I was looking for something else in a 1/21/69 issue of SF Express Times and found this as an editorial by someone named Smokestack El Ropo. <br /><br />"Group manager/promoter Matthew Katz, who has mostly broken into the news when hassling with his musicians, is planning to turn the old Straight into a membership club for musicians, equivalent to the Press club for journalists, open to them and their guests 24 hours a day. Most of the music under his plan will be in the nature of jams and "creative interchange," of primary interest to musicians, though benefits and other shows open to the public will be scheduled—some at usual dance hours, others after-hours from 2-6 in the morning."Erik Bluhmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01660510153327028210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015290367489085356.post-1598958873610029812012-12-15T10:38:21.097-08:002012-12-15T10:38:21.097-08:00It's the American Hellenic Progressive Associa...It's the American Hellenic Progressive Association, a Greek-American association that works to promote the ancient Greek ideals of education, philanthropy, civic responsibility, etc. Erik Bluhmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01660510153327028210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015290367489085356.post-55130671501002309242012-12-09T17:08:12.985-08:002012-12-09T17:08:12.985-08:00I think Sep 6 '69 is the first Ahepa Center sh...I think Sep 6 '69 is the first Ahepa Center show, although what "Ahepa" stood for or meant is beyond me. Katz's mysterious hand floats around. He seemed to book all his bands at a club on Broadway in August '69 (Headhunters Amusement Park) and then they started to turn up at the Ahepa Center.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015290367489085356.post-4850046144961697042012-12-09T16:04:45.975-08:002012-12-09T16:04:45.975-08:00I've been interviewing the guys from Nymbus fo...I've been interviewing the guys from Nymbus for a piece for Shindig and there's a show they played at the AHEPA Center with Indian Puddin and Lazarus Sept. 6, '69. The handbill reads Aura Productions presents... Aura Productions was Lee Pederson, who was also acting as Nymbus's manager. I'm not sure if he managed anyone else. The H.T. initials at the bottom show that Nymbus artist Hector Tellez drew it. It also says "grand opening" at the bottom right. Was this the first rock show at the AHEPA, or just Aura's first?

November 1-3, 8-10, 15-17 and 29 to December 1 were Friday to Sunday "film shows" with no specific advertising of scheduled events per se. However, the weekend of November 22-24 did see "Magical Mystery Tour" played on the Friday and Saturday whilst Freedom Highway, Clover, Psycle and Doug Williams performed on the Sunday. So I have amended the Straight Theater entries for November 22 and 23, 1968.

In April then in June, one directly on the heels of the other, Martin Luther King then Bobby Kennedy were assassinated. Those were sad and heavy times, brothers and sisters. The feeling: God help us all now. And the Commission Exhibit 885 showing should be viewed in that historic frame, and remembered.barbara flaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117004332062687461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015290367489085356.post-6351613181341714472011-01-09T18:25:17.621-08:002011-01-09T18:25:17.621-08:00That's fascinating, Barbara.

What historians do not mention, and I was in the theater during the November 1968 show, is there was also an "underground" film shown, which was an early black and white version of the stills from Zapruder films, mixed with other black and white photos of the assassination, entitled I believe Commission Exhibit 885. <br /><br />I recall seeing one woman scream and flee from the theater as she was expecting the happy Beatles experience to continue on. <br /><br />Have you heard of this before in your historic excavations? It is a true story and should be remembered.barbara flaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117004332062687461noreply@blogger.com
