My Attachment to Louise Gillette

Friends and I hung out at last night’s First Friday in Old City. One of our stops was the 3rd Street Gallery on 2nd Street to see Marjorie Grigonis’ Abstractions/Distractions. We enjoyed the show.
Before leaving, I signed the book and grabbed a postcard of the show featuring the Infrastructure painting (see above). I turned [...]

My Favorite Oscar 82nd Moments

Best dressed Elizabeth Banks and Tom Ford.
Tarantino got ripped! Love THE HURT LOCKER and Marc Boal, but Tarantino’s script was full of unique characters and never before imagined scenes … plus, the bravery of rewriting history! Damn! Take that WWII!
Psyched to see Guy Pearce at the show with the other THE HURT LOCKER guys Anthony [...]

Johnny in PHL @ PIGLFF

Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival kicked off on July 10 and runs through July 22. And, where was I on July 11? Nursing off Chi Chi LaRue’s XXX gay porn tit, that’s where! Chi Chi invited my personal hero Johnny Hazzard to accompany her on her Philly Smut Review tour. (Also [...]

Salmon Rushdie @ Free Library of Philadelphia

Not ashamed to admit that I actually shelled out hard cash to attend Salmon Rushdie’s reading at Free Library of Philadelphia. An interesting thing I learned from Sir Rushdie is that there is no such thing in Indian storytelling as “Once upon a time.” Rather, what they have roughly translates to “It is so, it [...]

Home Sweet Home ~ 9 Years

We bought our home in 1999. Since that time, the appearance of our street has greatly improved. Jim planted the Japanese Mable a couple of years ago and built the pergola and planters last year.
