. That means women should earn equal pay for equal work.

“ Teachers matter. So instead of bashing them, or defending the status quo, let’s offer schools a deal. Give them the resources to keep good teachers on the job, and reward the best ones. In return, grant schools flexibility: To teach with creativity and passion; to stop teaching to the test; and to replace teachers who just aren’t helping kids learn.

“ At a time when Americans owe more in tuition debt than credit card debt, this Congress needs to stop the interest rates on student loans from doubling in July. Extend the tuition tax credit we started that saves middle-class families thousands of dollars. And give more young people the chance to earn their way through college by doubling the number of work-study jobs in the next five years.
