Excellent, there’s a screening of the Minutemen documentary tonight in SF. I’m going to try to make the 9PM showing.

Update: I was able to catch this and it was really good. If you like the Minutemen’s music you’ll probably like it too, although it’s less of a documentatary and more of a collection of vintage live clips with some very brief interviews, and very light on facts and information and a little too long on fanboy worship of the band. So if you’re not familiar with them, you might be a little lost. I feel a special connection with the band because I lived in San Pedro for a little while in high school (long story) and I interviewed Mike Watt briefly in college. I felt really lucky to have met him; it was one of the high points of my brief journalism career.
