A beautiful Art Deco theater in Alameda packed with passionate Alamedans marked the fulfillment of my dream begun 4+ years ago. My thanks to Connie Jo Sechrist (who MC’ed the Q&A) , @Tracy Rosenberg (executive-director of Media Alliance) and the indomitable @David Howard (of Action Alameda News) for pulling it off and putting it together. More than 150 people attended, including the new and sympathetic mayor of Alameda, @Trish Herrera Spencer, and Ray’s foster mom, Dee Berry.
