BAG OF TRICKS: BOOK ONE
These vignettes stand alone yet bleed into one another. Meet the band The Shits, their groupies The Clits, and an array of colourful characters who populate these streets, squats and punk shows. With them, we cop drugs, shoot up, dumpster dive, trip around The City, go to punk shows and slip between the cracks of society. Most of the stories are true, although some of the details may or may not have happened…
tricky business: BOOK two
Tricky Business is book two of the BAG OF TRICKS trilogy: a compilation of short stories about San Franciso punks in the early 80’s. Continue to share the adventures of The Shits, Val, Sophie, Amy, Babe, Annie, Carla, Marco and other denizens of the punk scene as they spread out across The City attending punk shows, doing drugs and other mischief to themselves and one another, and maybe learning a thing or two about survival on the outside.
