A couple of days ago I heard from my former next-door neighbor Ann Do Rademaker. Ann is an integral part of the cult-underground-KCRW band The Tyde. She sent a link to her own blog, Owleypatrol, which she started in June 2006. There’s talk about the bands she and her friends are seeing and social gatherings – rock bands have Christmas parties, too. It's written for her friends. In the midst of the recent postings is a surprising two-parter, which describes in photos and captions Ann's family’s escape from Vietnam in 1979.
