hovering rain

oversized sweaters
natural light
colorful tiles
mason jars
and the smell of something baking...where you're still wondering what it could be

that's all I got for now....more wants posing as needs to come I'm sure of it.

Tennessee me in Brooklyn

I moved into my Brooklyn apartment and I can't stop singing this song...
the two don't add up, but it equals something good.

Stop Motion with REAL HUMANS

I saw this years ago and still am loving it.
It's making me think about the upcoming spring equinox and my return home for Ann Arbor Film Festival!

Miss Jackson....."you git it gurl"

Just  saw Miss Jackson in Detroit tuesday night.....what a lady, a fine talented lady. Cried too much (Michael references) and couldn't dance enough.

Dear Ann Arbor, you're doing some things right!

The 49th Ann Arbor Film Festival ended last night. A little sad because it is truly one of the best weeks of the year in this city. Suffering from a bit of sleep deprivation now, but I think it was well worth it. Met some beautifully minded people, watched some incredible films, and drank just enough Makers Mark while still maintaining my day job.

Can't wait for the 50th!

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK

The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye by Marie Losier

The South China Mall 

This mall was discussed in Sam Green's Utopia in Four Movements. It is the largest mall in the world....with one little glitch, it's empty. If we just send some Americans over there I'm sure they'll solve that issue.

Mr. Anger, You've made me so happy.

Tonight was an "Evening with Kenneth Anger" at the Ann Arbor Film Festival and what an evening it was. Good ole' Kenny taught us a thing or two about young men, sailors, Lucky Strikes, motor bikes, and oldies. I've seen his Scorpio Rising before, but to see one film after another (Rabbit's Moon could play on repeat and I'd be satisfied) and then get to listen to Mr. Anger go on about all such topics as Lucifer  and the Jonas Brothers was to say the very least, quite the experience. Kenneth was a like the hyper/homo-sexual, satan-worshipping, endearing uncle that I never had and always wanted.
I also had the opportunity to meet Brian Butler, who has worked with Kenneth for many years and most recently did the projections for the Valentino Fall 2010 show in Paris. Hearing this was the type of moment when you try to keep your eyes in head and wipe the drool from the floor...I mildly succeeded at this - but Paris Fashion Week, six projectors, Kenneth Anger, front row, and Valentino - that man is living my dreams.

Film Fest ends tomorrow....tear, until next year.
