Coffee Gallery Backstage's Bob Stane will receive the Best of the West Ambassador Award this weekend at the Folk Alliance - Region West (FAR-West) conference in Irvine. Today's profile of Stane by the fabulous Mickie Mills looks at his career, from running a 24-hour photo shop on the Arizona Indian reservation to booking for the Ice House, and beyond. (Did you know he also wrote the operation manual for the Playboy clubs?) A great profile of a man who's an Altadena institution.
UPDATE: P.S. That fork in the road? It's in honor of Bob. Don't ask!
