Come celebrate San Francisco values!

Stick it to GOP Puritans with Salon founder David Talbot, special guest Oliver Stone and other culture war heroes

Published May 4, 2012 9:00PM (EDT)

The release party for “Season of the Witch” will be a celebration of the San Francisco values of social tolerance and experimentation, as explored in David Talbot’s new book. This event will feature music and art of the 1967-‘82 era as well as speakers recounting some of the wild stories that defined this explosive time. Guests include director Oliver Stone, who will discuss how films like “The Doors” channeled the demonic energy of the period, and how his love for the San Francisco 49ers was reflected in “Any Given Sunday.” Other special guests include Scrumbly Koldewyn and Fayette Hauser of the infamous drag queen troupe the Cockettes; Peter Lewis of the legendary band Moby Grape; activist Cleve Jones; and other political, sports and literary luminaries.

Date: Friday May 18, 2012, 7:30 p.m. - 10 p.m.

Location: 1687 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
