Once we were in the editing suite and Jake came in to grab a big pile of gear to take back to his office. He was always “escaping” to his office for one reason or another… Anyway… At some point in the process of carrying an awkward load of equipment, his glasses fell off of his face and he exclaimed “GODDAMN BIFOCALS!” This is where the Bifocal Media moniker came from.
Jake had tons of very cool books and periodicals from the 60s and 70s related to, and produced by people involved with the Guerrilla Television movement.
