Playing with Buildings and Armory Shows

By admin | Published: May 30, 2008

Stairs, shadows at SFMOMA One of the must-do fun things to do in NYC this summer is visit the Battery Maritime Building where David Byrne has installed an organ that plays the different pieces of an old building. New York Times has a write up with video today. This reminded me of an episode: My [...]

Survival of the Crunchiest

SFMOMA catwalk installation by Olafur Eliasson Judging from other photos I’ve seen of this catwalk with nothing on it, Eliasson accomplished something unexpected in removing all sense of vertigo I usually feel when traipsing around in high places. I’ll have to see his show at P.S. 1. I had a nice birthday yesterday. I have [...]

Remember

By admin | Published: May 26, 2008

There was a white cat named Mummy hanging out at the Ding Dong for the past couple of weeks. She was running in and out of the bar the other night, between people’s legs and out under parked cars. I said, “Someone should put her in or she’s gonna get hit by a car.” You [...]

War, Inc.

By admin | Published: May 22, 2008

I was dumb enough to volunteer for a screening of John Cusack’s new movie and ye, sucks pretty bad. He should’ve stuck to being low-budget absurd and focused more on the writing. There’s a lot of money in this production and it’s wasted on a flat script.  I can’t believe Mark Leyner had a hand [...]

Streets of San Francisco

Stanyan St., SF Succulent, SF Todd and his whirly Here are some shots from San Francisco. It’s a cool town. Todd is one of the few people I know who will oblige me when I say, “Let’s play fake jazz!” He’ll even say stuff like, “Make it faker!” I’ll have some color shots up soon. [...]

Short Sabbatical

By admin | Published: May 12, 2008

Hey kids, I’m in San Francisco for a few days. In college at UCSB, I was a sometime guest in a band called The Whitefronts and I jammed last night with their drummer/guitarist and trombonist–who I don’t think I’ve seen since I last played with him. We slipped right back into the old songs lickety-split. [...]
