The LUVeR Award

THE LUVeR AWARD will be given to individuals who have shown a deep and life-long commitment to underground art in its many forms, and/or have consistently supported such art/artists.

LUVeR Award winners:

JEN NEUBER an activist/organizer at UC Berkeley

ROB PRICHARD of Surf Reality in New York City.

JESSE BEAGLE for her long, rich, deep life in and for art, music, and poetry. Visit her website.

DIRK DIRKSEN, the pope of punk, the creator / producer / ringmaster within the infamous san francisco punk / avant garde clubs / theaters THE MABUHAY and THE ON-BROADWAY, the wet nurse for hundreds of cutting edge artists ... a doer of good works! THIS SHOULD STOP THE WHINING PHONE CALLS FROM HIM! http://www.outspokenideas.com

DAVE AND ANA CHRISTY, the legends of the small press...sure, Ana is a great poet ... sure, Dave has created literary pipelines to get the voices of the underground circulating, making community possible. But it is their life together in New Hope, PA that provides the archtype of the ARTIST LIFE that inspires many. Email them at canmansaysgoodnight@yahoo.com

DAN AND MARGARET CROCKER, a younger version of Dave and Ana. Dan captures the heart, soul, and spirit of america in his writings. But Ithink the award goes really to Margaret for keeping Dan alive and writing ... a very challenging life work! Visit their website.

All of these people have created masterpieces in both art and life ... in the underground. THE LUVeR AWARD is a thank you. Hopefully $500 will not corrupt them!
