Attention

You guys – they just want attention. You know who they are: We see these folks acting the fools every single day, and a large mob of ’em recently took over the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Oh, for sure, sometimes, we are the asshole – but, fingers crossed, the moment passes you by, […]

Postcard from the Miami Design District

I’ve mixed feelings about this one, but it was bound to happen – and that’s the sunnier side of the street, feelings-about-it-wise, so good on ya, Miami, for carrying on and having a Basel season in 2020, after all. Oh yeah, not even that bitch COVID-19 could keep the Magic City from getting down with […]

Llegó el Otoño

Fall is here. Ya llegó el otoño – o la primavera, dependiendo de dónde estén. Tengan cuidado; el COVID-19 sigue por todos lados. 🙌🏽😷👍🏽 Creo que lo de las máscaras ya se calmó un poco (más vale prevenir que lamentar, after all), porque people were not getting the message that masks are like the easiest, […]

San Francisco, 11.17.19

We should all be farmers. We should all be farming. By which I mean we should all know how to work our land, how to nurture it during the short while we are with it on it, how to take from it without leaving it barren for whomever is coming next. Instead, we are warring. […]

We Must Adapt

For the past month, we have had some weather up here in Northern California. The smoke plus the fog in the Bay Area has been a realness. It is not pleasant. I am beyond-grateful to be safely sheltered with my family, and to want for almost nothing. I understand Cal Fire has dubbed the Northern […]

Pandemic Peeps: Paul Clemence

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Month 5. Month 5 who? Yeah, y’ know…Month 5 (dude) of the COVID-19 global pandemic and – shudder – of this generalized global shutdown that has ensued and that stubbornly won’t let up unless we all wear our masks, already, and we all make ourselves scarce so that we are not […]

C’mon Now

COVID-19 isn’t a crisis anymore. It is a failure, of our leadership and of our humanity. There it is. And here we are (still), looking like we didn’t know this novel coronavirus was this much of an existential threat (there is no vaccine! it spreads easy and fast! it can kill you or your loved […]

The Thing About the Met Gala

The thing about that most well-chronicled of American pop traditions, the Met Gala, or the Met Ball, is I used to write about it on my Movie Martin blog, filing under “Fashion” because, in my estimation, the soirée was and remains a fashion event about fashion. It exists for fashion, in the service of fashion, because of […]

The G4laxy Quest Collective

It must be the Sigourney Weaver-ness of it all. Galaxy Quest, which featured the actress, came out 20 years ago this Christmas. Took me two decades to check it out. SF Sketchfest is celebrating another of the cult laugher’s stars, Tony Shalhoub, in conversation with Kevin Pollak early in the new year, on Jan. 11 […]
