The Miami Collective
When I was very young (OK…younger), I heard the siren song of Miami. Miami. You know, where the heat is on. I started to visit the Magic City as a child, but I started to get to know it as a teen through the magic of the movies. Movies, Miami movies, back when movies where […]
Call Me Pollyanna
And now, 15 annotations to this letter I put together and sent to that cunt Donald Trump through his campaign’s website a few days after Election Day 2016. I thought, at this juncture, I’d re-evaluate it, and share the extra flare I’d sprinkle on it now (once an editor…always an editor) – footnotes, for color, […]

Anticipatory Storytelling
OMGwyneth, it’s a thing. It is such a thing, anticipatory storytelling. Don’t believe me? Ya don’t have to. After all these years, ask the braintrust at HBO’s Game of Thrones dot Inc. Or the folks at Marvel; they’ll billion-dollar tell you. I am so entertained right now.
Coachella Vibes
The Queen of Pop was the key. In 2006, Madonna headed to the desert to do Coachella, in favor of her then-most recent release, 2005’s Grammy-winning Confessions on a Dance Floor.

Madonna is back. That’s all. I mean, what more could you want? The Queen is Pop is back with the first single off her upcoming 14th album, a Portugal-inspired record titled Madame X dropping on June 14. The song, titled “Medellín,” was produced by frequent M collaborator, the French artist Mirwais, and features the hot Latino heartthrob du […]
Dear Neighbors
Dear Neighbors, It’s sooo easy. Easy as one, two, one, two. All you actually gotta do is get involved. Actually, properly involved. Marchin’ and donatin’ and commiseratin’ online are all fine things to do, but you gotta walk the talk. Otherwise that shit will stew. Take it from me. The sad story I see unfolding […]
He Got That Play
Once upon a time in 2010, during a FAM trip for writers to Fort Lauderdale, I met my friend, the Maplewood, N.J.,-based playwright Tim Pinckney. Last winter, Tim came to San Francisco to debut his play Still at Risk at the New Conservatory Theatre Center. A bit of a period piece set post-AIDS crisis, Still […]
