Update #4: Oakland in Popular Memory Kickstarter success!
Posted on January 2
Happy New Year, and thanks for contributing to Oakland in Popular Memory! The Kickstarter goal was met on New Years Eve. If you contributed $25 or more, please send your mailing address to editor@thoughtpublishing.org, and I'll send you a signed copy of the book when it's ready. I'll also email a link to those who contributed $15 or more to the ebook when that's ready.
The book will be published on March 30, 2012. I'll send you details on the book release party closer to the date.
Cheers, and Happy New Year!
-Matt

Connected as Matt Werner (1173 friends)
Born in Oakland, I studied English at UC Berkeley and did a Master's in English at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I currently work as a technical writer in Silicon Valley. Outside of work, I write, interview artists, and DJ.
From 2008-2009, I hosted the DJ Matt Werner Show on Fresh Air: The Alternative, where each week I interviewed a provocative musician. Since then, I have continued to interview Oakland artists for the literary website TheRumpus.net.
