I was in elementary school and made this poster for a school contest, and somehow won second place (maybe there were only two entries?!?). My dad recently discovered it in a family “time capsule,” aka a trunk that hadn’t been opened in decades.
I bought some of these used as a kid back in the 70s and 80s. Others belonged to my parents, and I don't know how I wound up with a few of them.
I don’t really have any family holiday traditions, but given that I’ve now seen Low Cut Connie at the Stone Pony in December 3 times with my oldest childhood friend, I think this counts as a tradition.
My favorite photo from the Paul McCartney exhibit I saw last weekend at the De Young Museum in San Francisco.
Went to a protest on a Berkeley I-80 overpass and a lovely person gave me a free patch, with safety pins. To the 3 jerks I saw giving us the finger as they drove past, you were vastly outnumbered by the folks who honked and waved with great enthusiasm. There are way more of us than there are of you.
Great fun tonight at the Fillmore hearing Michael Shannon & @jasonnarducy.bsky.social play @remhq.bsky.social tunes. Spotted this vanity plate in the parking garage. Can’t wait for the next go-round, Lifes Rich Pageant (the first tour I saw—I skipped class in college to get the tickets).
This is a Debra Winger fan post. She's about to say "Wanna prove it?," after asking him if he knows how to two-step. A single image from a film that immediately makes you hear a song from the soundtrack playing in your head.
This is an outdated map, but there are still only 10 states with a greater population than LA County.
I don’t have a bucket list, but tonight I met one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Richard Shindell, after he played at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville (where I was visiting family). It was a wonderful show, my first time at the Bluebird, and he was lovely when I spoke with him briefly afterwards.
Amazing show tonight at the Fox in Oakland. Lucinda Williams opened w/ her band and later came back to sing with Mike Campbell’s Dirty Knobs (featuring Steve Ferrone on drums), after their set. It’s a crime that this show didn’t sell out. I was lucky to be so close!
