DOWNLOAD EBOOKGoing Sane in San Francisco is based on a true story about two brothers from a San Francisco entertainment family. One brother, Steve Silver, was a gay man who married a woman months before dying of AIDS to bury the truth about his sexuality and became fabulously wealthy by creating Beach Blanket Babylon, the longest running stage show in America. His brother Roger, who grew up despised by their social-climbing mother, was eventually disowned by his brother. The book explores the inner workings of greed, manipulation, deceit, control, the music and theater businesses, drugs and drug smuggling, the Grand Jury, family betrayal, San Francisco society, the city of San Francisco, the blackest of black widows, fame, death, a murder in Mexico, love, sex, emotional survival, and redemption.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTravel books and magazines continually rate San Francisco among the ten most desirable destinations in the world--and Elan Penn, along with journalist Christopher J. Craig, successfully captures all its enchantment. Readers will practically hear the cable car bells sound as they examine images of the city’s scenic and man-made treasures, culturally diverse and distinctive neighborhoods, and landmarks. But San Francisco has a compelling story to tell, and it’s all here too: its Mexican origins, the gold rush, the devastating earthquakes, and the stunning rebirth. In addition to such well-known sites as the Golden Gate Bridge and the Presidio, Ghirardelli Square, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Haight-Ashbury, the pictures include such landmarks as City Lights Bookstore; the hotels and mansions of the Golden A≥ memorials, monuments, and religious structures; and oases of education and entertainment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY A blazingly funny, heartfelt memoir from the daughter of the larger-than-life woman who ran Sticky Fingers Brownies, an underground bakery that distributed thousands of marijuana brownies per month and helped provide medical marijuana to AIDS patients in San Francisco--for fans of Armistead Maupin and Patricia Lockwood During the '70s in San Francisco, Alia's mother ran the underground Sticky Fingers Brownies, delivering upwards of 10,000 illegal marijuana edibles per month throughout the circus-like atmosphere of a city in the throes of major change. She exchanged psychic readings with Alia's future father, and thereafter had a partner in business and life. Decades before cannabusiness went mainstream, when marijuana was as illicit as heroin, they ingeniously hid themselves in plain sight, parading through town--and through the scenes and upheavals of the day, from Gay Liberation to the tragedy of the Peoples Temple--in bright and elaborate outfits, the goods wrapped in hand-designed packaging and tucked into Alia's stroller. But the stars were not aligned forever and, after leaving the city and a shoulda-seen-it-coming divorce, Alia and her mom returned to San Francisco in the mid-80s, this time using Sticky Fingers' distribution channels to provide medical marijuana to friends and former customers now suffering the depredations of AIDS. Exhilarating, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartbreaking, Home Baked celebrates an eccentric and remarkable extended family, taking us through love, loss, and finding home.
