Читать книгу Wake Up and Smell The Beer - Jon Longhi - Страница 3

Many thanks go to my publisher for putting up with me, Jen and Phoebe, Jim Mervine, Philip Walsh, Bucky Sinister, Miles Long, Chris Lauer, Mike Stevens, Robert Crumb, Kash, Ron Turner and the whole Last Gasp gang: you guys are like family to me. For Bernie Kaplan, who helped set me on my way, the whole SF poetry scene who kept me on my way, and all the people who ever gave me readings or bought a book from me. Thanks also go out to all the Manic D authors, my brother Mike, Truck, Jim Todd and the whole old school crew. If I left anyone out, I'm sorry, I'll thank you in the next book. Most of all, I'd like to thank the city and people of San Francisco, my home and muse: this book is little more than a long love letter to you.
