On June 19, 2010, foolish tree filmed all of the afternoon and evening performances in the upstairs stage at The Marsh in San Francisco. The Marsh is a “breeding ground for new talent” where people like Marga Gomez and Dan Hoyle got their start. Here are short clips of the very talented Randy Rutherford, Erica Lann-Clark and Les Milton.

On April 13th, Evan Ratliff did a benefit talk for one of our favorite organizations, the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He spoke about the contest he underwent for Wired magazine. He “disappeared” from his old identity for a month. Wired’s readers were notified that if they found him, they would win $5000. If he evaded detection for the whole month, he’d win the money. It’s a fascinating look at identities, both physical and digital, in the modern age.
We will be uploading the entire talk as a playlist in the near future, but for now for more info, please check out the podcast of the full event by the very cool folks at Waking Up Orwell.
Evan Ratliff is a freelance journalist and feature writer for Wired, The New Yorker, Outside, The New York Times Magazine, and other publications. He’s also the story editor for Pop-Up Magazine, the world’s first live magazine.

John Baumann and Jennifer Gwirtz are the extremely talented and wacky brains behind this exploration “…in which we find that there is always a large pachyderm-like entity that invisibly inhabits every room, real or metaphorical.”
