From the Walnut Creek PD:
On 1/06/16 at 2333 hours, the Walnut Creek Police Department (WCPD) received a call that a robbery had just occurred at the 7-11 store located at 301 N. Civic Drive. Surveillance video showed the suspect fled northbound on foot. Officers arrived within a minute and set up a perimeter. A WCPD K-9 tracked the scent but no one was located.
The suspect brandished a handgun at the victim/employee and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the cash register before fleeing. No one was injured in the crime.
The suspect is believed to be the same responsible for recent robberies in Walnut Creek, Redwood City and San Leandro. Investigators from all involved agencies are working together to get the suspect identified.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call WCPD Detective Jeha at (925) 256-3518.

This is All a Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History of the Grateful Dead:
Lafayette Library and Learning Center
3491 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Lafayette
Thursday, January 7th, 2016
7:00pm – 8:30pm | $15This epic oral history, by Blair Jackson and David Gans, of the 50-year-old band uses multiple perspectives to tell the story of a group that began as a San Francisco jug band of penniless hippies, morphed through multiple musical incarnations, and created a colorful psychedelic subculture. The more than 100 voices in the book include members of the Dead, including deceased guitarist/de facto leader Jerry Garcia, and keyboardists Ron Pigpen McKernan and Brent Mydlandand their collaborators as well as business partners and fans. Jackson and Gans relied on new and archival interviews, as well as other published and unpublished sources. To their credit, the authors focus as much on the creation, recording, and marketing of music as they do on the ingestion of hallucinogens. The result is a solid, engaging chronicle.
