Authenticity Conference

Hi All,

This conference, organized by Michael Prince, is part of an annual event on American Beat Movement at the University of Agder, which is home to a large collection of San Francisco area Beat art collected by a Norwegian dentist in the 1950s.

Bill and I will be going to as many events as we can.

Cheers,

Martha
