I picked up a few leaves in the woods and put them on my scanner
We went to the Hall of Justice by mistake and got caught up in all the wild press coverage of Greece Police Chief Merritt Rahn’s trial. By the time we got over to City Court the Bulldozer Man had pleaded not guilty and a trial date was set for October 21 at 9:30. We watched about an hour’s worth of young black men as they were arraigned by Judge Elliot. All had public defenders. And then one white shaved head guy in a suit appeared before the Judge with his lawyer. He was looking for some sort of hardship ruling that would let him drive his daughter to daycare even though his license had been revoked for drunk driving. Judge Elliot was very entertaining and he knew it. How else could he get through this endless parade. You could probably stop and and watch any day in you’re downtown.
Rob Storms will be showing his movies of this year’s Burning Man Festival tonight at the Little Theater Café. Margaret Explosion will provide the soundtrack. Big thanks to Marc at Hamilton AV for providing the projector and screen. You won’t believe your eyes or your ears! Hope to see you out.

i hope all popwars readers click on the leaf photo.
Years ago I took a friend to City Court for a shoplifting charge. The guy ahead of her was charged with “Disturbing the Peace” with a noise violation for playing his boombox too loudly in Midtown Plaza.
Judge Schwartz asked him, “Why didn’t you turn it down when the Security Guard asked you to?”
Man said, “I couldn’t hear him!” and everybody burst out laughing.
The Judge let him off with a warning.
That show at the Little was amazingly COOL! I loved seeing the musicians play while they watched the Burningman footage. So spontaneous. Such talented friends!!
