 THOUGHT NOT BOMBS: Dropping Knowledge

On Saturday, September 9th, dropping knowledge brought 112 of the world's greatest movers and shakers — including Cynical Realist Chinese artist Fang Lijun, leftist country singer Steve Earle, Serbian peace activist Vesna Pesic, and German director Wim Wenders — together to sit at the world — largest table in Berlin and field 100 of the most pressing questions of our time. The Table of Free Voices was filmed and recorded, and the documentation is available for public use in cooperation with Creative Commons. Now, with one office in Berlin and one right here in SF, dropping knowledge continues its mission to be an open information resource for the public via its website, where over 20,000 topic threads are interlinked, and community members ask and answer countless philosophical and sociological questions. Log on and join the conversation. (GM)

The Minus One on slide show now playing "The Minus One" is the name of the group Dana Alberts, Liam Hart and Mike Henry started in the eighties. The band released four singles through the "Skate Rock" series through Thrasher Magazine, and appeared on “One Giant Leap”, a compilation record released in England on Venture Records in 1983. The next year, they recorded “Where A Man Was Made,” with Spencer Dryden on drums (Jefferson Airplane drummer) and Naomi Ruth Isenberg (Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks) on violin. Minus One toured the U.S. in 1985 with the VKTMS, the punk band formed by drummer Louis Gwerder and featuring Nyna Crawford. Later that year Alberts was approached by Danny Sugerman, the author and former manager of the “Doors, and Iggy Pop's manager, after Sugerman had heard a tape of the band. This led them to an offer of a record deal from Geffen Records. The band, broke up before the deal could be consummated. They reformed in late 2006, and are be currently rehearsing to play extensively in 2007.
