Below is a video that Matt Petty made for the San Francisco Chronicle website about the Stereo 15 Year Anniversary Show held on April 21, 2007 at 3131 Clement. Matt did an excellent job capturing all elements of the show from set-up to completion. I co-curated the show with my good friend and 3131 Clement owner Yong-Ki Chang. Enjoy!

Below is a link to a video that Hidehiko Fujiwara made from the Clement Cement show at 3131 here in San Francisco this past May 2006. The show featured myself and good friends Ian Johnson and Ando Caulfield.
