Caserta convinced Levi Strauss to make bell bottoms\, and was Janis Joplin’s ‘primary female love interest’ from ’66 until Joplin’s death in 1970. You can read more about it here (and in a biography Caserta has recently published). This is sure to be an intimate event – take a virtual tour if you’d like! \nUpstairs @ the Doolan-Larson Building\, photo by Evan Karp\nTaking a tour of the building\nSF Heritage will be conducting a tour of the building for up to 12 people at 6:45pm\, before the show\, and another tour of the same size following the show.
