50 Years On: A Gathering to Celebrate The Berkeley Barb
With the 50th anniversary of the birth of the Berkeley Barb coming up in mid-August, what could be better than a Berkeley-based celebration—call it a Barbapolooza. Toward that end, a small but growing group of former Barb vets (both staff and contributors) is just starting to kick this idea into shape.
So far, the initial plans include:
August 12: A private celebration party with live music and comedy celebrating free speech and the alternative press, at Berkeley's Freight & Salvage.
August 13: The Berkeley Main Library will be hosting a day of speakers and panels. Peter Dale Scott and Dr. Eugene Schoenfeld (Dr. Hip) will be featured along with panels of Barb editors, staffers, and contributors.
• Spread the word. Help us reach out to other Barb vets. Please check out the attached list. Folks in bold have been contacted and will be attending. Can you help us reach the others? And who's missing from the list?

Other news:
• We have secured web domains for berkeleybarb.org and .net and have acquired the funding to have the website designed. Also, for the first time, we have arranged for the Barb to be digitally scanned by professional archivists (Jef Moyer's Reveal Digital in Saline, Michigan). The contents will be made freely available to all on our new webpage.
• We are looking for resources to create historical displays for the Library and other locales so, if you have any Barb-related photos, posters, letters, art, or memorabilia, please send scans or photographs to diana.lynn@comcast.net.
• And we even have a spot on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/berkeley.barb?fref=nf
