Book Description
The reason I am writing this book is because it has never been properly given credit to the real cradle of the Who’s success: San Francisco. The concerts the Who played at promoter Bill Graham’s Bay Area venues made them grow exponentially and unified them as a band at a time that guitarist Pete Townshend recalled as artistically and financially draining. San Francisco held the band together, gave it confidence and the right input that made it become what it is known for today. The two Winterland concerts in 1968 and 1976 are pivotal, in that 1968 is the one in which the most interesting experimentation took place, while the 1976 performance is considered the band’s Zenit by everyone that was there.

Book Description
During the 1990s, Austin achieved "overnight" success and celebrity as a vital place for independent filmmaking. Directors Richard Linklater and Robert Rodriguez proved that locally made films with regional themes such as Slacker and El Mariachi could capture a national audience. Their success helped transform Austin's homegrown film community into a professional film industry staffed with talented, experienced filmmakers and equipped with state-of-the art-production facilities. Today, Austin struggles to balance the growth and expansion of its film community with an ongoing commitment to nurture the next generation of independent filmmakers. Chainsaws, Slackers, and Spy Kids chronicles the evolution of this struggle by re-creating Austin's colorful movie history. Based on revealing interviews with Richard Linklater, Robert Rodriguez, Mike Judge, Quentin Tarantino, Matthew McConaughey, George Lucas, and more than one hundred other players in the local and national film industries, Alison Macor explores how Austin has become a proving ground for contemporary independent cinema. She begins in the early 1970s with Tobe Hooper's horror classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and follows the development of the Austin film scene through 2001 with the production and release of Rodriguez's $100-million blockbuster, Spy Kids. Each chapter explores the behind-the-scenes story of a specific movie, such as Linklater's Dazed and Confused and Judge's Office Space, against the backdrop of Austin's ever-expanding film community.

Book Description
Jeremy Halstead graduated from college with a degree in Specialized Ministries and an emphasis in Youth Ministry. Shortly after entering full-time ministry, he realized that even though he had earned a degree, he was truly ill-equipped for the ministry that he was now serving in. Jeremy surmised that he could not be the only youth leader who felt this way, so nineteen years later he wrote this book based upon his ideas, experiences, stories, victories, and failures. The title of the book may sound a bit strange, but everyone uses the bathroom, and most people read while doing so--why not read about what you love and are involved in: youth ministry. This book was written to be a tool for youth workers. You can read it from beginning to end, or just open it to any page, as there is no rhyme or reason to the order of the topics. As you read the pages be inspired to try something new, be educated with fresh information and ideas, and be equipped to implement what you have read immediately into your ministry.
