DESCRIPTION:Who is Bozo Texino?  With filmmaker Bill Daniel in attendance!\n\nFriday, 
 March 30.  7:00 PM - Location: Fools Foundation - 1025 19th St, Sacto - off 
 of K St between 19th & 20th next to the back end of Old Spaghetti Factory.  
 Admission: $5.00. \n\nWho is Bozo Texino? is a film on the 100-year-old 
 tradition of hobo and railworker graffiti. The project is the result of a 
 20-year study of "monikers" and is fabricated from hours of 16mm and super 
 8 film, most of it shot on freight trips across the western US. The film 
 includes interviews with some of the railroad's greatest graffiti legends: 
 Colossus of Roads, The Rambler, Herby (RIP) and the granddaddy of them all, 
 Bozo Texino. The film also catches some of the socioeconomic history of 
 hobo subculture from its roots after the Civil War to the present day. 
 Included are interviews with tramps that Daniel encountered in his travels. 
 The range of the interviews, and the film's style deal with both the 
 cliches and the harsh realities of tramp life.\n\nThis spectacular travel 
 adventure faithfully photographed in realistic black and white film at 
 considerable risk from speeding freight trains and in secret hobo jungles 
 in the dogged pursuit of the impossibly convoluted story of the heretofore 
 untold history of the century-old folkloric practice of hobo and railworker 
 graffiti and the absurd quest for the true identity of railroading's 
 greatest artist will likely amuse and confound you in its sincere attempt 
 to understand and preserve this artform.\n\nFilmmaker Bill Daniel (who also 
 worked on Craig Baldwin's "Sonic Outlaws") will be in attendance for a Q&A. 
  He'll also be bringing along a short film or two and maybe some other 
 stuff!\n\n"Daniel manages to say more about life, art, America and the 
 simple joy of filmmaking than most directors manage in decades." - Neil 
 Young's Film Lounge\n\n"Bill Daniel's homegrown epic is as kinetic and 
 raggedly beautiful as the trains he hopped to make it. a  film about 
 freedom as literal passage across the land. Corporations brand things to 
 say they own them, but there are ways in which humans have marked things to 
 say they cant be owned." - Jem Cohen\n\n"Daniel and Renwick makes some of 
 the liveliest work on the microcinema circuit, wherein film, video art, and 
 music collide with edgy, confrontational, unpredictable and often exuberant 
 intensity." - The Washington Post\n\nYou can always check the Shiny Object
