Reverend Billy

Reverend Billy (who is in town for “What Would Jesus Buy?” at SF DocFest) is meeting up with Chicken John tomorrow night (Tuesday, October 2nd) at 8pm for an intimate conversation at Chez Poulet in San Francisco. Here’s more from Chicken:

Rev. Billy is in town and since I’m running for Mayor we decided to talk a little. Wanna come? We are going to talk a little about art, activism, affecting culture and politics and see what makes this guy tick. Talk show style. I think it’ll be fun. Rev. Billy just premiered his movie at the Roxy just in time for Christmas… he’s here staying at my house anyway, mine as well make him sing for his supper. Between my running for/from Mayor and him trying to ruin Christmas for everyone it might just be an interesting conversation. His wife, Savitri D will also be there. I think she is generally smarter and better looking then him. With less hair products. My house is 3359 Army Street @ Mission. We can only seat like 100 people.

UPDATE: Steve Rhodes has some photos of the Reverend Billy & Chicken John talk.

I very much hope there is going to be video or audio from their conversation.

Is there an RSVP, or should we just show up?

I like the way this entire post omits that Chicken John ingraitiated himself to Rev. Billy by allowing him to stay at his home while he’s in town, via their connection through mutual friend John Law.

This campaign has been a gem, you get to see that the “hipsters” of the underground scene are as corrupt an old-boy network as any you’ll find, with all sorts of backroom favors and connections that nobody discloses publicly. Next up: Why is Pirate Cat Radio promoting Chicken John so strongly, and, what’s that shiny new antenna on his roof?

Oh, it does say it. Never mind. Leave it to Chicken to be honest just when it’s most frustrating for him to be.

We stand by our other comments, though.
