Salad Days: A Decade of Punk in Washington, D.C.
Providence, Rhode Island, Premiere: Words and footage by Boog.
Photos and footage by Brian Simmons of Atomic Action Records.
Friday night, April 10, 2015, Brian Simmons of Atomic Action Records & AS220 hosted a screening of Salad Days: A Decade of Punk in Washington, D.C. Shawn Brown (Dag Nasty, Swiz, Red Hare) was hanging out, cool as ever. Big Mouth & Sweet Jesus played after. How can you not like this movie? Dischord Records, D.C. hardcore.. Any 3 fans out there?
Big Mouth were killer. Sweet Jesus (members of Dropdead & Have Heart) were killer too. Shawn Brown went up and sang a couple of Dag Nasty songs and a Swiz song with them. Have to admit... got a few goose bumps...

When a government is locking up your children is'nt time we protect them from the Government? Or as Howard Zinn states to disobey with civil disobedience.
Did not override on legislation to Eliminate Mandatory Minimum Drug Sentencing. Legislators will be returning to session to override some of the Governor's vetoes on October 30th. We have heard reports that this bill may not be on their list. Act now to help make sure it is!
Override the Mandatory Minimums Veto
Dear Mimi Budnick,
Take action for a criminal justice policy that is about helping those in need and finding real solutions to increase public safety.
Send a message now to House and Senate Leadership calling for an override to the Governor's veto of the mandatory minimum sentencing legislation. This bill passed overwhelmingly last session in the House & Senate, but now, as the General Assembly plans to go back into session on October 30 we are concerned that mandatory minimum sentencing legislation is not on the list for overrides.
The bill restores discretion to judges to seek remedies appropriate to an individual's situation, including rehabilitation and treatment. It was the only positive criminal justice legislation passed.
Please join the call to ensure that the Mandatory Minimums bill is a top priority for legislators. It only takes a few seconds to send this message to House and Senate leadership and to your legislators. Please take the time to join the call for a criminal justice policy that helps those in need and increases public safety.
For more information please call Direct Action for Rights & Equality at (401)351-6960.
Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):
Rhode Island Majority Leader (if you live in Rhode Island)
Rhode Island Majority Leader (if you live in Rhode Island)
Rhode Island President of the Senate (if you live in Rhode Island)
Rhode Island Speaker of the House (if you live in Rhode Island)
Your Representative (if you live in Rhode Island)
Your State Senator (if you live in Rhode Island)
Below is the sample letter:
Subject: Mandatory Minimums - Override the Veto!
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
I am writing to you to express my hope that the House will override the Governor's veto of Representative Almeida's bill 5127 and Senator Mett's bill 207. This bill will eliminate mandatory minimum drug sentencing by restoring discretion to judges in drug related cases so that they can match people with a sentence that makes sense to their individual situation and paves the way for more effective solutions like treatment and rehabilitation. This bill was the only positive criminal justice reform measure to pass in a year when both the Governor and the legislators acknowledged repeatedly that the rising population at the Adult Correctional Institution is putting a strain on the overall state budget.
Opponents of the bill have argued that it is unnecessary and that judges already have the discretion to give people shorter sentences. This is based on the fact that out of a 10 year, or 20 year, mandatory minimum sentence people usually are only sentenced to serve a portion of that in prison and the remainder of their sentence is often suspended. Lengthy suspended sentences are extremely problematic and often result in people going in and out of prison, multiple times during that period, especially if the person has a drug addiction that is going unaddressed.
This bill passed overwhelmingly in the Senate and the House in June and it was generally acknowledged that this bill represents a positive step in the right direction and places RI in line with sentencing reform measures taking place across the nation. We need criminal justice policy that is about helping those in need and finding real solutions and ways to increase public safety. For this reason I am asking you and the other legislators to take action on October 30th and override the veto on bill 5127 and 207.
Sincerely, Mimi Budnick
As220 Broad Street Studios - Providence, RI - Summer Youth Workforce Training
In the summer of 2009, in Providence, RI, an unprecedented collaboration occurred between city government, arts and community based organizations and individual artists to utilize funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to provide workforce training and jobs to young adults ages 14-24. The Department of Art, Culture and Tourism, the Office of Mayor David N. Cicilline and Workforce Solutions of Providence/Cranston came together to provide 260 youth with work training in arts, technology and environmental jobs. Harken Productions trained 6 youth in all aspects of video production and then took on the mission of documenting and filming all of these training programs happening around Providence this summer. The following is a short video of one of the programs we documented.

Providence gets shmacked
9.12.2013: A large gathering outside of The Roxy in Providence waits to get into an event hosted by @ImShmacked Thursday at about 10 p.m. Providence police blocked off the area on Washington Street with cruisers while mounted officers stood nearby. As the rain began falling, the large crowd surged toward the entrance. Police said people were transported to the hospital for alcohol-related issues.

Will you ever forgive Me?

clad in off white silloetts of the past,

Stumbling road blocks, why is there sun burn?
Come to me, Sleep beside me
in bed. For we will enjoy the
Fruits of his labor... They're quite
nice arn't they...? Take me back
This version doesn't repeat itself
what makes the world spin?
I can't quite hear you from here!
I can feel you from here
let the Tides take me to destiny
let me be swallowed by the Wind.
let me be picked Last to play in the schoolyard...
These people won't stop me from this streetlamp
Parades have cheered louder, for my words are soft

Flashback: February 5
Today Rhode Island's unemployment rate is the highest in the nation and has been at or near that level for several years now. Flashback is so far removed from today's reality in RI that it is almost like a dream. The report is from 27 years ago, Feb. 5, 1987. A time when Rhode Island's unemployment rate was so low that, well, the state was considering shutting down some unemployment offices.
