I’ll be at Bluestockings tonight with Howard Swerdloff for a short discussion and book signing.

I’ll also be hanging some original copies of sixties underground newspapers from my collection. The weather is shitty, but it will be a fun night. Hope to see you there. Here’s the official line:

Reading: Sean Stewart “On the Ground”
With Howard Swerdloff

In four short years (1965-1969), the underground press in the U.S. grew from five small newspapers to over 500 newspapers–with millions of readers–all over the world. On the Ground: An Illustrated Anecdotal History of the Sixties Underground Press in the U.S. is comprised of stories told by the people involved with the production and distribution of the newspapers and features dozens of full-color reproductions which provide a window into the spirit of the times.  Join editor Sean Stewart and Howard Swerdloff (once called “Little Lenin” by The New York Times, Swerdloff was one of the founders of the New York High School Free Press) in a reading, discussion, and celebration of the release of On the Ground.

In the next couple days I’ll finally get back to scanning and I’ll also throw up some photos of the events I did and capers I went on last week in the Bay Area.
