Vermin and the plague

You would think vermin and pandemics would work well together, but that hasn't been the case. In my last newsletter nine months ago, I talked about how we'd been booted out of our previous venue in San Diego by the forces of gentrification. Well, we found a new location in Barrio Logan and made plans to take Vermin on the road and then COVID-19 happened. 

There are plenty of literary events that can thrive online via video technology. Vermin on the Mount isn't one of them. When it's safe to gather in public spaces, Vermin will return. Until then we'll stay underground. 

In the meantime I have some personal news to share with you. Do What You Want, my new book with Southern California punk legends Bad Religion, will be released on Tuesday, August 18. I'll be doing a Virtual Book Launch with the band that evening at 4pm PST. I'll also be moderating a discussion with Bad Religion in an event sponsored by Book Soup on Wed. 8/19 at 6pm PST. These events are free and open to the public, but registration is required. The book has been getting some press, which I've collected on my website. If you're so inclined, it's not too late to pre-order.

I've been working on this book for the better part of three years and it's been a great experience that has taken me all over the world. I'm currently working on a few other punk and punk-adjacent projects, which I'll be announcing in my weekly newsletter once the excitement over Do What You Want dies down. If you're not already a subscriber, it's a great way to stay in touch. 

I sincerely hope the next time you hear from me it will be to invite you to attend a Vermin on the Mount event. I hope 2020 hasn't been too hard on you and your family, and that you've been able to make a little mischief and a lot of art (or vice versa). 

Much love to you all, 
Jim
