The Boys Who said NO!
Draft Resistance and the Vietnam War
The Boys Who Said NO! is the little-known story of a small group of courageous citizens who rose up and took decisive action when they saw their government doing terrible wrong. Draft resisters refused military service to bring attention to their cause and let others know they too could resist. Eventually millions of Americans protested in the streets, and the war was ended. For the first time in American history, a citizen uprising forced the government to end a war.

Free Film Screening: Dolores a Rebel.Activist.Feminist.Mother
Friday August 9th, 7:00 pm

Dolores : Rebel Activist Feminist Mother
This film tells the story of Dolores Huerta, among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history.
An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century.

Will Durst’s BoomeRaging – From LSD to OMG
The Bolinas Community Center Presents
Will Durst’s BOOMERAGING: FROM LSD TO OMG.
Door 6:30 pm Show 7:00 pm Tickets $12 Click here to purchase tickets
Cash Bar
The man the New York Times calls “quite possibly, the best political comedian working in the country today,” Will Durst, proudly takes to the road with his acclaimed show that has been running since 2013 in the Bay Area. “BoomeRaging: From LSD to OMG”, is an uproarious tribute to the joys, achievements, frustrations, and looming doom of the Baby Boom Generation. In this rollicking 85- minute monologue, Durst explains why his chronologically gifted brothers and sisters should continue to refuse to grow old in the face of gravity no matter how many times they forget their password retrieval question. It’s what happens when acid flashbacks meet dementia. A celebration of the maturation of the Boomer Nation: culminating in an extra, added special treat- the Meaning of Life.
Ably assisted by his genially acerbic wit and trusty overhead projector, Durst explores the Boomer revolutions, evolutions and still vibrant role in today’s youth obsessed society (which we invented, for crum’s sake). He shamelessly strokes egos and pats hands, encouraging the Flower Power Generation to persevere through segments entitled The Psychedelic Colonoscopy, Still Doing Drugs, Only Now There’s a Co- Pay & From the Summer of Love to the Winter of Our Incontinence. It’s funny. It’s smart. Clean and uplifting, even. A unique theatrical event delivered with stand- up timing and not less than a modicum of poetry.
Special Note: Due to the use of startlingly archaic technology, children under the age of 40 will not be admitted unless accompanied by a guardian or if they bring a note. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Mariee Sioux *Album Release* in Bolinas w/ Parting Lines
Sunday June 9th 8:00pm to 10:00pm
Tickets $ 10 – $20 To buy tickets click here
It is with great excitement we invite you to join us at the Community Center in Bolinas California for an evening of potent music to Celebrate Mariee Sioux’s album release and start calling in summer. This is open to the public and kid friendly! 🎶🦋
As people arrive we are inviting attendees (and performers) to take part a simple community alter building, bringing a flower/flowers and or small item (that you can take home with you after) that represents your ancestors or anything your are going through at this time be is lovely or difficult. Much of this evening will be about honoring our present moment in life, our ancestors and remembrance of who and where we come from.
To start this evening off we will have Southern California duo Parting Lines opening ✌🏾. This new project comprised of Tim Ramsey and Trevor Beld Jimenez is full of beautiful melodic twists n turns to get lost in and groove to! They are longtime members of the bygone Los Angeles folk-rock outfit, Tall Tales and the Silver Lining, and sidemen to bands Vetiver, Little Wings, and DIOS. Their debut LP, See You On The Other Side, was released on August 31, 2018 on Night Bloom Records and has upbeat and moving melodies that sometimes gives nods to Petty and Springsteen 🎶🎶.
Closing out the evening Mariee SiouxSioux will be performing her new record Grief in Exile in it’s entirety from start to finish with her backing ensemble, father Gary Sobonya on mandolin and fellow songwriters/producers, Kacey Johansing and Tim Ramsey who helped record the album, much of it actually in Bolinas spring of 2018. This will be a very special event to release this body of work in a place that has great significance to them all ♥. A few songs from the album even were written in Bolinas where Mariee spent much of her time over the past decade.
We would love for you to join us in the magic of this evening!
