happy birthday america.
Tonight I feel like you are the ex that I had to take a few years off from but after some distance I feel a little more comfortable attending your birthday party. Still though… it is a little awkward between us…
fresh start and a sneak peek at ’stella’
Just now, two months into summer, am I finally catching my breath. Grad school has an uncanny ability to drain any and all creative juices, and my batteries finally feel a bit recharged.
This weekend my plans to head back home to Virginia were scrapped so I’m taking a long four day weekend to invest in our domicile. The big project is transforming my back studio into something functional and inspiring. There have been various incarnations over the past year plus but I think it is finally going in a direction that I am proud of.
More pictures to come, but here’s a sneak peek at where ’stella’ is headed.
Thank you to Leah for motivating me from afar, to Vini for encouraging decisiveness and to the other Kate for being ensuring decisiveness.
i made buttons.
Tonight I made buttons out of wallpaper scraps at The Curiosity Shoppe. All of this in honor of Derek and Lauren’s new book Wallpaper Projects.
I bought my copy at Strand last month when I was frolicking in NYC and got it signed tonight by the DIY design mavens.
a special reminder to vote NO in the special election
Tuesday, May 19th is a special election here in California.
The props are confusing and involve lots of taxes, money and the overall state budget.
Both the League of Young Voters and the SF Bay Guardian agree:
Vote No on 1A - 1F
he doth OUTRAGE too much?
In case you haven’t seen it, there is a new doc investigating closeted politicians who spend their days advocating against queers and then their nights doing just the opposite. I am all for privacy, but not when you mouth off publicly against the same people that you put your mouth on privately.
If you live in SF, NY, LA, DC or Philly go see OUTRAGE now, this week, in a theater. Indie docs have a short timeframe to make money and build buzz. Live somewhere else? Check the official site for upcoming screenings around the country.
Outing tends to bring out serious emotions but you won’t believe the reaction of DC’s local news anchor Doug McKelway.
Below are the original episode where McKelway threatens gay blogger, Michael Rogers and runs over his co-anchor. Next, his non-apology, where he continues to steamroll his on-screen partner. And then finally, the OUTRAGE trailer.
