Publisher's Synopsis

An autobiography of Dirk Dirksen as promoter of San Francisco's legendary Mabuhay Gardens, 1974-1984. Dirksen almost single-handedly made punk possible in SF by providing an all-ages, low-admission-charge venue where anybody could play and almost nobody was rejected. He experienced the Mabuhay denizens and their antics as theatre.
