 Author Nikki Meredith will discuss her recent book, The Manson Women & Me: Monsters, Morality & Murder in a live interview conducted by her daughter, Caitlin Meredith.
Part memoir and part true-crime narrative, The Manson Women and Me is an unflinching examination of Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel, two seemingly normal young women who took a dark journey into the very heart of evil. Nikki Meredith is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in The Pacific Sun, The Marin Independent Journal, Psychology Today, The San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle, and California Living, among others. She is a former probation officer, a licensed family therapist, and a former NPR reporter. Caitlin Meredith, Nikki’s daughter, has a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Texas and a master’s in Public Health from Tulane. She has worked in the Actual Innocence clinic at the University of Texas law school, and currently works as a criminal legal defense consultant. Because of her criminal justice involvement and her experience with many of the issues raised in the book, her mother asked her to write the foreword to “The Manson Women and Me.” Location: The Outdoor Art Club, One West Blithedale, Mill Valley, CA 94941 Please tell a friend and bring a friend to this Free Open to the Public Evening Event. No tickets are required. Light refreshments will be served at 7:00 pm and the program will begin at 7:30 pm.

BHOC offers free screenings and live music in parks and venues around “The Hill,” September 6-8 and October 2, 2018. This year is a big one! Bernal Heights Outdoor Cinema celebrates its 15th anniversary. Once again, following in a long-held movie tradition, BHOC invites the entire neighborhood to help “put on a show.” The annual end-of-summer film festival is known for its screenings in the neighborhood’s commercial spaces and on the grassy slopes of city-owned neighborhood mini-parks, playgrounds and open spaces. The festival presents a four-night series at four separate sites throughout the neighborhood of Bernal Heights. (Visit http://bhoutdoorcine.org/for details.) The talented filmmakers come from all over! Continuing its long-standing practice of working with other film festivals, BHOC has invited a broad range of co-presenters to explore the diverse voices and interests of Bernal Heights and the surrounding area. They include:

Moss, with The Injuries of Time Dale; and Shani Heckman, with The House on Lucky Street-- all Bernal folks. BHOC doesn’t put on its show in a barn, as they did in those old movies. It enjoys the hospitality of neighborhood shops and open spaces. 
At the screenings, Bernal people are visible everywhere, helping the event run smoothly. They provide refreshments. They operate the projection equipment. They hand out programs. And many more are busy behind the scenes. Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland would approve! Schedule: Thursday, 9/6, 7:00 to 9:30 pm. Opening Night. Reception and films.

Check out the fabulous entertainment LineUp here. Don't miss this super fun event! About Frontier Works
Bulleit Frontier Works is a series of projects and collaborations with cultural creators who live on the modern frontier. It highlights interesting places at the edge of culture and celebrate not only our individual partners, but the larger communities they belong to. The modern cultural frontier isn’t a physical place. It’s a shared purpose among people who are constantly pushing boundaries to create something new, interesting and unique. For one of its latest Frontier Works projects, Bulleit has partnered with artist, Kelly Tunstall in San Francisco to re-imagine a standard bottle impression. About Kelly Tunstall: Working in acrylic, collage, spray paint, pencil, pen and ink, gold leaf and some secret sauce, Kelly’s experimental, yet classically grounded works live somewhat comfortably in a space between graphic expression, stylized representation, surrealism and sketch. The patina of age and calligraphic drawing methods lend further depth to her story-filled worlds. Tunstall has shown nationally and internationally, often in collaboration with her husband, Ferris Plock. Her work is on permanent view at the restaurants a16 and Bar Crudo, both in San Francisco and at Alcazar and Cheeky's located in Palm Springs. Her following includes technologists and rockstars, fashionistas and foodies alike.  In celebration of the launch of Bay Club Signature class IGNITE, Bay Club will host an IGNITE-a-thon, a morning of back-to-back-to-back classes at the brand new studio at Bay Club SF on Saturday, August 25th. The event will be free and open to the public. THE BAY CLUB COMPANY’S IGNITE-A-THON Image Credit: Bay Club  The Bay Club Introduces GlideFit, a new pool class this summer at Bay Club Gateway!
